NCAA Tournament Saturday (Day 3) Thread

[blkknight1]

Championship DNA is a real thing, one year of success doesn't create it, that's why you can't be cocky

 

[Drame]

Disgraceful performance by StJ. That crap Arkansas team beat the team that wrecked the big east this year. WTF.

 

[jibsey]

Cal is the better college coach.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Well now I can set a match to my bracket.

 

[Scoe]

Hey Brandon Tierney you wanna talk about this unbelievable loss on Monday.

 

[cellocgg]

Does this mean we can wave to Pitino on his way back to Queens?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

What a win for Cal. Can’t say I’m heartbroken.

 

[aceboon]

Ok, so hubby is watching St J, and I'm watching WBB, so what gives with him not getting PT?

Played poorly forcing up shots and it appears that Pitino has simply benched him

 

[Scoe]

The Brandon Tierney and Spike Lee curse is real.

 

[IndyLives]

Big hit to Pitino s legacy today

 

[HooperScooper]

SJU shooting 28% and 2/18 from 3

Lots of us predicted this. I figured they'd get a round farther but this is how I expected they'd go out. At some point in the tournament you need to score. And Arkansas shot 2-19 from three so they weren't world beaters shooting either.

I’ll wave to St. John’s as they take the we suck bus back home.

 

[Durks07]

I hope the St Johns fans wave at storrs on their way back home.

 

[aceboon]

I've been banging the drum all season that I didn't trust St Johns outside of the Big East setting

Long ride back for Spike Lee.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

F St John's. Glad they lost.

 

[Tommyboy]

That stings for Pitino. Lol

 

[ec33]

We need a 1 v 8 upset or the Big East is done

Good thing the SEC is so wildly overrated then.

 

[JeannoCT]

Bye Johnnie’s.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Not sure why SJU went away from Ejiofor. He put Arkansas's entire frontcourt in foul trouble within the first 10 minutes of the game.

 

[boog204]

Cal is the better college coach.

Ummm, no.

Karmic retribution for the SJU victory tour the last few weeks.

 

[HooperScooper]

Will St. John's fans wave to Storrs on the way home?

 

[Ripper32]

Arkansas will be scary if Thiero comes back.

 

[Palatine]

The zone killed SJU.

 

[IndyLives]

The Brandon Tierney and Spike Lee curse is real.

Lol. Whoever Spike roots for hard, they lose. 30 years and counting.

 

[geohusky]

What a shame lol

 

[HCCForever]

Well now I can set a match to my bracket.

I’m sure you’re not alone

 

[boog204]

Not sure why SJU went away from Ejiofor. He put Arkansas's entire frontcourt in foul trouble within the first 10 minutes of the game.

Yup… had a dominant big who was relegated to setting screens for contested jumpshooters. Sounds somewhat familiar.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Pitino wanted to run out of there.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Think piece idea: does Hurley need to reconsider his reconsideration of his portal strategy in light of this result?
