NCAA Tournament Saturday (Day 3) Thread

[IndyLives]

The zone killed SJU.

Yup. No true bigs to get easy points. Still Luis choked big-time today.

This is really bad for the Big East. I don't know why people are celebrating this.

Because it’s hilarious and we all seen it coming.

Also it’s wonderful for us if we just win

They are who we knew they were a team built for a conference that allows physical play and doesn't call fouls. Unfortunately BE refs don't call tourney games foe BE team. Once they got into a game where they weren't free to just beat up the other team they were going to struggle

 

[BFieldHusky]

@RuffRuff must be heartbroken.

 

[gtcam]

Bye Bye Ricky - don't let the door hit you in the arse as you leave and take that loser Kadary with you
I could care about the fact that they are conference brothers of UConn

 

[cellocgg]

Hey what do you know, our conference sucks lol

 

[JustbrewitMan]

SJU-Arkansas two lousy shooting teams trying to out-lousy each other. And two slimeball coaches trying to out-slime each other.

In the end, SJU won that battle and lost the game.

Embarrassing performance for the BE.

Pitino should stop at Electric Blue on his way back from Providence and buy the team some sympathy lap dances.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Us and Creighton are the Big East's only hope every March.

Now beat Florida and the West is wide open for the taking.

 

[CTFaninCali]

This is really bad for the Big East. I don't know why people are celebrating this.

Because we hate St John’s more than we care to wave the banner of a league that doesn’t do anything to support us.

 

[REB1094]

Turns out that being unable to shoot the basketball makes it hard to win the basketball tournament

 

[Sibeerian]

Cal wins the Slime Bowl.

 

[superjohn]

Luis, Kadary, Scott, and Wilcher went 7-39.

 

[Ripper32]

SJU got a bad matchup. All those long bodies tormented them. You could tell early on.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This is really bad for the Big East. I don't know why people are celebrating this.

There are several posters on this board that would like to see the UConn athletic program burn to the ground if they could get a one post dig at another internet poster who they will never meet.

 

[storrsroars]

I'm not doing the research, but gonna guess that 28% shooting performance was the worst of any 1 seed in modern NCAA tourney history.

Just embarrassing for Pitino, for St John's and for the conference.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

This is really bad for the Big East. I don't know why people are celebrating this.

Because St. Johns, because Pitino. Of course, I'd have preferred they lose to someone else, but it is what it is. Let's have UConn and Creighton make the Sweet 16 and the Big East can carry on proudly.

 

[firstnline]

That will shut up the New York media.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

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

Getting players that can shoot still seems like a sound idea in the long run.

 

[my2cents]

Remember the Pitino quote about waving past the Storrs campus on the way to Providence? Maybe on the way back to Queens they can study some past UConn games to learn how to win tournament games as a high seed.

They should go down I 95 and avoid Storrs. Give them credit, they won ONE NCAA tournament game against a 15 seed.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I'm not doing the research, but gonna guess that 28% shooting performance was the worst of any 1 seed in modern NCAA tourney history.

Just embarrassing for Pitino, for St John's and for the conference.

They were a 2 seed.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Without question the top item on my wish list is for us to cut down the nets once again.

Second on that list is to see Arkansas as the only member of the greatest conference ever to make it out of the first weekend of this tournament. That would be beautiful.

[AntG168]

St John’s doing what St John’s has historically always done somehow being bad for UConn is a stretch of logic. What a mental exercise

 

[storrsroars]

They were a 2 seed.

OK, worst of any 2 seed.

 

[cellocgg]

and suddenly the college basketball fandom in NY has been restored
