Wasn't even funny. Especially since nobody driving from the New York City area is going to drive past Storrs.

 

[cellocgg]

eh, this is pretty innocuous

I think it's funny how obsessed the rest of the league is

I think it's funny how obsessed the rest of the league is about us

Yeah, it's a bit of a complement actually.

No issue here - Pitino was having a little fun.

The only way I can see a UConn fan w/ a beef is if we had not made in the tourney.

Maybe you’ll see on the court in a week or so Ricky…

 

[FearThePups]

I took it as a dig.

 

[bendm]

Love it

 

[MilliniumPrince]

The conference, hell, the game needs this. Now, we have to stick in his eye hole next time we get a shot.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Awesome.

I'd wave back Rick, but I can barely see you behind all this glittering hardware.

Storrs is not on the way to Providence, Slick.
It’s on the way to San Antonio.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Not bad. If St. John’s continues to get 7 figures plus so they can be good, they’ll be our rival. Their fanbase is insufferable though. Who knows if Pitino leaves after 3 years

My question is how many technicals does Pitino and his team get between now and the Eilite 8 when key starters begin fouling out. He won’t have Big East refs looking the other way when playing his body banging defense all over the floor.

And hopefully refs not repeatedly fooled when the 6’9” 240 lb Ejiofor is violently ragdolled to the floor by the power of a sharp glance.

Pitino is easily Top 5 college coach of all time and great on the mic. Show the man some respect.

Maybe Pitino can get them to a Final Four, their last one was 1952.

Was 1985. It's ok to do a little research.

1985 with Mullin and Louie C. I actually grew up a SJU fan until I went to UConn. That affection is now long gone, however.

Respectful jab.. all good

Villanova and Georgetown were there as well with St. Johns to represent the Big East along with Memphis State.

He’s fighting for that tournament bonus money. Those facelifts don’t buy themselves.

 

[BlueandOG]

Yawn. Whatever. Shut him up with what we do on the court.

I like how St. John’s plays and hope they do well. They keep coming at you and seem to gather strength as game goes on- great 2nd half team. Of course, I want UConn to win and keep winning. If Alex can shoot well, they have chance to do well
