Huge win…. Missed at least 10 or more bunnies. Game shouldn’t have even been that close. Needed that win with Nova Xavier and Seton Hall coming up.

UConn is way more talented than most teams in the BE. This underachieving performance and lack of execution is a reflection on the coach too. Players/coaches are not living up to their end.

It doesn’t matter how talented they are if the 5 best players fit together terribly and only 2 of them can shoot somewhat consistently.

I'm going with so out of touch with reality that he believes it's a real possibility

Question. Is it me or are both of these teams today lousy? I know it’s a road win and we take it.
 
If you'd asked me pre-game who St. John's offensive star would be and gave me 6 chances, I still wouldn't have said Montez Mathis.

Good thing Champagnie had an off night offensively, and Posh was out. OTOH, thank God for Whaley's 5-6 shooting.

Tough game, exhausting to watch. Came away with the win, and that's all that really matters.

Have to foul against that team in that situation

I'm very much in the foul up 3 camp but St John's was moving backwards basically the full 13 seconds and none were good looks. I guess why risk a miracle shot falling, but I didn't hate the choice here

You foul as soon as you cross the court. It just bad coaching based on the team we were playing. How bad they shoot FTs. How good we rebound. Just poor management.
 
St John's is a team that will punish you for mistakes like no other in the conference. They're by no means the best team, but they're extremely alert and know how to quickly take advantage of any sloppiness or errors. A win against them, with so many missed points blank shots and cough ups is no small feat. Big win, even if their record doesn't make it seem that way.
 
You’ll take a conference win every time, no matter how ugly they are. That’s the most important thing to come out of today.

But (and I hate to have a but) there are just so many concerning patterns that can’t be overlooked. They are way too careless with the ball, can’t seem to break away from bad teams consistently, and continue to make things way too hard on themselves.

Great defensive stops. Huge win at MSG.. Actually had a few lucky bounces our way today for once .Mojo going into game vs Hall next week. Whaley was awesome on D/blocks today.

Got to spend more time in the layup lines before games!LOL -- Next

They both looked way worse than Nova Seton Hall yesterday but St. John's makes you play ugly. Wouldn't take anything away from it.

We're the worst layup shooting team I've seen in the country though which makes things look ugly. I don't understand it but it definitely needs to be fixed, it makes every game difficult to pull away in.
 
I’m not sure what we do in practice, but happy to get a win after a trying week.

Need to continue to build depth and cut down on the turnovers.
 
They needed to gut out that win and credit to them that they did but that was just brutally hard to watch. How many layups did they miss?

Post game mentioning Johnnies not having a time out on the last play. There was a big defensive play by Jackson I believe earlier in the 2nd half where he trapped a guy under their basket and dude had to call a timeout. Turned out to be a pretty big wasted timeout in the end

At least 20. Thats a guess but it felt like it.

Your IQ lacking a lot lately but I’ll digress and move onward Troll …
