St. John's Post Game Thread

I missed the game today because I was at the Arkansas-Alabama game as part of my operation 351 trips. I was following the score on my phone and we'll watch the game later. I have to say the Alabama looks really good and has be one of the favorites for the national championship. Brandon Miller was unstoppable, even though he didn't have a gun this time.
 
I haven’t seen much about the crowd. At least 50% UConn from various reports. Maybe 60%. Where else in college basketball does that happen?

Great crowd today. Lots of fun. I haven’t seen anyone mention the play in the second half when Newton was originally callled for his second T and would have been ejected. It happened at a time when SJU was getting every call. The refs reviewed the play and decided to only assess a T on the SJU player. After that play, the calls started to go our way. An incredible turn of events in which Dan Hurley did his best to control his temper. It definitely worked in our favor. Great job Dan Hurley!

Yeah I was yelling about it also. The announcers were saying double technical and I'm screaming, "How the heck can you get a T for that?!" And then they said it was just a T on SJU. Did they actually call double technicals to begin with? Or were the announcers wrong? I wasn't sure.

Because they patted him down before the game. I guess they've been doing this all season. But to continue it? I don't think I've ever seen anything more tone deaf than this. Crazy.

The crowd went nuts when he was introduced. Everyone's acting like nothing happened. I met Nate oats when I visited Buffalo a few years ago. He was very personable and was interested in my operation 351 trips.. I really like the guy but I've lost a lot of respect for him with this incident.

I've been to dozens of UConn games at the Garden over the years and we always represent. But this felt like a siege. I don't know the name of the tune but their poor band played a diddy that our band plays at home games too. The UConn faithful took it over with the U (pause) C (pause) O (pause) NN!
 
The ref that made the T call pointed at both players, so he was calling a double T. Then they looked at the replay and changed the call.

I agree with call although you don’t often see a call corrected like that - good for them.

He was trying to instigate and rile up, and he got caught. While it was a borderline T, I agree with it as it was right in front of the ref and you roll dice as a player when you do stuff like this.

Teams do this all season. I doubt they were even thinking about the connotation

I get it, but after Wednesday and today, I've been seeing things differently. Literally.

If I'm scrolling bottom to top, I've been noticing really good posts that have been put up by people I've previously criticized, questioned, or disagreed with.

I'm also seeing many posts with lots of Likes, Loves, and Laughs that similarly demonstrate shared opinions thoughts, feelings among posters who have regularly criticized, questioned, disagreed, and/or bickered with each other.

Take note, Husky fans.

It's time to come together, and we are showing signs of doing just that.

Winning cures so much.
Let's keep at it.

Anyone find a link to the post game press conferences - Hurley and/or players?
 
Unfortunately couldn't watch live and CBS doesn't post full game replays on their site like Fox does

Anyone have a replay?
 
Great crowd especially first half. Refs kept the Huskies crowd quiet 2nd half but still a good win.

11-18 off the bench is going to make them tough to beat as well as 5 blocked shots from DC. If Joey is back at all that’s huge. And Alleyne being the guy we expected is also critical to our depth so happy for him.

AJ solid again all over the place and much better on O closer to the rim and baseline. Hawk was good I guess, not hot but made big ones. Not great going to the hole or on D though needs to improve on both. Newton solid again, got robbed of a couple dimes with guys not finishing. Sanogo was tough all game, made critical and strong put backs. Tough game for Alex partially because of a couple phantom calls again but he was due.

Only complaint is they don’t score as much and if we throw some zone at them. Sorry this game was perfect for some zone they can’t shoot the ball, close the middle up and stop them from getting clean one on one lanes. And again taking the air out of the ball too early keep attacking, we get very few good shots last 3 minutes when we do that.

Ultimately a win is a win, keep’em coming!

Good win by the Huskies and the referees were fine.

UConn would be in the market for a 2 seed if it had not lost to St. Johns at the XL.

If we beat DePaul and Villanova and then win the Big East Tournament along with several higher ranked teams losing we are definitely a two seed and would have a shot at a one. Maybe I am dreaming but I am the guy that said that we just might end the season just like we started - with a 14 game winning streak. Check out what that gets us!

Can these announcers call every UConn game. Sometimes I think I’m too hard on Donny Marshall but then I hear announcers like we had today - nope :)

They were enthusiastic, knowledgeable and really tuned into the game.

to be fair, ian eagle might literally be the best play-by-play guy in all of american sports. we are lucky whenever he calls one of our games.

@Villanova is going to be a bear.

Because they were empty stats. St John's was shooting 23% for the majority of the 2nd half and David Jones was 3/11. The whole time he was scoring the lead stayed in double digits

He went to the foul line quite a bit and made his foul shots 3 for 11 does not tell the whole story.

Just watched a replay. SJU did enough to make it interesting but they never really threatened for the entire second half. A+ to the crowd, that was clearly a home game for UConn

Hawk took 18 shots but he will always have the green light. Amazing chase down block too

Adama had a “quiet” 18 today. He still gets his even we aren’t force feeding him, great to see.

Another great game for Andre, playing within himself and even nailed a rhythm three pointer. He was having fun out there

JOEY CALIFORNIA! Amazing game. When he’s hitting his shots, our offense looks great

Clingan had 5 blocks in what, 2-3 minutes? He still doesn’t have much touch around the hoop but an off-season of work will do wonders for his offense

Not great shooting from AK, but they were all open looks that he won’t keep missing for long

AJ Storr looks really good. He’s someone I’d love to have on UConn’s team

I used to like Curbelo but not anymore. Even the announcers were saying that he was being emotional and complaining about things that there was no reason to complain about

Had to fast forward most of the second half because it was just a bunch of free throws, but we hit 79% of ours

Ian Eagle and Clark Kellogg have been doing games together for many, many years. Donny is still pretty new to this

If Donny did two things he’d make a huge leap as a color announcer. 1. Talk less. Don’t need to fill up every second of dead air space. 2. First and foremost, talk about what’s going on in the game, on the court. Colorful stories are fine as filler during timeouts. Stick to the game during the game.

And yet St John's never got close, seems like a fine strategy
