St. John's Post Game Thread

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Glad Andre plays for Dan Hurley and not JC!

There was the rim attack that bounced in and got the foul. AJax turned back and jawed at the the Johnnie, but Adama moved in & pulled him away. The 'and-1' did not go in.

In yesterday's thread that recalled favorite images and moments from players & years past, somebody brought up a time when Rip spent too long in self-satisfied celebration (of a 3?), while his man went down court & scored. As reported, JC went ballistic on Rip.

I'm not sure what to call what St John's plays but I wouldn't call it basketball. At times it looks like team grappling, at other times it looks worse.

They do have a couple reasonably talented but flawed players (Alexander, Soriano) who as the fifth and sixth-seventh best players on a team would be pretty good. Also, Storrs could be something very good with the right development but if I were him I we wouldn't trust that place to develop ne, regardless of who is head coach next year.

I think this is a bit of a swing and miss.

Are you saying that players that JC benched for short periods never improved?

Well, he‘s got a couple of National Championships to prove otherwise.

No. I’m saying that thread you started and continued to assert about how JC would have handled Andre was ridiculous.

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.

Agree but these guys are paid much better! Its a Saturday nationally televised game. Ian Eagle does a lot of different sports. I think he is part of CBS football game play by play team.

 

[Hi-Low]

St. John's has fans?

It’s Andre’s personality for better or worse. Kids testosterone level has to be off the charts. Great job by Adama! He’s solid and under appreciated.

It's big that Alleyne is balling now, it's also big that Joey has got it going again.

Should've won by 20 but St. John's is an incredibly annoying team that mucks it up. Game was never in doubt but still need to keep the foot on the gas for the full 40.

Nova at Wells Fargo will be huge, would be a real confidence boost heading into the Garden.

It’s hard to believe such an accomplished college player and shooter as alleyne has been looked so bad for such a long stretch. He looks tremendous for his role now

I started watching multiple things in the last minute or so, but boy I guess I missed some of the action!

ESPN‘s boxscore was haywire all afternoon.

They kept randomly handing Newton technical fouls. I think he had 17 of them.

Someone find that woman and we can get a Boneyard set up with her and @XLCenterFan. The man is enamored.

So you saw me in the chat? I said I’d wife that.

 

[HCCForever]

I love Adama. He keeps it simple

He seems to be quite the leader as well. He grabbed Jackson to prevent any stupid, emotional action by AJ after he was prevented from finishing his dunk but still ended up with a +1. I think Adama did the same early in the game with Karaban.

 

[XLCenterFan]

They should have thrown her out, period. Security should have escorted her to the exit.

Don’t you ever say that about my future wife.

 

[F101Voodoo]

Not sure what you are saying, but if you trying to make this a “doomed” thing, it wasn’t.

No! Absolutely not saying doomed at all. What I implied but did not say it in detail is that it is no surprise that this team came back now in the end of the season and that is because we have a good bench. Our bench was recognized as deep back then and it was evidenced and on display today. Do you agree?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Given Thomas Cavanagh's depressed state and the high compliment implied by his tweet, it would be insensitive & rude for me to point out that (unless referring to the horror of piled dead bodies), people are measured in numbers not by amount.

 

[metsfan2323]

St Johns gave Mike Anderson an extension two years ago through the 27 season. Yikes.

 

[formerlurker]

It was pretty impressive. Felt like a home game sitting there.

UConn’s Adama Sanogo claps back at ‘G League’ chants from St. John’s fans: ‘That’s cool, they lost’

Dan Hurley and UConn played St. John's Saturday at Madison Square Garden.

www.nj.com

“G League is a league, too,” he told NJ Advance Media. “If I go there, I will go there.”

 

[CTBasketball]

Good overall win, I think the zebras prevented us from blowing them out tho.

And on today, 2/25, history was made. Andre Jackson was a 50% three point shooter.

 

[BarkingDog]

That’s cool. They lost.

Adama Sanogo again shows why he is the rock. 18 points on 5-9 shooting and 8-10 from the free throw line. He also had 9 rebounds. He completely outplayed Soriano.

Andre also played a great game getting 15 points on 5-6, most of it at the rim but also that big three that must have made him feel so good to see that get down.

And when role players step up, like Joey going 3-4 from deep and clingan with five blocks, we are hard to beat.

 

[HailUConn]

Everyone loves California sunshine!
Finally Joe came out of slump.

But gosh, this team can match up with any team in the country if they keep playing like that of late.

Jordan Hawkins is a stud.

Ajax put up 2 good games in a row!

Last but not the least, our bench is out of this world!

 

[F101Voodoo]

She's a Providence fan who was posting here as a UConn fan earlier this week.

Wow is she a part time KGB agent?

 

[UCan3]

No. I’m saying that thread you started and continued to assert about how JC would have handled Andre was ridiculous.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and we can disagree on this one.

Andre at his low point was one of the reasons we had 7 losses and I didn’t agree how it was handled. I made it clear in that thread in which many tried to make it a “trash Andre” thread - which is was not - that I was rooting for him to turn it around.

We took some L’s I wish we had not but I am glad to see Hurley smarten up on Joey C. and Andre tighten up his game as well.

 

[Waquoit]

It was even worse than that. MSU was up 10 with 48 seconds left and LOST

The Great Izzo! What if Dan Hurley pulled that trick?

 

[UCan3]

Agree but these guys are paid much better! Its a Saturday nationally televised game. Ian Eagle does a lot of different sports. I think he is part of CBS football game play by play team.

If I am Donny, stay a bit more positive and in tune with the game. Don’t worry about being a homer for UConn and springing theories you have all game - just call it and stay in the spirit of the game.

Today‘s announcers really kept interest high in a game that was never all that close.

 

[Umami Zen]

A couple of times during game today when Andre was doing crazy Andre kind of things-dunks-blocks-hustle plays.. Clark K was speechless.. He was seeing some stuff he hasn't seen in awhile.. Ultimate compliment to Andre..He was having fun today..

 

[Hurleyman216]

Thank god that didn’t happen because he’s a pretty good point guard.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

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.

 

[BarkingDog]

Also, just learned that our daughter got into UConn.

Pretty good day.
