St. John's Post Game Thread

From what I got out of the game, that was:

• Pitino's worst loss as at StJ coach - previous was only 16 to Michigan
• Tied a record for fewest points in a game by StJ (40)

I'd be curious on the last time Pitino lost by 32.

Well prior to this game we had never beaten STJ by more than 29 either

Hurley owns Pitino

Best game of Tarris' career right there. That guy shows up every night, it's a very different look. Has he been saving it? He was the centerpiece of the offense, touched the ball on more posessions than I've seen. Was fully engaged, played hard every minute. You get that, team potential is high.

Was writing my post . Had not seen your post first on screen. Apologize for the similar thoughts. All good

“Beat their Ass!” And they did just that.

So....

Our Ken Pom Defense and Offence...

Both go up a little?

We should have won by at least 40. Missed at least a half dozen wide open threes 2nd half.

Tarris Reed's blocks were the difference!!!! Nothing spells defense like, B L O C K S. Clingan like performance.

 

[MJKI]

This version of Reed is all league, POY type stuff. Hurley said it as much after the game, as long as Reed chooses to play locked in, he’s going to be a monster. If we get this Tarris we will be a force.
Shout out Silas for steadying the rock and to Solo for playing his best defense of the year !

The last 1.5 games on defense have been masterful.

Think the team has figured out play defense and limit turnovers and you won't be touched.

 

[Mr. French]

What a win!

I may even get a like from RashadRay11 that's how you know it's good

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Total Domination!

So good it turned you into a man of few words.

 

[TRest]

Corner turned March is coming.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Charles Okwundi needs to go to every game now.

 

[KingAG]

Amazing what happens when we don't turn the ball over 15 times and get out shot by 30 from the ft line

Our defensive switching at the arc was flawless. So different from the first game. I don't think St John's was ready for it and by the second half they had already given up. Our coaching and game planning is pretty darn good.

 

[jojipoji]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
What.

That was CRAZY. One of the best defensive performances I’ve seen.

Tarris Reed can do this any time he wants. 20 points, 11 rebounds, 6 blocks. Absolutely dominated the matchup with Zuby

Karaban missed a few threes trying to run it up at the end. But I thought he had a great game on both ends

Oziyah Sellers and Dillon Mitchell: 70 minutes, 4 points. Dwayne Koroma: 3 minutes, 4 points

THAT WAS FUN!!!!

complaining about Karaban missing a few threes. What is wrong with some of you.

Best game by Reed and set the table early on.

Love beating St. John's and Pitino

 

[Waquoit]

Last two games UConn stuffed the 2nd and 3rd best BE teams in their locker. The same locker.

 

[HCCForever]

Great dominating performance. Hartford sounded loud on the TV. Loved that slam by Mullins after steal by Silas

 

[Mr. French]

Defensive rotations, rebounding and intensity.

 

[Dove]

Can I have some more, please?

 

[HuskyHawk]

That was nuts. The best this team has executed on both sides of the ball all year. Reed’s help defense was vastly better than it has been. Defensive rebounding was much improved. The movement on offense was great except for that lull before the half. This was a glimpse of what this team can be.

 

[Robrio89]

What St John’s deserved for thinking they own the East

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I'm curious if Ruff has jumped on the UConn bandwagon?

 

[TRest]

Probably had our most dunks in a single game this year. Guys were after it.
