That one was for all the drama queens of the BY!!!

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.

So....

Our Ken Pom Defense and Offence...

Both go up a little?

 

[Nameless]

These past 2 games have really renewed my faith in this team. It's not just the large margins of victory against good teams. It's the effort, intensity and the fact they just collectively look like they have their swag back. Tonight's performance was just awesome and so much fun to watch.

This is the type of dominant performance I've been waiting for. 0-24, lmao.

Last two games-Nova/St J- best two back -to-back games all year. Team is playing to their potential- Tough D /sharing the ball.

Tarris is dominating- Took Zuby to school- Best game of his UConn career.

Next

I'll take it.

Well, you kinda have to. No?

Historic beatdown. Holy crap.

Ejiofor hit a driving layup with 17:28 left 2nd half to cut it to 45-31. That was St. John's last FG of the game.

Props all around to UConn on both ends of the court. They were dominant in every way.

 

[phillionaire]

St. John’s was in hell the whole game

 

[Dibbie]

I almost feel sorry for SJU.

Damn you. I vomited in my mouth when you said this in the game chat, and just made me do it again.

 

[PAHusky]

That was incredible. I’ve got nothing to add to this thread. Just don’t want to be one of those jabronis who only shows up to kvetch after losses so here we are

Has to be one of the more satisfying regular season wins in a long time. I don’t know where they found this defense but if it stays at this level just wow

 

[TheHorde]

Meh I’ve seen better. /s

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Alex and Tarris I owe you an apology

 

[jibsey]

OK so this show the defense this team is capable of. St. John’s is #15 and beating down BE teams often. This is THE defense. I hope Hurley can keep it going. Honestly looked dominant like the 24’ team. And Reed is the key. Now he knows.

 

[ninety-nine]

given creighton is better than Providence wouldn’t UConn have tie breaker

No, it goes by strength of victory. Two wins over Creighton count more than two wins over Providence.

 

[nycscooby]

Holy is all I can say!!!!

 

[KingAG]

How did we ever overcome that athleticism? Thank God these "we can't beat St Johns" takes can die here.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Well, that was fun. Watching Pitino fume about his team’s play was almost as much fun as watching our D.

Now put the same hurt on Seton Hall.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Tarris Reed!!!!!!!

 

[HailUConn]

Statement game from champs! We are back and turned that corner!!!

 

[Edward Sargent]

Something really off with the Johnnies tonight 15 minutes without a field goal? Ejiofor pulled early after 1 foul (yeah we didnt have an answer for Prey) he Mitchell and Hopkins with 14 points? Something fishy. Pitino had no control over the team tonight. Danny on the other hand turned on the lights for us

 

[housekeys]

Muggers got mugged and watch them and their fans cry about it. LOL.

Hard to win when the FTA difference is normal? Right John'ies?

 

[RuffRuff]

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.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

 

[storrsroars]

I feel for Stew.
