St. John's Post Game Thread

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?

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.

I feel for Stew.

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

 

[KingAG]

Hurley owns Pitino

 

[Umami Zen]

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

 

[UCann]

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

 

[ctbro1999]

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.

 

[housekeys]

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 !

 

[blkknight1]

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

[Palatine]

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.
