St. John's Post Game Thread

I don’t want to hear another damn word about seedlings, about titles, or about being an elite team. We are talented. We are not elite. We are a good team. We are not a title contender. We don’t have an alpha. This team with AJ looks different. This team with Cam looks different. Shit this team with TN looks different. I am so freaking disappointed, not with the loss, but with how piss poor we looked. How it was obvious to a lay person that the opponent was playing harder than us. I cannot abide by that. I don’t mind losing. I hate losing when we are out hustled and out hearted.

 

[Brochacho]

Better team won.

 

[JMick]

This obviously isnt even close to the worst team we've had under Hurley but I think it's the least enjoyable to watch. It's torture. Something is so off about them

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

I said this previously - Get ready, every team we face now will constantly pressure us and force us away from the basket. We might not get out of the first weekend.

If Silas is out or hobbled it will be a short tourney. Love all our guys but Malach has really struggled this year. Would be nervous against the 15 seed without Demary. This game has been "Men in Blacked" out of my memory for my own health, especially Gus and Jimmy.

 

[Horatio]

Not worried, but I questioned if we were deep enough for a three day tournament.

 

[Chonky]

I know this sucks, but it's literally the same team that boatraced SJU a few games ago, it's not the team construction.

Or Maybe…..
St John’s just came out flat and wasn’t gonna beat anyone that day. And we just took advantage.

 

[MJKI]

Alex has no business inbounding the ball. If I see him pass the ball to the ref and let the defense get set on the press one more time I will not have a television

 

[2014DualCs]

I get the first half was awful, we fought 2H and tried to make it a game, but what I dislike about this team most is that they gave up once it was out of reach.

Dog mentality is missing…

 

[my2cents]

We missed so many shots at the rim. You have to dunk those shots. Rebounding and 3 point shooting was terrible.
Also. Demary can't in bound the ball.

 

[boog204]

Tarris played his testiculos off, so major props to him. He competed without looking scared. Can't say that for many others.

We are always going to struggle against athletic teams, and their 2, 3, and 4 absolutely outplayed ours on both sides of the court.

I still believe we can beat just about anyone, but it's more about matchups.

We have one guy who can handle the ball and create offense. One.

We will need major upgrades athletically to this roster, especially at the 4 and 5.

Sending a search and rescue team for solo ball

When they find him ask where the other guys are

 

[lateralous]

That was a sobering experience. Time to reset expectations and just enjoy whatever run they can muster in the tournament

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Honestly if we had just lost id be fine but if we lost Silas then the season is done

 

[ZooCougar]

It was the fan’s fault.

 

[Conquistador]

We got punked!

 

[NCHusky91]

That possession where they had 4 chances and missed them all was the death blow.

 

[Husk1esB2B]

hurley got to do some homework and see if this team can actually hit 3s. like just do a 3pt test see whats their % are. you cant just blindly rely on guys shoot 3, its not like recruit bunch of short guys and expect every short guys able to shoot 3

 

[Palatine]

Don't put much stock in this game. It wasn't our night. They sped us up in the first half. Not our game.

If you want a faster pace, we can't play a good team at a faster pace. It exposes all our weakness and we get sloppy.

All that matters is the NCAA. I would bet that we go further than SJU in the tourney.

 

[3rdbass]

I'm just worried for Demary's health now. We knew we had worts but that was ugly.

 

[EastConn'er]

I doubt we win a game in the NCAA. Secret is out... apply any kind of athletic pressure, we melt. Our guards can't get by anyone & can't hit shots even when open

 

[jibsey]

Let’s not run this team down, that’s all I ask.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Better pray we get lucky with the draw tomorrow. There's multiple 13-15 seeds who I figure would beat us. Some handily. Pray we don't get Furman

 

[RitzLuce1]

Excruciating. And no amount of gaslighting from the Pom Pom brigade can change the way it feels watching them.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Yeah the secret is out. Team is soft, only Reed can stand up to any physicality, the guards wings and backup big get overwhelmed against it. That second game against them couldn’t have been more of a fluke.
