St. John's Post Game Thread

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

I mean part of it is the team construction. We’re streaky because we rely so much on the outside shot and when it’s not falling, we have literally one player that can reliably put the ball on the floor and beat his man. I’m guessing if you got a really candid take from Hurley, he’d admit that he gambled a little too much on jumps in play making ability from a decent chunk of the team. I do not expect he will gamble again this offseason.

Can we stop with all the NBA talk now ? Lotto pick blah blah blah. How about learn to inbound the ball and shoot frees. Baby steps.

 

[mussels]

Just tip your hat to the Jonnies. They came out with a chip on their shoulders and got it done.

On to the dance.

 

[Milo65]

No athleticism, 3 point shooting, and driving ability. No nba talent either. The one that will go looked like a middle school kid out there tonight. Going to be a busy off season. We will need a lot of help.

💯 percent!

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

There are no alpha's on this team- El-Amin, Hamilton, Okafor, Kemba, Shabazz, Clingan, Spencer, etc.. Thats what we need next year. Someone that thrives on the pressure.

 

[SYF75]

St johns should be a
#2 seed....NCAA is a different breed with matchups, officiating, but man that was bad. SAPs won't win a title

 

[3rdbass]

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

Yeah, and for everyone besides Reed to not show up for a big game is a head scratcher. Where are those "Ball is NBA player" posters now?

 

[Husk1esB2B]

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

agree

 

[How Sway?!]

Hard to win when you spot the opponents 10 points to start the game. The fact that we had 2 shots to claim a BE title and both times the team came out flat and uninterested is a bad look for Hurley.

 

[BFieldHusky]

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

I couldn't believe there was no update from the broadcast team, but Gus Johnson doesn't even know where he is. Joe Arruda on Twitter said he had to be helped off. Hoping he is ok.

 

[DogMania]

Props to the Johnies. They outplayed us on both ends. Got it down to 7. Reed missed that bunny and we never recovered.

The comeback attempt took a lot out of them.

Didn't help that we shot poorly from 3.

SJ never let them feel comfortable on offense. They knew our sets and Zuby was huge.

 

[CTRick74]

Deserve no higher than a 3 seed in the NCAA tournament!

 

[jibsey]

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.

We out rebounded them 38-30

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Not a good or memorable season. Losing the conference and tourney to saint johns is painful. This team might not be good enough to advance to the sweet 16. Hurley needs to reconsider how he builds his teams because we lack size athleticism and talent/ability. Good luck in the tourney.

 

[Huskyforlife]

This team will probably make it out of the first weekend, they won’t shoot this bad against overmatched first weekend opponents. But some physically talented team is gonna take their lunch eventually. Hope they prove me wrong.

E Tyson famously said: "Everybody has a plan, till they get punched in the face."

We got punched in the face.

When they ask.... tell them we came in second.

 

[Scoe]

Just tip our hats and call the Johnnies our daddies.

 

[bendm]

Solo and Mullins a combined 8 pts on 3/16 shooting. Both big disappointments this year and the fact that they are redundant with one another magnifies it.

If Mullins comes back then staff has to have a sit down with solo. They cannot play next to each other again.

 

[Fishy]

They are what I thought they were, but continue to argue about it.

Dan Hurley has not done them any favors by blowing smoke other butts all year.

 

[VUcommodore]

Reed is a monster.
Mullins is nowhere near ready to play in the NBA.
Pitino is a master. Best tactician in the game.

 

[2014DualCs]

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

Lmao get an actual grip on reality

 

[gsmooth]

Figured there would be some ridiculous comments coming. Time to reset and make sure NO BE teams are in our region. They'll be fine through the Sweet 16.

Only if Silas is healthy.

 

[deedougie]

SOFT

This team has just been frustrating to watch all season. They have the talent, but something is just off about them. Hard to see this team cutting down the next in Indy.

 

[RashadRay11]

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

This is true. Was there and that was the end of it.

 

[IndyLives]

Pathetic performance. Period. The team wasnt competitive tonight at all. Not getting either the BET or regular season BE Title is an epic fail given the expectations.

This team peaked in December. Same issues on both ends (especially offense) has been repeated but no solution. I just think we are limited with our players - everything has to break right for this team to go far against top competition. As far as Danny, easily his worst coaching job in his UConn tenure. Players & the team never developed at all.
