St. John's Post Game Thread

[DogMania]

Don't have a stomach to follow all of this.

SJ made plays from the jump and jumped out to a big lead. Our guys couldn't match their play.

That allowed the Johnies to build a ton of confidence and play agressively and with energy.

Got it down to 7 late, had a few squanders that shifted the momentum back to them.

Zuby was outstanding. Reed was good and bad. SJ was the better team tonight.

Turn the page, hope that Demary is okay and get ready for the next challenge.

 

[uh-no]

Why would any UConn fan give up all hope like that... I guess you don't remember 2014, when they lost to Louisville in the season finale by 30+

ain't nobody on this team got the tenacity of bazz

 

[prankster]

What are these "smoke other butts"?

I think it means that you change cigarette brands.

 

[CaptainRon]

This game just doesn’t matter for anything next week.

Wipe the slate clean and now we get to play real basketball instead of Big East trash.

Will be nice to get to run an offense without getting mauled for 40 minutes while the stripes swallow their whistles.

It absolutely does. We are going to have to play a tougher match up now than we would as a one.

 

[Avon]

Pretty easy solution. Stop watching them. You don’t deserve to

Awww

Does anyone on this board who has been a Uconn fan for 35 plus year really think this team can win it? I mean I hope they do, but come on man, all these posts. If you watch and know what has won us nattys this ain't it...no matter matchups..may make a run a few rounds , but SAPs don't win nattys

Who thought we could win it as a 7 seed?

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.

Time to break it all up. The majority of the roster, th formula, the offense, the staff etc. it’s stale and solved. We need to evolve. 2023-24 doesn’t work anymore. Our lack of athleticism from 1-5 is astounding.
If you told me before the season, a month ago, two weeks ago that the only player I want to see moving forward is Jaylen Ross, I would have laughed at you. I do now. (Assuming Braylon is gone)

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

I'm not overly negative, but this team is definitely giving me 2006 vibes too. Talented, flawed and distracted.

Maybe stop calling college kids SAPs? Pretty sure this team is more talented than 2014. You’re a grown man, stop calling kids SAPs.

Those squanders at 7 killed us.

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.

Not every team plays suffocating D like St. John’s.

 

[BFieldHusky]

This is all that matters now.

St. John's is not a good matchup for us. And if we shoot 3/19 from 3, we aren't beating anyone. Look at Marquette next week.

It's a new season now. Get Silas and Stewart healthy this week. Onto Philly...

 

[Chonky]

Never know if an ankle sprain is mild until the next day.

 

[Palatine]

34% from the field. 16% from three.

The game still means very little. The BE is not the NCAA and that is all that matters.

 

[prankster]

Time for Hurley to stop acting like a petulant child

I do not.agree with you that that was the problem tonight.

 

[Hi-Low]

Did anyone else see this early in the game..... SJU was off to a big lead and the TV camera caught Hurley crouching on the sideline and mouthing the words "we suck" to someone off-camera....we certainly did tonight.

 

[jorge34]

“If Mullins comes back” should not even be a phrase uttered anymore. They is NO CHANCE Mullins comes back, he is a sure thing first round pick, close to a high lottery pick. The delusion must end.

 

[Fishy]

Someone has to tell Braylon that he's NOT NBA ready, yet.

He is so, so, so far from being an NBA player.

Maybe he will be at some point, but there’s not one part of his game that you would consider elite right now. He’s a good shooter, but past that….what does he do?

 

[jdb50]

Hurley does not make adjustments. And him putting Silas back in was moronic.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Not every team plays suffocating D like St. John’s.

We’re not going to play a defense like this again. It’s not possible in the NCAAT. Even STJ won’t play a defensive game like this again this year.

 

[gsmooth]

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

Yup. 2 of the 4 misses were open 3s missed by Mullins and Ball. Ball had so much time to shoot his with no one within 10 feet of him. If any of those 3s go down, we are looking at a 7 pt deficit with real game pressure on St John's and the Garden rocking.

 

[Bongo Fury]

Seem to remember losing to Louisville 3x in a season and winning a natty. Pitino knows how to beat UConn. Miss Tristen.

 

[ArizonaHsky]

Don’t care about anything other than Silas being ok!!🙏

Even the postgame didnt mention anything about Silas injury, bad job by these announcers

 

[deedougie]

I'm not overly negative, but this team is definitely giving me 2006 vibes too. Talented, flawed and distracted.

That's a good comparison. All season long, I was expecting a 'switch' to be turned on. Haven't seen it happen yet.

 

[RashadRay11]

I honestly can’t wait to quote so many of these posters next week.
