St. John's Post Game Thread

We shall see - many rely on this theory like a pacifier, all because of the 2023 team. Well that was a very different team.
Nah, just seeing the OOC games this year, you know when we beat 2 Final Four contenders, plus a dangerous team in BYU and barely losing to number 2. That’s what I am relying on, backed by the history of this team over the last 3 years out of conference and in the tournament.
 
That to me defined the night. What the hell did he think Reibe was gonna do with the ball. This from our supposedly smartest, 4 plus year player??
The only thing I can think of is that it was a designed press break and Alex was supposed to sprint up for a longer outlet pass and Reibe did a one-touch instead, so I’ll give Alex the benefit of the doubt, but stuff like that in championship games just can’t happen regardless of who’s fault it is

Why in the world would he have done that? Seriously, you just inbounded. In the corner. To a freshman. Center. Against thee press team. Why the fuck weren’t you ready to get that ball right back.
 
Sheeeeyit. Was out with Mrs Dove looking forward to a Sunday morning watch. It must have been excruciating.

I still think there is an NCAA run coming. Final 8 at least.

You didn’t watch the Big East Championship in a rematch with St John’s?!
 
Or ya know, this year? I recall us only losing once OOC to the number 1 team without two starters. But sure, call us babies.
Cannot hold onto this anymore.
Could be. I believe if they get passed round 1, it’s an elite 8 at a minimum We tend to play down and a scrappy 14 might be a tougher out than a 2nd or sweet 16 game for this team
We didn't play up tonight.

Liam was not drafted in the first round.

Funny how we lost 8 games that year and were a 4 seed. I don’t recall 15 pages and counting on how bad we suck and have no tournament potential.
My man were you on the BY at that time? The posts were insufferable. There were 6+ pages of Dan Hurley needs to be let go

“Looks at profile” joined after second championship. Okay makes sense

I was just a lurker then haha, I guess that further proves my point about how overreaction prone and incorrect the tenor of this board is after any adversity
 
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
I think you’ve blocked out the first two years
 
We were not a 1 if we won and we are not a 1 now. What changed??
Not much. I still thnk UConn ends up a 2.

Not winning the BE is a big disappointment but the main prize is still the NCAA tourney. Burn the tape & move on Hope the team’s healthy. This team is still very capable of making a deep run.
 
Hurley believes our team will thrive out of the BE, he talks about it constantly. He dug at St. John’s in the postgame indicating their pushing and thug play would not be tolerated in the tourney. He didn’t phrase it that way but he knows more about basketball than we all do so we’ll see.

It goes against your point, you’re literally saying people werent doing it then and are now.

My broader point I’ve been making all night is that this board is freaking out. Read something else I’ve said and get back to me.
 
That was a sobering experience. Time to reset expectations and just enjoy whatever run that can muster in the tournament
I’m sure that this take will be not popular but finishing 31-6 and making it to the sweet 16 is actually an excellent result and where this teams likely seems to be headed
 
Pretty sure there was a classic “Fire Hurley”

If you keep zooming out you’ll always be right no matter how many times you’re proven wrong

Have to say I finally agree w you on something. Seems like he’d be tossed around like a rag doll in the NBA. There is talent there but he needs more work to refi e.
Have you watched the NBA lately? He won’t get touched if he’s a perimeter guy. This game will probably the most physical for the rest of his career 😂
 
Finally calmed down enough to post. That was God awful. Piss poor. Terrible. Dreadful. Embarrassing. And any other negative word you want to throw out there.

Someone may have already asked, but when was the last time the Huskies scored 52 points or less? I'm at a loss for words over how bad that was.
 
The DNA line better live up to it's rep this year - we can retire it if they don't make a decent run this year.

I’m sick of hearing it at this point, I believe in Hurley, but I think he needs a full reset on expectations/roster construction. Not every team needs to be an oversimplified rendition of 2024.

Fans definitely overreact but to be fair Hurley was mouthing “we suck” on the court early in the game tonight. So either it’s not an overreaction to just this game, Hurley is overreacting too, or some are overreacting thinking this result will apply to non Big East games.

I'd call that a disappointment - you should always hope to live up to your seeding, which is the Elite 8. We lose there, our accomplishment was beating a 7 seed. Not what I'd call a gratifying season as a preseason top 5 team.

I just want to see what Hurley is made of in this one. It's a flawed team he put together with some kind of plan in mind. Many of us have been calling this a pack of genius'. Now we are all hoping non BE refs open things up. Maybe in his head he thinks he's building for the big dance and we should trust it. He flames out, that trust is waning. And I'd hope he'd be smart enough to really put pen to paper on the roster this go, versus holding on for dear life to old parts that don't really work that well.

Yeah, on the DNA stuff, the B2B jargon needs to get killed after this year unless they actually win something. I'm pretty sick of the schtick myself.
