uconn got destroyed, makes you put more context to our game huh?
Our offense was better than UConn's against that buzzsaw called the Red Storm.
Definitely. Looked like UConn went through the wringer the last 3 days and SJU looked as fresh as they came off a bye week. I expected the complete opposite
This is the first time I wanted St. John's to win anything. Much respect to their team, especially Zuby, and Pitino's comments about SHU and Sha seemed genuine and are appreciated.
Wow. I posted a week or so ago that I thought UCONN’s perimeter play was wearing down late in the season. They looked awful tonight. Hope Danny rallies them for the NCAAT. And yes, SHU gave SJ their toughest game. But SJ still beat us by 10.
The St. John's fanbase has been cockily discussing that as if it's a foregone conclusion.
Hines would never play for Pitino. All his centers are athletic and fast. Can switch on defense. Zuby and Gorgui.
He had to keep Soriano because he needed to fill a roster 1st year but even he was too slow.

St. John’s put on one of the best Defensive performances I’ve ever seen last night. Pitino is a master for getting everything out of his teams; can’t bet against that guy especially when he’s seeing a team for a third time. And Ejufor is of course a Beast. I didn’t think he was NBA worthy, but have changed my mind. Could see him going late 1st round to a team that will use his strengths.
Pitino is a master. There's no doubt about that. We all know this. Ejiofor, Hopkins, and Mitchell is an absolute freaking nightmare. What they've done in the BE since he took over is remarkable. I was at The Garden last night and it's incredible how St. John's went from dormant to what I saw there. But hey, so far it's only 1 NCAAT win in 3 seasons. 
What's all this oddity about his contract extension? Does he want the challenge of trying to do this in the SEC or BIG12 or something?

Since his meltdown against us when he said they have ****** facilities and no lateral quickness, he has gone 41-4 in regular season and 7-1 in BET. It is just amazing. He certainly has benefitted from NIL money, but they guy is just amazing. Counting down his days til retirement.
He is going to sign extension within the next few weeks. Only hold up is Massiello’s role post his retirement
Maybe Jr. follows dad? If it is Massiello, strikes me as stop gap: similar to Brian Maloney after Looie.
By ten yes, but made 6 from intentional fouls...not that they couldn't have scored 6 anyway....but could have been less.
I thought UConn had an easier semifinal and SJU might be the tired team on Saturday night. I couldn't have been more wrong. But lucky for Danny his guys are done playing 3 games in 3 nights. For the sake of the conference, hope they're ready to go.
I disagree with he'd never come here. I wanted him over Sha. The guy was stuck in Iona and what would've happened if Mike Anderson's team clicked in 2022-2023. Does anyone really think in 2022 Pitino was willing to take that risk? I'm not looking to have a beer or Italian dinner with the guy, but he would navigate this sleezy world better than anyone. He probably would've pissed a lot of the good ole boys off, but he wouldn't accept 4 years of no tournament games.
Would much rather hear we called and he didn't pick up than your guess. That's the right business thing to do.
I still dont want to touch him and the BE should be embarassed with SJ hiring the quick tablescrewer and XU hiring the biggest cheater in college hoops. Oh well, maybe this is just foregiving, like Jesus would do...
