Johnnie’s brick fest

It's amazing. Even we would have made at least one of these layups they've missed. No more than that, but we def would have made one.

Steve Lapas is hard to listen to

Johnny’s aren’t going to out quick this team.

 

[hoopsupstate]

St. John’s is slowly adjusting to the pace of the game. This game shows us how much better we need to get especially at the point.

Don't think I've seen that before......watching Arkansas v. St. John's game
and they called a personal foul on a Made free throw!?!?!?

 

[hoopsupstate]

Terrible shot selection down the stretch by St. John’s. They’re settling for jumpers. Playing right into Arkansas hands. Poor discipline to end the half. Who’s coaching this team?

 

[Red Holzman]

Kudos to Pitino and staff for continuing to wear suit and tie in this era of casual pullovers.
Prob matters not to many, but IMO commands Respect vs "Dress Like A Fan".

 

[Cstate]

Awful shooting period. Both teams

You must really get a kick out of baseball managers and coaches.

 

[Ghost]

This is a master class on missing shots at the rim.

 

[Eric15]

This is going to be a very difficult game for the Johnnies to win.

 

[swish7]

Too many calls in this st John's ARKANSAS gane

 

[NineOneSeven]

I took St. John’s in my survivor over Wiscy and Tenn so you know they are losing. Sorry folks.

 

[MSOrange]

I didn't even consider the possibility St John's wouldn't make at least the Sweet 16

 

[Cuse99&01]

Foul fest!

 

[swish7]

This is a big boy game

 

[JustPherU]

Combined 4-32 from three

 

[Cuse99&01]

St John’s 3 starting guards are currently shooting 5-24

 

[690West]

I feel like every single game I watch I tell myself XYZ team would beat us by 30. Lol

 

[swish7]

Smart on St John's players to attack their chests & draws fouls

 

[swish7]

Laaaaame call. BS

 

[NineOneSeven]

Incredibly bad officiating

 

[djcon57]

Hideous call. Hideous

I have a feeling this is going to be a major unforeseen side effect of the NIL/Portal. Instead of these "underrated guys" at lower schools staying 4 years and then making magical runs in March they all transfer out before that happens.

The only way these teams have a chance is if they have a top-level coach. McNeese State - Drake - Colorado State etc. but at some point the talent will be too much for them as well but at least the coaching gives them a chance

Hopefully, the games get better as the tournament goes along as the teams become more evenly matched.

Well there's only so many spots at the top. Perhaps the mid majors might catch some former P4 players that got forced out.
