St Johns @ UCONN
- Thread starter TOMCATS1990

Always loved the press and then falling back into the matchup zone! These guys don’t press like those old Kentucky teams, though!
Gonna have to root for UCONN in this one. F pitino.
St Johns got RJ Luis back. Only his 2nd game this season. He's a really solid player. Any team takes them lightly will be looking at a tough matchup when they are fully healthy. Soriano in a lot of games will be the best big man on the floor.
Lmao I could never root for UConn, duke, Kansas or the cheats. Unless it helped UK.
Rough shooting early by St Johns or they would be up. Pitino changing up D’s trying to keep UCONN off balance. Love listening in on both Coaches in the timeouts
Lot of Pitino slurping going on…
Maybe I'm just used to watching UK, but both these teams look slooooowwwwwww. Could just be style of play, and I'm saying UK is better than UConn necessarily (yet), but these teams just look a half-step (or more) slower than UK.
Win or lose this game he is still the best coach in the game. If he had stayed at UK and had the talent we have had he would have 2-3 more times titles here
Sainthood is the next logical step for Pitino according to Gus Johnson.
What is this matchup zone you speak of? Does it work against the weave?
Does it help when you have guys consistently getting beaten off the dribble?
I mean I guess. Or you could call most of them facts. Lulz
I think UConn is in trouble tonight. Can this “juggernaut” lose two straight in conference games?
Boeheim's teams won over 1000 games and lost over 400 so I reckon sometimes it did and sometimes it didn't.
Is Gus Johnson dating Rick Pitino?
I think there’s some closet UConn fans on this board. Just an observation of mine.
I wish Pitino would’ve never left UK. Huge mistake on his part.
I made no statement on veracity. Just a lot of slurping.
They did however refer to him as a 2-time national championship coach. I get it… but really, given the circumstances of his vacated title, they might want to dial it back a bit.
Meh Cal has 6 Final Fours and Pitino has won 2 titles. In my book anyway.
Watching this game I see a lot of missed opportunities for open shots. Guys who had a man open in the corner or missed a chance to pass ahead in transition but instead keep the ball or keep it too long and end up turning it over or taking a bad shot. our guys would’ve made those passes. And that’s refreshing to know
There's no doubt about it that Pitino effed up leaving here. The man has even admitted as much. Hard to blame him, though. It's not like he went to an NBA team with little to no history of winning. Like with Kentucky he accepted the challenge of restoring greatness(even if it didnt work out) to programs that weren't what they were used to being. The money didn't hurt.
Just wish he would’ve scratched that itch before coming to UK. Could’ve had a damn dynasty here. Had a mini one, but it could’ve been soooo much better. 😑

Yep. Effing Celtics. I highly doubt he would have gone anywhere else during that time. Just god awful timing for us.
Would definitely trade that for more titles. That’s just me, though.
Checkout the new dye job on RP. Maybe he’s going to Rugheads stylist. 😆
The elephant in the room is we would have that vacated title and probation if he'd have stayed in Lexington. Otoh, NYC probably builds him a statue of whores, yes men and makes Porcini's a museum if it happens again.
