one of the most enjoyable games in a very long time. next
Or giant balls!
Smith coming alive down the stretch was huge for us going forward
I could not get a "we want U Conn" chant going in the stairs or at the exits. Not for lack of trying
What an atmosphere!!! Last year was embarrassing the crowd. This year itâs remarkable the difference. Big. Loud. Love it!!!!
And for all those who say what if we play like that against so and so. And so and so. Well. We shot under 20% from 3. Under 40% from 2. And 54% from the foul line and beat one of those what if you play like that against that team!!!!!
Defense!!!!!! Offensive rebounding!!!!

If you look at this game, you scratch your head. Our foul shooting was awful, our guard play other then Kadary and Smith in the last 5 minutes was non contributory, some decisions were poor yet we beat a top 15 team. A testament to the amazing defense, offensive boards and will to win. 
Well yea sim had to come out with 4 and smith happened to find his game right after that.
My credit goes to smith more than Rick for that, cause smith stepped up when he had to be out there, and made Rickâs choice to leave him in an easy one
I heard a few of those chants as we were leaving.

Especially for an all SJU crowd. Keep this up and we'll be selling out MSG without the help of the away teams.
Their foul shooting wasnât much better nor was their guard play.If you look at this game, you scratch your head.

Defense wins championships and thatâs what we put on them today. They had to feel they were playing 5 on 10 on some possessions.

How about âill timedâ? I give Zuby lots of credit in thus one his offensive boards work was stellar. But to your point about him playing the entire half, can you acknowledge that our depth is minimal?
This is the ONLY thing that makes me miss New York. I wish I was there back in 111.
He needs to explain Vince then. It makes no sense when Prey can guard anyone competently.
LMF just hugged Shaka, thanking him for being outcoached
