Connecticut (MSG), Sat., Feb. 25, 12 Noon, CBS

Father Shanley, a decisive man, sitting behind the team bench, knows what should be done; hopefully he finds the funds to do it.

 

[Delaware]

Pukon bench very productive today.

 

[espken]

How did SJU beat UConn this year ?

Sometimes hero ball works, just not for long term success.

 

[ctstorm]

Guess I won't be parading around town in my SJU gear tomorrow.

 

[redmanwest]

UConn toyed with us most of the second held. Never in doubt. Disappointing.

 

[firestorm]

Kids put in the effort. No complaints there. but this is third time this season a team should have put up 100 on us. That ain't right!

 

[gregbodkin]

I'm at a children's birthday party.
The pizza is horrible.
Anyway, we losing?

Yes. The game was over before it started.

I know. That's tough to do in CT after we lose to Pukon. The Pukon fans are pretty classless in that regard.

 

[gregbodkin]

Embarrassing, just plain embarrassing!

 

[Amaseinyourface]

God bless all the Johnny fans in msg today.

That game never felt within reach once uconn got up 8-10 points. No identity except for being a poor team.

 

[gregbodkin]

The season can't end soon enough!

I'm sure it's bad in Fairfield,, but try being 5 miles from campus.

Kids play hard, it’s the NBA2K playbook that hinders them.

I can only imagine!

 

[sjc88]

Well, no surprise here.

 

[Andrew]

14 to 3 on the three point shots is hard to overcome.

 

[mjmaherjr]

I’m soooooooooo ready for a new coach

 

[GardenCity62]

For SJU to make 14 threes they would have to take 50.

 

[fan5577]

Very discouraging and listening to all the talking heads on TV does not make it sound any better. After the G'town win all they talked about was how a storied program like G'town needs to get better and how they can do it. No mention of St. Johns and their needs or program. Even now articles about what a bad job the St. Johns gig would be; "dilapidated campus", terrible facilities, can't keep talent home. Horrible to see how irrelevant this program has become. The only bright spot might be that Shanley has seen what a winning program can do for a school and it's facilities. We need to hit a home run with the next coaching hire but listening to the "talking heads" it would have to be a mid major coach who can succeed; no way we land a Patino,

Didn’t watch the game as my son is visiting but by the look if the score, looks like another lousy defensive effort by the team via Anderson and staff.
