Connecticut (MSG), Sat., Feb. 3, 12 NOON, FOX

OK, the sky isn't falling. Come off the ledge. I am disappointed too and wish things were different. BUT, this was the #1 team in the nation who happens to be defending national champs. Not saying all that happened is OK, but...

Marillac's observation of an open Dunlap several times in the corner only to be ignored frustrated me. Isn't that what the kid is in there for?

I will leave off with this...a text message from a guy I coach with who knows the game well and is a casual St. John's fan: "Watched the game and man did they stay with them, mostly. Really good team."

We need to step back a little and relax. Just the opinion of this 40+ year fan! On to the next game.
Expecting Coach to erase 30 years of malfeasance in under 12 months is unrealistic. We have a talent deficiency not a coaching one. I promised myself I would be patient. Getting difficult but hanging in there.
 
I am not going to cite stats
I am: 3 for 7 from three - rest of team 1 for 7 ( 2 misses in the last 24 seconds garbage time) 3 for 5 when it mattered; 6 for 7 fts - rest of team 8 for 14; 6 assists only 2 turnovers - rest of team 8 assists 8 turnovers; 3 steals - rest of team 5 steals. However, have you heard the scoop? He actually causes and is responsible for the poor play of teammates! You could not make this stuff up if you tried. Oh yeah, since he forgot to walk on water in Cincinnati, they made him drive the bus back to Queens today as punishment.

Certainly disappointing to lose a game we led at the half and had opportunities to keep competitive, but losing to the #1 team today is no reason to write off the season.

Let’s beat DePaul on Tuesday, take a breath and get ready for Marquette and our last 8 Big East games.

We still have a hell of a lot to play for.
 
I hate them and their fans, they’re horrendous ppl I refuse to place when it comes to work and hope they’re dealt with the Gambino way pre 89 let’s keep it at that! I mean Storrs folks not my chick from Stamford!
 
Dingle most disappointing player this year. Luis far and away the most frustrating player. Dunlap isn’t ready for this level yet.

Bottom line is this is an average team. Was hoping for a good team.
We all were. On the flip side, average is an improvement from the past few years. And there are reasons to believe decent is not far off.
 
I hope Hurley and his buddies enjoy. He knows this will not happy anymore with there scumbag fans coming into MSG not going happen next yr!
Pitino said on Red Storm Report that UCONN fans will always find a way to have a big presence at MSG
