One more thing. This is the best defense I have seen since the 84 Bears.

I have another observation. I realized what makes this team so tough n Pitino so brilliant. We are big. We switch on defense seamlessly. It's so great to be the team that discombobulates the other team. Who wants to play this. Look very forward to next week's games that will define us.

I’ve never seen such defense! Here’s hoping for an undefeated March.

What is up team!? Shout out to the Brothers Not So Grim!

Rueben Prey is a difference maker on defense. He guards 1 - 5 as a Freshman! 1st half was almost perfect. 2nd half very sloppy. But defense travels and is what's going to make us run deep into the tournament. Think about this. We scored 47 first half points. With our defense, we didn't need to score at all in the 2nd half.

I've been a fan for 40 years and Iam loving all these shows talking about the Johnnies!!!

Great show again, guys. Good insightful comments. I’m kinda like Cole in that my years, or decades, of rooting for St. John’s makes me wonder when the other shoe is gonna drop. But this year seems different and special. I don’t remember when I’ve been this excited on every game day. Let’s Go Johnnies!

Don't ask why but as well as the Johnnies I am a Minnesota Vikings fan. So I am quite used to my teams flaming out to lesser teams. I was so depressed last night that I paused the game with 9 minutes left down by 9 n went to work depressed n muttering to myself. So mad that after finally being ranked we put this effort out. When I got home I got ready to watch the rest n then I got a notification from your channel which I didn't want to see. But for some reason I thought they might come back. Sure enough they did. As q Vikings fan let me say that if they had one tenth of the heart of this team we'd be winning super bowls. Ive never seen a team come back from 16 without a 3 pointer. I've never rooted for a team with this much heart. Wow.

The way this season is going Cole is going to be starting motivational seminars on the power of optimism come March madness

Lets go!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved your comments. Was wondering what the deal was with Glover. I wish RJ was a little less selfish - his turnovers today almost cost the game. Thanks for enhancing a special comeback!

The only guarantees in life are death, taxes and Rick Pitino making some crazy half time adjustments to pull Victory from the jaws of Defeat

One more thing. I thoroughly enjoyed this game n wanted them to win by 40. Hard to forget that 29-0 run they smacked us with last season.

Have to make an observation. I have been very pleased with the refs in our games not calling ticky tack fouls n allowing us to be aggressive. We have the size n depth to go very far. Hopefully they let us in this time

Another great podcast Pat ad Cole! You guys are the best! What fun it is to see us in first place all by ourselves, isn't it? And you're right. Our fan base is growing! And we need to kee it growing.

# 1. 😱👏👏🦾

Nice job as always. ? For u. Tremendous second half team and hitting the offensive glass. Any of this aside from talent attributed to the strength coach / program? Just relentless and wearing the opponents down

Pat, i gotta get your varsity and jv out to Westhampton Beach HS for game or scrimmage next season.

Super level of respect for Coach Pitino letting everyone know Coach Holloway is a tremendous coach but doesn't have the NIL support. It's not an even level playing field.

Made majority of his passes with his left hand. Keep him out to avoid any serious injury.

Great job Pat and CL 🔥🎙🏀🎙🔥 JOHNNIE'S in first place great to see. I honestly believe Johnnie's are a top 15 if not top 10 team in the country.

Hello boys. I found you again. It's 1 am in Arizona. This is after Georgetown comeback. What a ride. What a team. Hard to believe Kadary has held us back. Expected more at the foul line . Can't wait for Dunlap to come back. Love it!!

Love it guys, you're the best! Love the effort from this team and they are learning how to win in close games. Can't be mad at a team for shooting when they are working this hard. Let's keep it going!

Vs down baby //\\

Amazing that our Johnnie's shot 5% from 3pt land and won by 8pts. Xavier will be tough to beat on the road.

Astonishing that a team can shoot 1-21 from the 3 and win. Still hoping they can gel and become a special team. The talent is there, the execution nit so much.

Shout out to the brothers not so grim!! Box out dammit!

Another great analysis, Pat. Yes, it wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win is a win. And this was usually the kind of loss we would experience!

You are spot on Pat! Glover's 3 was the biggest moment of the game for me, he has been relentless in his few minutes this year. And like you said, I love Vince's effort, but he is not ready yet for the minutes he is getting and Prey breaking out. Prey may be my favorite player rn, so composed and I never seen a big man get so low in a defensive stance against a guard. Even his missed free throws I felt were more unlucky than nerves. If Wilcher can learn to be more of a facilitator and go strong to the rim (like Smith) when his shot is not falling that would be a huge step for him. Love his growth so far, just want him to become more of a positive impact kinda like Scott when they are off their game. Very happy with the win, and I had a feeling we were going to win despite being down big in the 1st half (which has not happened in years). This team, despite driving me nuts at times like a typical St.John's team, feels different. The effort is there and they seem to play more as a team compared to other years. Thanks for letting me rant as always Pat!

Love this podcast!

Excellent breakdown of the game, Pat. So glad we escaped with a W, despite 42% from the line and terrible shooting from Sim and Scott. Would like to see more of Prey and Glover!

They came back tonight against Providence, great win!

I've been an SJU fan since '76 and I'm loving how they're playing, represent guys! 😊

St. John's only made 3 3pointers against DePaul and still scored 89pts. I understand the 3pt shooting concerns but I'm old school screw 3pt analytics and keeping piling on 2pters. St. John's plays to their strength

Great job done Cole and guest host Sean. 🔥🎙🏀🎙🔥

Solid end to end win. Dare we hope this is finally our year?

U guys STILL need to not worry about Pitino’s reputation OR ego! Pitino is NOT a good in-game coach AND, his substitution abilities are NON-EXISTENT. There are no rhyme or reasons for his substitution choices. Kudos to u both regarding ur Zuby comments--he is BY FAR St John’s top player and could evolve into a 9th or 10th man on an NBA squad. He brings energy, hustle and intellect to the court and he’s got GREAT hands. He needs work but I can see him getting drafted in 6/26. Zuby is the best and most important player followed by the unsung Scott, Smith and either Luis or Witcher. Richmond STINKS! He shouldn’t be in the floor. No way he should be taking away mins from Smith or Witcher. He’s the most overrated athlete since Ron Bloomberg! Luis has great potential but he is not a smart player. Like Richmond, he forces WAY too many drives to the hoop and, for some reason, refuses to dish to the corner for wide open 3s. He missed Dunlap 3-4 times last night. All in all, the Redmen look impressive. I believe they can be a 3-seed come March Madness.

Cole the analytics don't say all 2 point shots are not favored . What is favored is 3s or shots at the rim. The ones to avoid are the mid to long range 2s and Pitino just said that is what they have been practicing so Rick is going against analytics.

It's crazy to me that basketball analytics today see 3pt shot better than 2pt shot smfh. I will use the 3pt shot within offense, but give me the higher percentage 2pt shot any day

Finally 1:04

Optimistic Cole > Pessimistic Cole

loved Coach Lou C., grew up watching his teams at St Johns and the Nets!

I’m surprised we haven’t gotten one comment on me and Pat wearing the same exact hoodie.

RIP Sweet Lou

Awesome episode from the boys. Deivon minutes are puzzling as he’s a stud. Loved the twin towers lineup in the Baylor game. Worried about bubble watch. Simeon is the blueprint for glover, he will be brought along slowly

Great podcast guys. Defensively our Johnnie's have to do better with getting stops, offensively Johnnie's need to value the ball limit turnovers, bettter shot selection is important, player egos need to be checked, players need to make sacrifice for the greater goals of the team.

Hey guys. Another great breakdown of what sounded to me like a poorly played game. I don’t get CBSSN so couldn’t watch any of the games. But do you think Kadary is injured? I know you said the style of play now is different for him but to see such a difference in his play from last year just makes me think something may be off with him health wise. I agree that I’m still optimistic about this year but this loss does set us back a bit,unless we beat some of the top tier BE teams during the regular season. Enjoy the break! Happy Turkey Day to you and your families.

Not surprisingly, (once AGAIN!) u guys COMPLETELY miss the point regarding ur St John's analysis. Yes they committed a great many turnovers; yes, they missed an inordinate amount of free throws and, yes, they made many foolish on-court decisions. BUT, so did Baylor! One needs to be reminded that these players are kids---they get a pass in my book for all their basketball sins. The person who does not get a pass is Pitino!! Once again, he proves that his coaching 'greatness' is nothing but a myth. First off, HOW could he keep Richmond in the game so long? That kid is a turnover machine---I broke an abacus while totaling his horrific miscues. I thought this guy was a great player---he is proving otherwise. Does Pitino really think this kid is an NBA-talent? GOOD LORD! Richmond has been an absolute flop thus far. The team is far better off with Wilcher on the floor. I am a MUCH better shooter than Richmond. He looks miserable, even on the free throw line. Furthermore, EVERY JV high school coach knows that if u have the ball with 6.5-seconds left and enjoy a 2-point lead, u put your BEST free throw shooters on the floor for the inbounds pass. WHAT the HELL was Zuby doing on the floor, at that point in the game? He missed the 2-free throws but Pitino was the reason the Redmen lost the game. Pitino continues to (negatively) astound with his lack of game-management 'skills'.He is seriously challenged in this vital part of the game. Lastly, I wonder where Pitino will lay the blame for this loss. We already know that he completely absolves himself of any blame (based on his impish behavior during last season). Pitino cares about ONE thing: PITINO! Overrated is the only word that comes to mind for this self-proclaimed demigod ,d

The only good about losing like this in the Bahamas is you’re still in the Bahamas. Kudos to the SJU fans who made the trip. Bummer for us poor saps still going to work tomorrow during sweater weather

Great job as always guys! Wish you were not shadowbanned because the whole fanbase should be watching you guys. I am just happy we won an important out-of-conference game. As a fan since 2019, I do not remember having an early-season clutch win like this one (only that one game against WVU lol). It feels good and hope it keeps going this week. Excited to see this team keep coming together, this year feels different. Feels less chaotic and more organized than any beginning of the season I have seen. Hopefully it stays that way in the Bahamas
