Best show you have done. Let’s go!!!!!!
Mark! Enjoy the game! You deserve to be there! Scream loud and proud!
Everytime Dan wears that hat, i am reminded of what they took from us. Bring back the happy Husky
Hello boys. I'm a big Johnnies fan. Much love n respect to you. Wanted Hurley as our coach before Anderson. Tell you what makes us tough. Our game travels. We're tall n switch seamlessly. We bludgeon teams which is far more satisfying to watch then 12 3 pointers. Truly a special year. Look forward to the test.
Coach Hurley needs to convince them they are underdogs!!
Mark- have Bernie give a little Pep Talk for the Boys & convince em it's a Road game & we need this game ! 😂 👊
Let's go Marky Mark! Tennessee tonight, St Johns tomorrow! 💪🏾
We winning both
UConn needs to match St Johns psychically with every possession. If they do that and nail 3’s then it should work out.
we dont have a single healthy PG..worried mostly about that especially w a physical defensive team like STJ
Bring the defense from the Marquette game and leave the 25 turnovers behind. Do that and UConn wins going away 🏀
UConn also needs to rebound the ball with tenacity and determination.
Up to Alex Karaban too- to get them running ! He said - " It's my Team." 🤔
Whew huh ?! Here we go ! Huskies put their " Big Boy Pants " on & imagine it's a Road game & Huskies Win ! 👊
I don’t necessarily disagree with this maybe being a tarris reed game but he HAS to play with the same sense of urgency that Samson has been playing with. Tarris has been very inconsistent defensively which has led to him getting limited minutes. Tarris has really struggled against bigs like kalkbrenner and other top centers in the big east and if he wants to play majority minutes then he can’t play soft and he has to make his free throws which is something that he’s really struggling with.
Im so sick of the hurley criticism. He doesnt have a problem the problem is that society has become softer than baby shit. Can you imagine the utter meltdown people would have if Bob KNight coached today?
UConn is in ! Beat two Top 10 teams- Gonzaga & Marquette. Beat then # 15 Baylor. Beat Texas @ Texas & Texas was 7-1 , preseason Top 25..... 🤔
Gonzaga isnt a top 10 team. The ranking at the end of the year is what matters, not what it was when Uconn played them
Whatever the players did to get that " 22 Point Lead Mindset " going.... like @Texas , @Georgetown & @Marquette ! Do that & we got this ! 👊
Great game, back and forth. St johns just were the better team
Gonna be a tough game down to the wire. My prediction UConn beats St.Johns 67-65. Ball 17 points, 7 rebounds. McNeely 11 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists.
My biggest concern is fouls and turnovers having a huge impact on this game.
I think just facing Marquette and having Liam back will go a long way to helping w the TO. The fouls I’m not concerned about due to their lack of a post presence. We have 10 to give w the bigs and can go small w Karaban at the 5.
Also, every team has us circled on their schedule and hopefully, they won't have a great shooting night. Like all our opponents, they play with great urgency to beat us.
Growth doesn't happen in comfort. Say that ish again. For sport and in life.
Like Zanetto said 42:00 “St John’s is overrated!” & “ the only real contenders are Duke & Auburn “
St John’s is like Houston, good team. But if you get hot you can win. UConn was up 26-10 with nothing from Karaban or Diarra.. Bad match up for UConn but I really don’t believe St John’s is a title
Contender
I need some lions, I need some dogs
I think going 5 and 4 in the rest of the way gets them in tho I’d be suprised if they struggle that much with mcneely
I stand by my opinion AK should not be going to the whole vs stronger opposition, the liability outweighs the advantage and investment.
Vs stronger opposition is the time to deploy the 2 big lineup of Johnson and Reid, disappointing not to see that if only for a few minutes per half.
38:10 UConn is -1.5 fyi
Not anymore they’re not 5 point favorites in some shops it could get ugly gents
UConn by double digits💪💪💪
@@KonstantinosTsirikos-pp6mi Oh wow crazy line movement! LFG!
Don’t care karaban sucks and this team is ass idc .. 20 turnovers t f Hassan is not a guard
I was coming here to say the same thing. AK is the worst preseason all American I’ve ever seen. 3 points again against top competition? He’s a softy man. It’s unfortunate because I was a big AK fan and expected him to go crazy this year. Instead he’s been god awful for 70% of the games. He’s currently 2 for 30 from 3 over the last 6 games. Yet he’s still taking 6 3’s a game. Like come on!!!
@ I’m saying idk what happen he just ain’t his self nowadays idk . This team in big trouble if you stop solo Liam go do his thing it’s just none of them or athletic at all karaban should be doing same shit Liam doing . I can see it now he go have to stay his senior year smh
@ I said the legit same thing. He gotta stay!! He ain’t getting drafted. He’s regressed!! Might as well get that NIL money because there is no NBa money for him after this performance this year.
We all watched the game last night and it is clear, Hurley made a big mistake recruiting Aiden from California who was supposed to be a great guard and he looks like he should play for Quinnipiac. This was the biggest mistake in the off-season. Diarra who is been a role player has been asked to be the best guard in ball handler on the team. You can't win a game with 45 to 50 turnovers in two games. The second St John's put pressure on it changed the game . The only difference between this game and the Marquette game that we won is the fact that we shot the ball well in the second half and we could not shoot at all. Karaban has not taken the responsibility of the top player and he is not going to the NBA. The biggest play in that game what's when he missed that three, then goes down and fouls the three-point shooter for a four-point play. That is a 7-point swing and that was the start. We have been blessed with two championship teams 2 years in a row and this team is not that
@@michaeldelugan8272 Mahaney is unplayable! He needs to be asked to leave after this season. He’s wasting a scholarship for someone that can help this team.
Disappointing loss
St. Johm;s WON
Sure did
They did. UConn came out on fire and fought hard throughout the game, making shots difficult for St. John's. They held them to 68 points on 40% shooting. In the end, 22 turnovers, SOME due to Red Storm pressure, was too much to overcome.
