St Johns/Nova

[CaptBob]

Who on St Johns thought it would be a good idea to get into a 3 point shooting contest with Nova??? HELLO--St Johns is worse than we are at shooting the 3 & they took 37 attempts! We 're at 29% from deep & Pitino's crew is at a whopping 23%. Nova leads the BE at 39.4%. Am I missing something here???

St. John’s has a gaudy record but their 3-point shooting (29%) and free throw shooting (68%) is major chink in the armor. In a single elimination tournament that could screw you.

Also, I don’t know why more teams don’t zone them to death. That’s what Cooley did and he had tremendous success. In my opinion he showed everyone the model how to beat them but everyone ignored.

St johns 2 losses by bad refs this year. Nova traveled on final possession

Yeah this guy Pitino is no match for Kyle Neptune. He should retire 😉

The travel by longinho was a horrible miss by the refs. At moments last night Kadary was great and at other times he was missing in action. They need him to be locked in and not taking chunks of the game off

Cooley lost twice to St. John’s and by 25 points at home. Was down 31 in first half of last game.

What is your definition of “tremendous success”?

I actually think St Johns is overrated and so is the BE. No NCAA title this year and NO final 4 or 8 for any of the teams.

Another horrible miss was someone on St. John's (forget who) stepping on the baseline under the basket with about 6 minutes left in the game and no one caught it. They wound up scoring on the possession. It all comes out in the wash. Take the L.
