Big East 2024 Offseason

[GoldenEagles03]

Classic Big East battle in Hartford. U Conn hanging in there without Clingan.

They are just not scary without him. They need him healthy.

So much fun to watch. St. John's defense is outstanding. Back court, front court. Studs on top of studs. Wow. I'm impressed.

[MuggsyB]

Even without Clingan this is surprising.  UCONN looks lost. 

[Herman Cain]

Samson Johnson is playing with a lot of energy for The Huskies.

[BM1090]

I know UConn has been very good this year and I’d expect this “skid” to be a short one.

But they did lose a ton. Sanogo, Jackson, Hawkins, Alleyne, Calcaterra. I’m not completely surprised they’re struggling.

[Herman Cain]

Cam Spencer has real talent . Hopefully we have Stevie back when we meet The Huskies.

[Shooter McGavin]

Pitino dye his hair?  Kind of looks unnatural.

Is that a wig?  It's either dyed or a hair piece. 

[tower912]

Or the the old do was a dye job and this is a 70 year old going natural.

Lol.

[MuggsyB]

How in tbe world do miss a traveling call there?

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  St. John's in position to get this one. 

[Daniel]

Quite a game. Clingan is missed for UCONN

[mugrad_89]

Free throws matter…

[tower912]

Change his name to Patina.

[Herman Cain]

Johnnies have been poor shooters for a long time . Missed key shots and free throws down the stretch.

Huskies still going to tough even without Clingan

[HowardsWorld]

This game will probably be the difference in missing the tournament for St. John’s

[MuggsyB]

This game will probably be the difference in missing the tournament for St. John’s

It's definitely possible. 

[Lennys Tap]

Or the the old do was a dye job and this is a 70 year old going natural.

Dark brown/black to light brown is natural for a 70 year old? Yeah, not likely.

Way too early to say "probably" with 18 games to go.

  when i saw that...nba refs were blushing.  guy took off from the free throw line taking what? 5 steps??  it happened so quickly and blatantly and out in the open everyone just kinda sat there and watched like it was a dunking contest play

I get that but they stand 8-4 now and the best win out of those 8 is Utah. Going .500 on conference isn’t going to cut it for St.John’s

Agree regarding the unimpressive record so far, but I can see them doing better than .500 and surprising at least one of the other two of the "Big Three" enroute to the remainder of the season and squeaking into the Big Dance. You may be underestimating Slick Rick. I will not be relaxing during our game in NYC. Even after factoring Clingman being out, it was a home game for UCONN (even though it was off-campus).

I got what you said with the exception of the word "probably". I think "possibly" was more fitting, but I guess I am guilty of nitpicking. 

Merry Christamas Howard!
