Excellent strategy by Rick Pitino showing why he still is one of the best basketball minds around mind you his team isn’t super talented they just play with toughness and grit and determination
They were running a clinic on that mid range very smart strategy for St. John’s I think they need to stick with this style of offense it seems to fit them the best for sure they were making it look easy against a very good Creighton team another reason why this strategy is so effective it slows the game down when you don’t take threes unless absolutely necessary it limits the other teams ability to run out on the break and get fast transition points it is great for when you are playing a fast paced and athletic team you force them to play a more old school fundamental style of offense and for the fast athletic teams that is very frustrating because it takes away their strengths and makes them play through their weaknesses that is because teams that are fast paced don’t like to play very deliberately they want to play a freestyle offense but you can’t do that if you play this strategy of course you have to be consistent from mid range and mix in drives to the basket and looking for cutters to the basket to make it almost impossible to beat I played in high school trust me it’s frustrating playing a team that force you to play their style very much like Virginia and Tony Bennett system that is why he has so much success over the years even when he never had the best teams or athletes more fundamentally sounded then anything and of course you have to be consistently active on defense and playing the passing lanes looking for easy steals
The game plan was shoot mid range and drive the paint only kick out if absolutely necessary old school ball you can tell by the fact they barely shot any threes
Mcdermott lost it for the jays by not pulling shireman. Stepping out of bounds twice...cant inboind the ball...three air balls one was a layup. Unreal jr league plays. If not for trey alecander thr jays lose by 30. What happened to low post with kalkbrenner? If st johns had a better center then they may go far. Shireman couldnt make a shot if the rim was triple the size. They better get it together fast
All white Armani suit 🔥

What’s up with the Louisville logo on mid court ?
Pitino brought it with him from Louisville in hopes of making his current players quicker and make better bounce passes, lol.
Red Storm 🤷🏻♂️
Had a 9 pick parlay & only creighton blew it lost out on 9k but I’m not mad st johns played with their hearts from start to finish
Going forward, St. John's players will play better for each other...not because of their coach.
How many games are we gonna let Mason have zero points before he goes to the bench
Why do we love to hate so easy as people

Creighton should go to the elite eight or further this year theyre not that bad
How is it possible to beat a #1 then come out the very next game and lose to an unranked opponent?
Because mentality imagine if u beat the best team to compared if you just got called out by your coach
You will play completely different the next game even if you don’t try too,sports is weird like that
Welcome to college basketball
Per shot quality, Creighton that game was making a lot of tough shots and/or couldn’t miss. Home court advantage has also been big this season.
Lets go

They played their A+ game against UConn, they only had one place to go, downward. Shooting 50% from the 3 against UConn is not sustainable.
I agree he was terrible the whole game
Creightons a chokefest waiting to happen. Early exit in tourney😂
