“It is not a matter of when, or if it is, Sant John will happen and this will happen significantly.”
These were the words of Rick Betino on March 21, 2023, inside the Madison Square Park. The Famir Hall announced a guarantee on that day in New York City, and on Tuesday night, the 72 -year -old was a man in his speech.
He plays the first 15 games in the normal season in one season since January 1999, Johnnies closed the twelfth No. 11 Marquette, 70-64.
In the past years, the thousands who have come in Mecca have become conditional on the discovery of new ways to lose. From the last experience of sports in New York. From asking what could be and searching for the next moment, they could be truly excited to deplete the madness of March from Manhattan. Being hungry for the old east days.
Well, believe it, New York City. The basketball team in your college is more than it is related to the national level, and those days you remember during the era of Lou Carnesecca are back because this team makes some of its history.
For the first time since 1986 – yes, 1986! The red storm won 15 of the last 16 games. Johnnies is 11-1 in the Great East for the first time since 1985. That year, they reached the fourth final. I need to say more? What about 17 consecutive consecutive wins, the longest series since those days of Louis, too, when the 30th consecutive program won from 1985-1987.
Tuesday night was far from being beautiful with 42 errors and 49 free throws, but this is the way this group loves from Johnnies. The Pitino team, which was sitting in the first five centers in the country in defensive efficiency, made Cam Jones frustrated for the best part of the night, hate it to 15 points on many shots. They closed Marquit to 3- FOR-15 from the city center in the second half.
Simply put, this team defends a high level like anyone in university basketball.
