Stourrs, Conn Uconn The fans of the upper level of the Gampel suite descended with a 3:11 survival in a game that was supposed to create national heroes defending twice, but instead it was transferred to the passage of a conference of one regional power to the extended from Queens. ” By that time, the Huskies team was delayed in the eight following a pair of free pomegranate from Red Storm Storm Kadari Richmond, a fork in the Connecticut team throughout his team career, and nothing about feeling up to the spinning at home, was in playing.
But suddenly, Taris Reed turned two free throws and Liam McNley turned into a runner below the right side of the corridor, reducing the margin into four. The fans who started their amazing career towards the reverse track abroad and collected their necks to capture a final overview. Going and forth, these ancient competitors in the great East went at a volatile and fool -ended end that left the strong structures in need of one defensive station to give themselves the opportunity to connect the seconds. This is when St. John The assistant coach Bob Washsh put a great play for the free shooting goalkeeper RJ Luis JR. For the main bird that was tearing the window and turned the hearts of anyone clinging to hope, and restarting the exit from the hoarse.
“[Luis] “There was no doubt that he was in my mind that he would make the bullet:” Saint John Petino coach said, “there was no doubt that he would make the shot. I was 100 percent sure that it would make the shot. ”
The 17 feet of Lewis raised with 10.1 seconds around the clock St. Jones to the eventually 68-62 victory, which led 1 victory over her CV. But in getting rid of No. 11 Marckets and No. 19 UCONN in an extension for a period of four days-both a mixture of defensive and offensive density suffocated and shot in time-the red storm composed the best and most relevant moment of the program at the national level in decades while struggling to control the East The big one is away from the last two seasons and championships in the championship, respectively. Saint John is now at the top of the standings on 21-3 in general and 12-1 in the league while sheltering realistic expectations to compete for titles inside and outside the conference, a feeling that he seemed unimaginable before Betino arrived from Iwen two years ago.
The last time Pitino brought a team to Gampel Pavilion with this expectation of the match was January 29, 2011, for the big confrontation in the old school between Louisville No. 23, where he trained for 16 seasons, and Uconn ranked fifth. A crowd was accelerated from this afternoon before a crowd of 10,167 quickly to a double classic in time, as the Cardinate Biton Seifa jumped his body in the air in order to have suspended breakdowns who forced the first additional session and later linked it to the corridor for the jam of the jam Which necessitated the second. Two throwing the ball from Seifa, all of which came from the seven field goals from inside the bow, got a 79-78 victory for visitors.
Jim Kalhoun, Connecticut coach, Contecticut coach Jim Caloun with his team’s inability to hinder the huge sword, is generously listed with a length of 6 feet and 185 pounds, and he was kneeling in the effort Nothing, “He said like Hun. “If you did, you’re going to try to solve it. I tried to use different centers, but both of them went out of the way to make sure [Siva] He had a clearer view of the edge. “
Betino was so persistent that his group was persistent despite its delay in the middle of the road during the second half and giving up 21 offensive rebounds – “The glass was completely taken on the glass”, that the final Famir hall spent part of his news and Biteno said: “This One of the most ever trained teams, “This is one of the most teams that I have ever trained,” this is one of the most ever trained teams, “I am really lucky to train this team.”
In both spirit and tightness, the feelings that match it on January said what Betino said about his current team after his victory over Marquette against Market on Tuesday night, which calls the red storm towards its highest ranking in the twenty -first century when new surveys were issued in Early next week. St. John overcame loud shows from the free throw line (17 versus 31, 54.8 %) and 3 points (3 versus 16, 18.8 %) by hitting golden eagles for 36 points in paint and coating. About the fun of the players that his players must train, and how they find their behavior “refreshing with the way they play, and the difficulty of their playing”, which indicates that his pride in this year’s team is equal to a bright profession that includes seven aspects of four final and national championships.
It seemed that the absolute brutality of this game amazed Shaka Smart, the coach of the Marquit team, who opened his press conference after the game after losing 70-64 by praising “amazing violence” and “strength” that played the red storm. Such an unarmed destruction from one of the closest and most respectable colleagues of Hurley, hit the main Uconn coach as he was preparing Sant John. Hurley has long been considered a supporter of the legal aggression, Hurley encouraged his players to watch the movie “The Wrestling” in preparation for the level of physical level that they will face on Friday night. “It will be a war.”
The strong in the battle is wasted. The Hurley team, which exploded by the Hurley team for the emotional return of McNelli, exploded, a five -star recruiter who had 24 points at the opening seven minutes by spraying five triple throws that designed a two -number bullet. The home crowd of 10,299 palpitations and violated the possibility of a specific week for the season on its own, as the Huskies team achieved an unexpected victory over Marquette last Saturday.
But it does not seem that the Biteno eyebrow, and his designer is correctly wrinkled, as the 72 -year -old coach was escalating along the sides of the Jambal Pavelion in his commercial position: both arms behind his back, and fingers from the side of the convenience of the last hand, lean forward In the waist to manipulate instructions and PECK on officials. The cold was radiated from Pitino to a group of players who appeared on an equal footing, even when the red storm abandoned the original defensive game plan in favor of the completely unworthy press. When Betino asked his team from Harry and Uconn Backcourt – with a limited Hassan Diara’s point goalkeeper from a patient knee and the absence of a secondary ball therapist – Saint John responded by forcing 22 transformations and turning it into 18 points in the other direction in the other direction.
“What the press did for me 40 years ago is that it wears people from the legs as they do not shoot the ball too,” Biteno said. “The gift in which my team was always was. If we could wear their legs, they will not shoot it as well. But they were coming to us and they were getting a lot of easy shots. You will take a little starch from her foot, and take some time in BackCourt, and make us stumble very.
Point after another, and possession of possession, the red storm captured the control of the game. They came out of the first -half hole from 14 points with a barrage of medium -range players from Lewis, who made 10 of 21 attempts to get 21 points with the graph that effectively condemned what is considered an analytical sound. They eroded a six -point deficit in the second half when Richmond started his way through traffic in order to throw brutal ball after another, as he scored all 12 points in the final clip. There was a six -minute extension in the last stages of the second half when Lewis and Riccolid gathered to score 16 points from 18 points for the team. Even Hurley admitted that the red storm was physically stronger than Uconn in every situation on the ground.
“I think we are looking at the ball as food,” Lewis said. “We are just trying to take it. I feel we are a handful of dogs that play hard, and I feel that we only wanted it more than them.”
The missing ball from the McNeley with three seconds remained eventually the fate of Huskies, and on this point the St. Center began John’s Center Ruben Prey in waving the rest of the student department goodbye. In the handshake line, where Lewis absorbed a playful one after another from his team mates, the exchange between Hurley and Beetteno Curt was. They embraced them for a short period and then went on their separate ways with each of the two men understand exactly the reason for this game revealed the way you did.
After that, the celebration began with a high degree, as the assistant coach of St. John Talik Brown began to overcome the boxes with each player apparently walking outside the field, every exchange is stronger than the latter. It was a painful scene of the UNCON’s boneman sitting a few meters away, behind the Huskies seat, where their former colleague discovered the victory of another school. Ben Gordon, Omika Okafor, Rashad Anderson, as the starting point of the National Championship team, looked at Big East, the changing flame for at least one season.
Biteno said: “We have come to that now, and we will not let her slide a little.”
