00:00Drs. St. John's ranked inside the AP top 10 at number nine the highest ranking for the Red Storm
00:06since the final AP poll of the
00:091999-2000 season the last year in which st. John's won an NCAA
00:15Tournament game hoping for at least that in many more throughout this
00:212024-25 campaign they go on the road
00:24Winners of ten in a row to take on Villanova on the main line as just a slight two-and-a-half point favorite
00:31But Donnie after you went to the money line yesterday
00:34I talked about at length at that game were the odds makers incorrect not valuing the Johnny's in the right way
00:42Or should that line only being two-and-a-half in favor of a team that had won ten consecutive
00:47Be telling it turned out to be exactly that what a great second half
00:52We saw yesterday between Nova and st
00:55John's as the Johnny's see their ten-game win streak come to a close in Tyler Perkins
01:01hits the game-winning 3-4 Villanova with nine seconds remaining in regulation to give the Cats a
01:0973-71 victory outright as a two-and-a-half point dog in Philadelphia
01:14Fifteen to ten on the season now Villanova more importantly eight and six in the Big East here's they try to play theirself into the
01:20Bubble and maybe get some other opportunities
01:22It starts with a top ten win over st
01:25John's and it also been as you pointed out a very public side in st
01:29John's a team that's on a roll the better team overall in the Wildcats
01:32What was the difference there when you got into the numbers as we pointed out st
01:36John's doesn't necessarily like to take the three-point shot and over goes take all you want here
01:39But Nova very stingy inside the arc limiting your damage at the rim
01:44Which is exactly where st
01:46John's likes to eat now st. John's ended up taking 37 three-point shots weren't horrendous there, but shooting under 30%
01:52That was the difference but also totality for the team
01:5644% from the floor that's usually not good enough to win a nice night for the Villanova Wildcats and also have a wuga poplar
02:02Miami's wuga poplar coming over to play 33 minutes 9 of 14 from the floor 22 total points
02:08Pacing the Cats in a big win out on the pavilion
02:12Drs. If there is an issue for st. John's at times it is their lack of offensive efficiency
02:18They are 80th in the country according to Kenneth Pomeroy. They had the second most efficient defense
02:25They can grind you out on that side of the floor Qadari Richmond last night
02:3017 points 10 dimes. It's what he does Aaron Scott five made triples to lead st
02:35John's with 22 points Simeon Welcher a huge three in the final 30 seconds
02:40But of course Tyler Perkins had the answer Zubi edge of four though in the front court for Rick Pitino in the red storm
02:47Just two points last night
02:49Not exactly what you are hoping for out of one of your bids to try to pick up your 11th consecutive
02:55Victory big win for Villanova
02:57Just their second cover and outright victory as an underdog in six tries and Big East play
03:03But Donnie more impactful perhaps for st
03:07John's still in first in the Big East a 12 and 2 conference record still 21 and 4
03:14Overall still a hefty favorite to win their first Big East regular season crown in more than three decades at minus
03:23240 but it sets up a
03:26Monumental matchup inside the Mecca and I am NOT just using that for hyperbole against Creighton on Sunday afternoon
03:34the Blue Jays
03:3511 and 3 in Big East play just a game behind st. John's what a game we have on Sunday
03:44Absolutely, New York's team st
03:46John's at this point and it's nice to see because the rebirth of the Big East usually deals with New York City being
03:51Hoppin and then being hoppin means st
03:53John's being good again, which they are Rick Pitino the Don of all Don's, you know pulling all the strings
03:59They're loved to see it now granted. You can't win every basketball game and how many times we said it on this program?
04:04It's hard to win on the road in conference play and Villanova is a decent opponent now both 500 here
04:09Obviously you see in the Big East and look the st
04:12John's is good
04:13That's gonna draw even more eyes once we see the Big East tournament at the garden
04:18You want to talk about it's been a long time since James John's had the actual home court advantage with a really good basketball team in
04:24The Big East tournament you're gonna get that this year something of those throwback days, which you look forward to
