"I'm gonna say it... When we went to the (Elite 8) game, all those St. John's fans were rooting against UConn. And that just broke my heart... It's really sad, and that's crappy. That was just crappy."
"Sorry, (expletive). Hate to break it to ya but we're ST. JOHN'S fans, not UConn fans. We're not going to break out UConn chants & sing kumbaya just because we are members of the same conference. Get over yourself."
"Why is conference 'loyalty' expected in college? That's like a Knicks fan rooting for the Celtics in the NBA Finals. Who cares if it looks good for the Big East?"
"This is stupidest (expletive) I've ever heard you'd think fans who have been to the Final Four this often would care more about the games and not making sure St. John's (expletives). UConn fans are so miserable."
Andrea Hurley expressed disappointment over St. John's fans actively rooting against UConn during the Elite Eight. She found it disheartening and labeled the behavior as 'really sad' and 'crappy'. Fans of St. John's reacted negatively to her comments, emphasizing their loyalty to their own team and questioning the expectation of conference loyalty. They argued that supporting a rival team is not a requirement and expressed frustration over the criticism from Hurley.
