"The No. 6-ranked Huskies (26-3, 16-2 Big East) crushed the No. 15-ranked Red Storm (22-6, 15-2 Big East) 72-40. St. John's missed 24 straight shots to end the game, with their last coming at the 17:28 minute mark in the second half. According to ESPN Insights, that is the longest streak of missed field goals by an Associated Press-ranked team in the last eight seasons."
"The 73-year-old coach spoke with the media for just over a minute before walking out of the session. His behavior was petulant but understandable. Why would Pitino want to answer the tough questions after a blowout, where his team turned in a mind-blowingly terrible second half?"
