St. John's suffered an ugly loss to Michigan in Rick Pitino's MSG debut as coach. Pitino expressed surprise at Michigan's brilliance and the dominance of Dug McDaniel. He criticized his team's offensive and defensive performance, attributing the loss to the team's inability to follow the scouting report and the addition of many transfers. However, St. John's bounced back with a strong offensive performance in a win over Utah.
St. John's bounces back with 91 points, in a VERY nice win over Utah to end the week in Charleston. Johnnies already one of the more impressive offensive teams Ive seen - and give it time: Defense will get there. In Pitino we trust. Excited to watch this team grow this year😤 https://t.co/Uf2TJWeuEZ
“I wasn’t overly disappointed with Michigan, but I’m overly disappointed tonight, because we’re losing because we can’t pay attention to a scouting report.” Rick Pitino didn’t hold back after St John’s loss to Dayton: https://t.co/NmWpnrC7Pc #sjubb
Rick Pitino was very unhappy with this performance. Felt they didn’t follow scouting report. #sjubb
Rick Pitino and the Johnnies have a lot of work to do. ... especially on the defensive end of the floor. Will need to win the consolation game against Houston/Utah to avoid returning from Charleston with a 1-2 mark.

Pitino: "The offense shocked the hell out of me." #sjubb
Pitino: “I knew this team would give us a lot of trouble. I just didn’t expect the reaction of some our players offensively. It surprised me, because I haven’t seen that in practice at all. Our defense was not good, our offense shocked the shit out of me.” #sjubb
Pitino: “I told them (Michigan) played like a team that’s playing in January, and you look like a team that’s playing in early November.” #sjubb
Pitino: “Give Michigan credit, they were brilliant at every phase of the game. Even on out-of-bounds plays, they were brilliant.” #sjubb
Rick Pitino says he was surprised by how well Dug McDaniel played. "He just dominated us." #sjubb
Pitino: “Unfortunately, we knew Michigan was a great teams. It’s very difficult to judge how teams are this time of year, but what we didn’t expect was to get dominated by their point guard the way he dominated us tonight.” #sjubb
