It's the Mike Francesa podcast on the BetRivers Network.

Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the Mike Francesa podcast, part of the BetRivers Network,

and I can hear the people in New York still buzzing after St. John's thrilling.

And in the second half, you didn't think you were going to need thrilling today.

67-65 victims. In the second half, you didn't think you were going to need thrilling today. 6765 victory over the Kansas Jayhawks that sends them to a sweet 16 game against Mighty Duke.

And wow, what a finish.

And hey, forget all the things that went into that game.

And there were a lot of different twists and turns.

The things Kansas did terribly.

The things St. Johns couldn't do late, the things St.

John's did well early, they get the lead, the fact that they blew a big lead. The bottom

line was two things really struck me here. One, Kansas did a terrible job and give self and his staff credit for a tremendous comeback.

They never panicked.

They just relentlessly worked the game, put their right people in, and got the game to where they had a chance to win.

The bottom line is they were in a great position.

When the game was tied after Peterson made both free throws, they had all those fouls to give.

They did not work the clock right.

They should have waited more on each one of those so that the last one on the

inbound would have left St. John's with a second.

Instead, they left them with the last one that they could use, the fourth one.

They left them with 3.9, which gives you, 3.9, you can take the ball

at more than half court, almost a little, almost three quarter court in three point nine and get to the basket.
