00:00You were there for that buzzer beater against Kansas.
00:03When you think about that moment, where does that moment rank in program history,
00:07and how do you think it changes the way that this team believes in itself?
00:11I mean, it's obviously got to be a top-five dramatic moment in program history.
00:15If he doesn't make that shot and they lose in overtime,
00:17the big story is going to be the officiating.
00:20They got screwed, let's be honest.
00:21You had the goaltender in the first half with Edgeford.
00:24There was no more clear goaltender than that.
00:26He shot off the glass. They took it off the glass.
00:28That was one point they lost, because it would have been a three-point play.
00:31Then you have the backcourt that went off Kansas, and they said it didn't,
00:33and that's Kansas' ball, and then they score, so that's three points.
00:36And then you have the offensive rebound with a minute left when St. John's was up four,
00:39where the Kansas guy's out of bounds and ends up tipping it to the teammate, and they score.
00:43Those five points, they got taken away from St. John's.
00:46I understand St. John's taking a lot of threes, and Kansas is big,
00:49so they weren't really going after them in the paint as much as St. John's usually does,
00:53but two fouls.
00:54There was one play where Ruben Prey got thrown to the floor on a rebound.
00:56The officiating was incredibly slanted, and if St. John's lose that game in overtime,
01:01I mean, I don't see how that's not the story of the game.
01:05They won. You move past. It's not a big deal.
01:07It just shows you this mental toughness team that they were able to overcome it.
