Donovan has to keep his feet on the court and focus on being a roadblock. Ledee will want to get him to bite on upfakes and then crash into him to draw fouls. Don't bite on the upfakes. If DC can say on the court we will be fine.
The 4 teams that made the BET Final 4 should have all made the NCAAs and Creighton would have been 5. Its beyond ridiculous what happened and then there was our bracket. Val and the Butler rep at the committee got depantsed on a national stage. The BE statement was beyond weak. The BE needs a...
There were a number of early possessions where Donovan was open 6 feet from the hoop with a defender behind him but we did not get him the ball. Ballhandlers just missed the second where it was there. He then did get a number of passes in awkward spots and did his best. It seemed to me we wanted...
We took St Johns best shot which I expected. Our team is really special. Different players stepping up every game. When we have everyone clicking no one can beat us.
Defensive intensity. We upped it bigtime in the second half and then when we come down after an opponents miss with everyone looking to pass or get to their spot for a shot it wears the other team down. And our top 8 blend together well which disorients opposing defenses. It is constant...
We had the starters in. Ball got one minute. Hurley was clearly trying to run something and yet we can't figure out how to feed DC down low or get to him there and have him kick out. I doubt DH was happy with this 2 games in a row. If the game was over put the bench in.
Next year I want to see how the BE sets up our home schedule at the end of the season. They clearly wanted us to lose on the road the last quarter of the season this year. Creighton, MQ and PC all away on second matchup.
Karaban had a nice game but he could not hit a runner to save his life. The Samson screen foul call took away a nice Cam S 3. We just stopped making shots once we hit 68. It needs explaining. Helped PC was already beaten.
After Cams 3 we were a Chinese fire drill on offense and it needs to get fixed. Watching the tape will help the team. AK played a huge role in us keeping our lead. He really stepped up tonight. Solo Ball again basically a DNP. Donovan is like a jungle gym for opposing defenders every game. Does...
I believe in one of the highlight videos they show on gamedays there is a shot of Jim Calhoun hugging KFree after he is taken out of the NCAA game that was his final game. He was crushed his career was over and we were eliminated from the Tourney. Kevin was a great warrior for this school.
Everyone knew Cam Spencer had not scored well into the second half and gave a good cheer when he hit his 2 pointer. When he hit the 3 it was beyond loud. Huge energy boost to the crowd. Castle solved a lot of problems today. He just keeps putting the pressure on the opposing defense.
Having gone to UConn when they built the library and forgot to account for the weight of the books on the cantilevered outside walls and having been at the Civic Center when Big Al Lewis had his night against UMass before the roof caved in I am not a big fan of engineers and architects. Hard to...
True but they denied us open perimeter looks and took their chances with us inside and Newton was the only one that created his own shot. We did not move the ball on the perimeter like we normally do and that was their plan IMO. Do not let us get shots off screens.
Agree with the fall on the court by Creighton and get a foul called on UConn. Just ridiculous. Hurley has to have a plan to counter Ashworth if we play Creighton again. He was on the verge of being a PIA in Gampel and last night was nuts as he shut down Cam and got Clingan in foul trouble. I...
Creighton gave Castle the treatment Ajax was getting last January. Credit Coach Mac for coming up with the plan. Kalk in the paint shut everything else down.
No one helped Newton tonight. Just a pathetic effort on defense. Even though we already played each other it was like we never scouted them. Need to win one of the 2 remaining road games as all BE road wins so far have been against middle of the pack teams.
When Donovan was in the game with 4 fouls late he was still ready to go up for an upfake by a guard. I don't know why he won't calm down and just be his 7'4" self. Put your arms up and then rebound. Don't try and block every shot. Samson gets caught outside reaching and over biting on fakes. Our...
My opinion is no. Roberson will not be coming off an ACL tear and has a year of experience. With Fagano, and McDonald already in program for a year they will be ready. And having a 6'6" QB from Texas who is a top level freshman we are fine. Way more concerned about LB and pass rush. It is nice...
We won another Big East road game. We have seven days till the next game and there is a lot to improve on that can guide practices. We made mistakes tonight but never lost our composure. This team really believes in each other and is unselfish. Lets Fn go!
Watching from home on the replay Cook seemed to be pissed about Tristen holding his forearm after he had wacked at the ball. Cook thought it was a dirty play-it wasn't- and Cam Spencer got in between them to shut it down. Cook was swearing for sure.
I have an 89 Ariens 2 stage blower. As it has aged I add some extra Stabil to the gas and run it out dry every Spring. Used to keep the gas tank full and just turn off the valve and run the gas out but the ethanol just sucks for carburetors. Clean the plug or replace it if we've actually had a...
I watched the big kid on DePaul-Nelson- ram his shoulder into Samson's chest twice in the first half at Gampel really hard and then made a move and Samson was called for a foul. Some of the stuff allowed is very surprising when the BE refs call ticky tack fouls on our team. Samson has really...
I believe her injury was the result of that hyperextension. So much pressure pinching on the cartilage and front of the tibial plateau. It is physics essentially.
Have to find a way to win games as that is all that matters. Who is the physical player on UConn with Donovan out? We are not winning BE games with finesse only players. Many questions will be answered tonight.
The speed of Hawk and Andre was not replaced. No way are we going to match last years ability to run. Add in that Sanogo was able to hit 3s as well as dominate offensively in the paint. And when Donovan gave Sanogo a rest he was able to go full bore and score inside. Donovan of last season was...
Samson Johnson trying to defend the lane looked like Kevin Bacon at the end of Animal House trying to hold back the crowd. We do not have a power forward and are totally reliant on Donovan being able to clean up for lack of defense by perimeter players on drives. Ak is not one and struggles to...
