Facey

[joober jones]

He deserves his own thread after his monstrous performance on the boards.

 

[gtcam]

KF was HUGE

 

[Matrim55]

Best game of his career.

 

[jorge34]

No reason he can't do that every game. and should. great job

 

[Huskyforlife]

MVP this game. We need someone to rebound like that.

 

[mauconnfan]

Monstrous game, congrats to him. Wanted the ball, went and got the ball - would love to see more. Deserves the game ball!

 

[tcf15]

7 points and 13 rebounds while fighting a stomach virus. He threw up during one of the timeouts tonight too.

 

[Dove]

Jamaican Jerk!!

More!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

He's had 5 or 6 of these the last 4 years. Hopefully he has 30 or so of them left in the tank.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

His best game by far. and we really needed it.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Bet Enoch starting lit a fire under his bum, played like a man possessed. Enoch musta been angry he was playing so well too, he stole a basket from KFace.

 

[MASSconn]

He is significantly better than Brimah and I'd like to see him play more.

Every one was saying Phil would make a "Hilton Leap" last year. Will it actually be Facey this year?

I'd be happy with an Okwandu leap.

I'd be happy with an Okwandu leap.

I remember when Chuck had 12 pts or so one game his senior year. One of the best nights of my UCONN watching career.

Who the hell said that? If anyone was etched in stone, it was Phil. Great kid, with a hard ceiling.

Speaking of which, noticing some cracking of drywall tape in the ceiling of the house I recently moved into with the onset of cold dry weather. OT: WTH

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Feel like the guy has always had a ton of talent and that we should have seen more performances like this through his career. Not a knock on him but just kind of got caught in some less than optimal circumstances.

Maybe he can take how similiary to how Deandre went from enigmatic to big time in 2014.

 

[Ts5034]

Yes. Facey was excellent tonight. I figured in order to have a chance in this one, we had to rebound and play defense. We did both very well and its a great feeling getting a well deserved win.

If he plays like that when he's sick KO should carry a vile of the virus with him all the time for KF
Thanks for the info - didn't know he was/is ill

 

[Kitaman]

He played a Man's game! Now he's got to stop the teasing, cause last night he proved he's no woman. Its last call at the bar!

 

[Scottzer]

Most surprising performance of the year. 7 points might not sound like a lot, but 3/4 from the field is a % hard to come by on this team.

 

[Hankster]

I was extremely happy for KF. He did look like a new man out there. Happy for his game and happy he got out of the doghouse (no pun intended) from those who burned him at the stake on this very board. I remember one poster saying "I will be happy if I don't see Facey on the court again". My opinion only, he was one of the main reasons we one. A player possessed. I really hope KF goes out on a high note. Seemed like he was grabbing every other rebound.

 

[Walker11]

Very happy for him. Seems like a phenomenal kid, dealt with some excruciating hardships, hasn't really come close to meeting his potential (which may not be his fault). But tonight he shone and I'm sure he will always remember this game. He also had my favorite quote of the night.


“It’s UConn and Syracuse at the Garden,” said Facey. “It’s the biggest stage for us at this point in the season. It was a great opportunity for us to carry on something that a lot of great players were a part of.”

 

[Tommyboy]

No reason he can't do that every game. and should. great job

Seriously. He doesn't have to score. Just own the glass and people will be stoked.
