This looks like a god damn high school game.

The energy is there, but it looks as if its an early season game. Very sloppy, no defense. AD's body language needs to improve its crucial.

 

[sledog]

Same here. I would have thought that the lead at the half would be 20 - given the 1h/1h trajectory

 

[SouthTampaBill]

Once again a blah game. No energy

 

[shakes65]

Sloppy yes, but also decisionmaking, decisionmaking, decisionmaking.

 

[Kitaman]

Maybe some of this is attributed to Calhoun's absence. Blaney at the helm will beat Depaul, but not like Calhoun.

Alot more energy in the second half love the way AD runs the floor. Why is the game thread so quiet tonight?! maybe TO was right.

 

[Henry]

Agree with all of the previous posts. Bad decisions, poor shot selection and too much dribbling. They should be up by thirty. DePaul is terrible.

 

[shakes65]

Deja vu again. Get up by 21 and then get stupid again.

 

[SouthTampaBill]

Good thing Depaul sucks

Game is kind of going according to expectations - DePaul physically overmatched, not a good team. Pups are putting the gas on in spurts, but can't focus in long enough stretches to put a cleaver to the juggler. They're sloppy, as usual - 11 turnovers. Boat playing like in this one - 1-8 with 4 turnovers. Shabazz playing well. The two of them have to play well simultaneously for this team to put it together. This Uconn team needs to keep running to put points on the board.

All in all, this Uconn team needed this one.

Not sure what Blaney's deal is with Roscoe Smith.

 

[FeedTheDove]

Roscoe is hurt. It was uncertain if he would play in this one. I guess they decided he needed to sit out.

Always just amazed at how bad AO's hand are - I want to see what they look like up close - totally enamored. There are always a couple moments in any game where it shows up - just put down a nice alley oop, but ball juggled in his fingers as he put it down, not a clean catch just close to the rim. Earlier in the half, had the ball in the lane and just couldn't handle it and it flipped out of bounds. Kid needs to squeeze sand.

I do like seeing AO's enthusiasm - the body language there has changed big time and you can see him wanting to take a leadership role.

 

[-Huskiediehard-]

Man! AO playing ok but hasn't improved his hands or low post moves at all!..JL looking good I think this will keep up through the rest of the year. I also agree we need RB and SN to need to play well simultaneously. Like what i saw from JL,SN,AD, and even DD having a pretty nice game. Where is Giffey?

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

is anyone else's 360 feed still saying commercial break after about 7 or 8 minutes?

Yep, the feed returned with 4 seconds left and counting. Terrible.

I was at a bar, and the chatroom has most of the action...Game threads are pretty dead now.

Linwatch: 10 assists 3 mins into the 3rd quarter.

 

[Henry]

Good win. I hope they realize that they need to play tighter. They can build on this but only if the guards make better decisions. DePaul was terrible but I'll take it.

 

[RuffRuff]

Enosch Wolf is an intriguing player - he reminds me of a Uconn type center from the 90's when they had to scrap for big men recruits. But he height can't be taught and the kid seems like he's coordinated. If he can hit the weights and gain some strength, could be an interesting player.

 

[caw]

He's a project and a tad slow but he has some skill.

 

[huskyharry]

Since someone mentioned Jeremy Lin, the Wolf truly has not been enough PT to see how he would perform...could be a could contributor next year.

It was good to see DD get some extended play and knock a couple down in the first half
