But those flimsy ankles.

They can’t win away when they have players on one leg.

Weak.

I like the t-shirts that I obviously inspired that the students were wearing. Great effort all around. A+.

Hot damn we looked freaking great! Didn’t shoot the ball great in the first half but that was an epic beatdown

This team is like early Alabama football.

Stifling defense. Then a running game built to wear you out at the other end.

We’re like a Boa constrictor. Eventually we’re going to squeeze the life out of you.

Remember when @freescooter said their were 50 coaches better than Hurley?

That was funny.

If anything AD needs to get Hurely back into the office and given a blank check and told name your price, just be a reasonable, but name it..

I don’t want any excuses from Dave, Hurley better be top 5 in salary after this season. Find the money.

Furiously refreshing Kenpom

This is the best team we've ever had but we'll be judged by March/April. Never want to think championship or bust but it's where I've been at for a while.

We didn't even need anything offensively from AK and Castle. Clingan's statline doesn't do justice to how dominant he was, he destroyed everything Marquette wanted to do offensively and his passing is ridiculous. Hass also dominated on both sides of the ball.

Two things absolutely killed Marquette and you mentioned one Clingan utterly dominated that game every minute he was in there. He scored, he rebounded, he defended and i think he even served a couple beers from the bench. The second thing you didnt mention which was my #2 biggest factor was Castle/Diarras defense on Kolek. If you can disprupt the opposing teams point guard it is extremely disruptive to everything they want to do and it showed. If not for two completely blown defensive assignments that lead to open 3s Marquette doesnt reach 50. That was an absolutely dominant win against a legit top 10 team. If this team stays healthy and continues to play at this level i dont know who beats them. The combination of depth, offensively explosive and elite defense is extremely tough to beat.

What’s Parrish got to say now?!?!?!?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Well that was pretty crazy honestly. The rebounding was soft early and evidently Dan lit a fire because the defense clamped down and we dominated on the boards. Lots of great passes and efficient offense. Should scare the living crap out of the college basketball universe.

Forgot to address this. I dont know if this is the best Uconn team ever but i can tell you it is the best regular season team ive ever seen. This team has all the answers and is simply running through the big east. March is going to be wild.

 

[Huskyforlife]

We’ll be number 1 in Kenpom soon if the defense keeps this up.

 

[Chin Diesel]

UConn did a better job making Marquette pay for overplaying wings than I can remember against any other school.
The back door cuts and passes had to he demoralizing.

 

[storrsroars]

So we're now #2 in KP. This win sent our AdjD from 17 up to 11. We'll be top 10 in both AdjO and AdjD by tourney time.

This team continues to impress. They just keep coming in waves. Ball movement and movement off the ball was on point. They just buried a good Marquette team. I said it to my wife and some coworkers at the beginning of the season that as crazy as I may sound I think this team is better than last year's team. They are so balanced it makes it extremely difficult to come up with a plan to slow them down.

I said it in another thread, Diarra destroyed Kolek and Kolek makes that team go, Hass was also great on offense. Clingan and Diarra were both totally dominant.

If we stay healthy and Clingan stays out of foul trouble I think we're unbeatable on a neutral court. Usually with great teams you worry about a bad shooting night but we have so many guys that enough always step up when the others can't make shots. Our floor is higher than any UConn team I can remember because they're so consistent and our ceiling is as high as any UConn team ever.

Correct. Ironically we could see a similar score at their place. That game is going to be fun to watch.

I don’t think it’s our best team, but it’s really good. The Big East isn’t really that strong this year. Certainly nothing like it was for some of our other teams.
