Loved that fake-deek from the corner!

 

[Dove]

Excellent...a fast start for UConn

 

[BugsyCT]

This is OUR house!!

BazzMania!

How loud is the garden? Got the sound on here at the bar but everything sounds loud

Watching from home but it sounded like the place was rocking at tip. Also, anyone else spot the clown in red and yellow behind our bench? Looks like an ISU snuggie.

 

[Vowelguy]

Given 6-9 from 3, would be nice to have a bigger lead.

 

[Dynasty]

Beatiful fade by DD.

 

[Dove]

On fire!

 

[Dove]

Our D is great!

 

[tykurez]

De-ANDRE!!!!!!

Nah. Good teams from here on out. It's gonna be a grind. If we were 2-9 we'd only be down 4-6. We are used to that.

Bigs have been GREAT defensively. Niels on the bench, too.

 

[DogBoy]

So far takin the air out of the ball

 

[BugsyCT]

Our team is jacked & shooting lights out. A 10 point lead at this point is a great start. Loving the energy of the team & the fans.

Hate to complain right now but I feel like we have yet to get a call going to the rack.

 

[Jerry1714]

Gotta start strong, cannot let them get back in it early

 

[jslack03]

Hate to complain right now but I feel like we have yet to get a call going to the rack.

definitely haven't gotten a couple of calls but we're shooting a lot of threes so that's where the foul gap is coming into play.... UCONN!!

 

[Danzz]

We can't shoot it any better than that: 52% and 58% from 3.

 

[husky91]

I agree, 2 fouls on them and that last rebound by Daniels should have been a foul. So we have to give up our possession to them to start the half even though Daniels was mugged??

Hate to complain right now but I feel like we have yet to get a call going to the rack.

That held ball at the end of the half may prove costly. Gives ISU the ball to start second half, rather than us.

ISU seems tight...and like they haven't seen a defense that will stay tight and yet can recover at the rim.

They have Hoiberg, so I'm worried. But I'm happy with the first half.

 

[Horatio]

ISU clearly is not used to this level of defense.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Hate to complain right now but I feel like we have yet to get a call going to the rack.

For whatever reason, guys at the size of Bazz and Boat do not get credit for drawing contact at the rim. Fortunately that will be rectified next season with some bigger, more physical guards.

Hated to see that.

Doesn't it depend on who got the ball to start the half?
