That was a good play. It broke the press and they committed foul number 6 on Sanogo.

Am I crazy or did PC screw themselves out of forcing a 10 second backcourt call with that foul?

I think Hurley needs to take some blame too... He needed to take a couple TOs during that run and tried to wait for the TV timeouts instead. Not particularly thrilled with that.

This. Not calling a timeout after newton went down was really bad too.

I think the ball was kicked out play so there was reset and we had ten seconds.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

hey, they won a close game.

Omg, thought I was going to freak out!

Just rewound. 100% off Corey Floyd's hand, not foot

 

[jibsey]

Newton had a helluva game.

 

[UCfor3]

Seems like the game really turned on the missed Newton dunk when he came up gimpy and had to come out.

No, it was our called timeout reset the 10 count

The carelessness with the ball should’ve been knocked out months ago. If we lose a winnable game, that is going to be the reason. Andre needs to get his head screwed on as it was in the first half. Adama needs to solidify his positioning better, and the rest of the guards need to be wayyyy stronger with the ball. Can’t have periods like this the rest of the season.

The look on Jackson’s face after the play is almost the best part of the clip

Ah. Yep. For some reason thought PC called timeout but definitely Hurley. Good catch. PC used their last with over a minute to go.

We once again showed we can look like the best team in the country and annoyingly we showed we're capable of melting down in chaotic situations. Luckily we righted the ship just in time with some clutch shots, a huge hustle rebound by Newton and clutch ft's by Newton.

We need to learn from this and Hurley has to impress upon them that 30 minutes of focus isn't enough against any of these teams. Can't have these extended mental collapses anymore or we'll get bounced.

I feel exactly the same way I did after UConn’s win over Seton Hall at Gampel. They won, cool, but it doesn’t feel great. It never should have gotten that close

Fun facts:

Providence had a NET of 53 before losing today.
11 of PC's 21 wins are Quad 4 wins
PC has a losing record against Quads 1 through 3

Does Providence deserve an at-large bid?

 

[Ratso]

home court feel @ MSG is anyone’s dream, but there’s business to be taken care of. i’m sure Andre is gonna let everyone know it

That was the key stretch…we gave them something like 7 quick points and thus gave them life

 

[TheChamps990411]

it all went down hill on Newtons missed dunk. After that it felt like january again. Glad we got the win.

 

[CL82]

I would like a word with the chuckleheads who still think that we do not need a point guard.

Our plan to have Adamo Sanogo try to handle the ball to close out a win-or-go-home basketball game was a little shaky there.

Yeah, I’m not seeing much in personnel changes from now till the end of the season, so why bitch about it?

More than that, what exactly is the complaint? Newton was probably the best player on the court today. They didn't "plan to have Sanogo" handle the ball to close out a game. He caught a pass, got fouled, and it was UConn sideline out of bounds. That's the one play that reflects a "plan" to have Sanogo handle the ball. It's just silly.

 

[Kolumbo]

They won a blow-out in ugly fashion. Take it.

Our press break needs to be set up/performed better. Lofted passes horizontally from Newton and AJax is too predictable, and neither uses up fakes or dribbles enough. Our OOB plays have been pretty scary for a while now.

Uhm, blow out?

They pass the eye test, they should get a bid.

Karaban=$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[gsmooth]

He needs to have the balls to either take out Andre, or somehow refocus him. He killed us down the stretch, and played poor defensively on Locke.

How many TOS did AJax have? I feel Ike he was a big part in UConn taking the lead and a big part in giving it away.

A month ago they had an opportunity to be a 4-5 seed. Now they’ll probably be 9-10

A neutral (away) loss to #11 UConn shouldn’t drop them down too much. But now they’re at the mercy of everyone else. A few bid stealers this week could put them at risk of dropping more. But they’ll definitely make it
