Karaban turned into Larry Legend in the 2nd half. Solid win for this team and a great performance by AK who showed he can carry this team over the finish line when needed.

I'd hate to see what some of you people are like after a loss. Trashing Clingan after a win over a top 15 team seems a little crazy

winning ugly

You thought that was ugly? I thought we won a damn high quality basketball game given the players that were either missing or MIA.

I’m not trashing, or at least really don’t want to come off as such. Just observations i’ve made from the first 5 games. All of this stuff is completely fixable. As others said, I think getting conditioning back in order is a huge start.

Sorry, he is a 7'-2" 2nd year CENTER and he played like a HS senior this game.

Boooo

Definitely not aimed at you. Yours have been reasonable takes even if I don't agree. I'm just not worried, gonna take some time to come back to feel great coming off a foot injury. Especially tonight specifically when it's a back to back after playing 30 minutes yesterday

Watching KU vs Chaminade. Timberlake looks like he belongs in a mid major school. He’s not good. How lucky are we that we got Spencer instead. Spencer is a perfect fit for this team.

Winning ugly?

That was beautiful.

Big win against a relentless high level athletic team.

I said it in the chat, Senior Testiculo needs to mail his balls to AK.

The pick and roll between AK and Clingan in the second half was the best Clingan has looked this year. Nothing mechanical, he moved smoothly.

Teams like this are ideal games for Diarra and Johnson.

When Castle comes back, minutes for Stewart and Ross will be sparse. Ball, Johnson, Diarra are the core bench players.

Ball was great in first half and then the moment caught up to him. No worries. He can play.

Texas seems like they are a fun team to watch and root for.

I gave it a like before I finished reading the last 3 words. Yeah, like to watch Mitchell, but I’d never root for Texas.

Very fair. I just want to get that behemoth than finished everything. Defensively he’ll be fine, other than ticky tack fouls. He can learn a thing or two at the moment how Samson is making darts to the rim for easy finishes. Seal the man and go.

 

[uconnfan68]

Great win, can’t wait for Castle to get back. Samson was great and Diarra stepped up. Ball had a good game, need that to continue and need another freshman to step up. Karaban was so clutch.

Gonna be interesting to see the development or DC this year. He’s still so raw, would love to see him get a jump hook or some sort of offensive move. He just looks very rushed a lot of the time, I think he’ll get there but hopefully it has something to do with him coming back from injury

Or he could just dunk more.

Who was #10 and what has he done with Hassan Diarra?

Kinda what I thought, but there has to be a reason Hurley's playing him. So I know zero.

 

[Marat]

AK was the answer down the stretch. Karaban should have used Sanogo's quote after this game - "they thought they had a chance to win, but they did not".

W/Minutes

 

[CardiacAndre7]

23 points, 14 boards, 4 blocks, 3 steals between Samson and Has. Tremendous.

Now gotta get Stewart/Ross going against the cupcakes to get their confidence up. We will need one or both of them to step up at points this season.

 

[temery]

he also made a hand gesture like he needed an inhaler.

Air is thinner up there. I'm surprised he doesn't need one more often.

If he plays against Kansas like he did in this game, Dickenson will eat him alive.

I'm sure that would make you very happy

 

[Shamon30]

Roumoglou could've been useful when the 3s weren't falling

 

[alphasigko]

No, it would not... Just saying IMO that he needs to get his head right and his act together. He can clearly play better than this.

What's wrong with his head?

 

[Dove]

I love how Dan goes through the final "Good game...good game" line chatting almost everybody up. Would love a mic on that.
