Tonight in One Statistic

[Stainmaster]

Adams+Purvis: 8 for 33 from the field, 2 for 13 from three.

With numbers like that, tough to see how the end result could've been any different.

 

[Stainmaster]

Also, two other things:

1. Anyone saying Vance isn't a shooter, you can stop.
2. Brimah set a new career high for rebounds tonight.

Yup, tonight is on them. But really it's on Vital, Purvis, and Jackson for being offensive zeros for a half.

Most of the time, opposing defenses are either worrying about 1 or 2 players in each of our possessions. We need another legit option. Hopefully Jackson can continue to score with confidence going forward.

So 1 good shooting night makes a guy who is 31% from the field and 27% from 3 a shooter? Ok, whatever you say

Liked what we saw from Durham and Jackson tonight. Hopefully Durham is getting over the mental aspect of the game. 14 points for Vance tonight I think. Couple nice offensive rebounds and lose balls for Durham

Sometimes I go 3 for 6 shooting in my driveway.

Team played bad. Vance had moments. But all took really bad shots with no repercussions. Yeah no one to put in but that has been the tone for to long time.

You act like tonight's the first time he's ever made a three for us. He isn't consistent, but this is the 4th or 5th time he's provided this kind of offense for us all season. Rashad Andersons who are lights-out from day 1 don't exactly grow on trees.

Got any eligibility left?

 

[UConnSwag11]

I don't except much from Durham given he hasn't played in years. Vance needs to get a lot more run at Rodney's expense. Vance has better handles, rebounds better, better mid range shot, and better at getting to the rim

Good for you, want a certificate?

 

[UConnSwag11]

I can live with bad performances and mistakes from the freshmen. I can't with how bad purvis is playing

It will be a breath of fresh air for all of us when he steps off the court in March.

 

[Jaker]

I would seriously give vance the green light, only pure shooter on the tesm

 

[Palatine]

Purvis is just lost. He is one the island of misfit toys.

27% is 27%, there is no way to sugar coat that. I hope he develops into a shooter but he is a long from that right now.

0-3

Yeah after watching this game I was totally wrong about purvis. No handle and he sucks. No wonder he came back as a sr. I wish he left and Cassell stayed.

Purvis has been playing horribly, but do you honestly think Cassell would be any better?

might make a few more shots, but that's about it

 

[David 76]

I would reiterate that Adams is not a consistent point guard. Too many turnovers. Not all his fault. But he can't play point guard like that.
I agree Durham and Jackson were the silver lining.

they just don't say this stuff about other teams, they don't

Adams would likely be better off the ball but he would look like a better point with Larrier and Gilbert to pass to and with some scoring help. He's trying to do everything himself it seems at times because he feels like he has to I think. Trying to run the team and be the primary scorer is a tall order.

Agreed. He is just being asked to do too much with zero rest. It's taking a toll.
