Reed asserting himself early, but SH doing a better job against him than St J did. Same strategy the Hall used last time around - "foul at will... they can't call 'em all". Around 8 and a half mintues left in the 1st half, 2 possessions in a row we got a man all alone under the rim for a layup...

Neither does discussing bad plays, errant passes, etc. This is a place to express concerns and congratulations both. Nothing we say (type?) here has any effect on the game or the players future efforts. We're just a bunch of fans sharing our opinions with each other. I know for sure I kept...

Tarris starting strong as usual, but sitting early after his first foul. Timeout. Catching my breath. 28 to 11 with 7:27 to go in the half. Darling is one of those dirty players that looks shocked whenever he gets called for a foul. Reed Is in the zone tonight. Oh no. Letting them crawl back...

I wrote a much longer, more detailed take on this game. Then somehow managed to delete it before saving it. Poof. So this morning, I turned on the replay and redid it. But Shorter. A lot shorter. I enjoyed what at first seemed to be a relutance on the part of the refs to use their whistles. But...

Not sure about the foul call putting Creighton on the line at about 3 minutes into the game. Live, it looked to me like the blue guy slipped and slid into our guy. Have to watch it in slomo later. Update. Not a good enough replay to call it one way or the other. Then again, I'm not Jim Breeding...

My Husky Hat has gotten me quote a few "Go UConn!" shouts over the years, and a couple "duck UConn" hollers as well.

TV Coverage didn't pick up the game until about 9 minutes in. UConn in the lead, Solo having himself a game -- a first half, anyway. We'll have to wait and see what the second half brings. To me, Demary looks a little hesitant in the 1st half. Seemed like he was playing 2 to 3 feet farther from...

Early on, Tarris getting tackled every time he touches the ball, and the refs are ignoring it. Looks like it'll be a long night. How long does it take to review a play that is blatantly obvious? One look from the end camera, and there should be no question. It's obvious it went out off Butler...

Our average FT % during the Hurly era, not counting this season, is 72.1 This season is is 75.1. But this game, it was 55%

Mullins with 5 of our first 8. I wondered if he'd stay hot all game. He didn't. He had but one more 3 later in the half, and another with roughly 2 minutes left in the game. We were up 16-10 at 13:43 in the first half, but little more than a minute later, we were down 16-19. Mullins did get our...

Karaban shot well for the most part, but had two shockingly bad plays. The one you mentioned, where he was apparently attempting a pass to someone in the third row, and the other, on defense, completely turning his back on his man, leaving him wide open for a drive and dunk.

2:26 in, it's 10 zip, and Mullins has 8 of our 10 4:06 in, it's 14-2. Mullins & Reed account for all our scoring so far -- Mullins with 10, Reed with 4. Xavier's 2 is from FTs. We've not even looked for a three. Very odd after the last game's early 3 point barrage. I suspect that Hurley is using...

Creighton scores first, but consecutive 3s by Mullins and Solo put us up by 4. Seven buckets between the two teams. Six of them are three pointers. Four of those 3s are ours. The 3 pointers keep on coming. 25- 22 at the 7 minute mark. 18 of our 25 points have come on 3 pointers, as have 12 of...

But had we made ONE more FT, we'd have been over our average at 57%!

Our house was similar sized. 8 or 9 years ago, we had a series of heavy snowstorms and a couple ice/freezing rain storms. Paid $300 to have the snow and ice cleared. Six man crew was there about 2-1/2 hours. The outermost 4 feet or so on the side that faced the winter sun was the worst. 8~10" of...
