Really? Most of the pundits lately have been saying it's Arizona.

I actually believed Mora thought he could achieve more here such as help the program to a P4 conference and produce more quality wins against better opponents. I guess I read him wrong, but I thought there was unfinished business he wanted to take care of before either hanging it up or moving on.

Has Jim Mora ever hinted about the possibility of leaving? I get the sense he is content at this point in his career to remain at UConn, but is there a chance he could accept an offer to coach elsewhere as Lovallo suggests is very possible? Maybe UConn does need to give him a more lucrative...

Actually, what Hurley said following the Arizona game was they "got punked" on the boards, which was true, as they got outrebounded by 20.

I agree with everything except one point: I believe Karaban will carve out a role at the next level.

Two crucial missed calls (or non- calls) cost us dearly: (1) The crazy pivot traveling multi-directional circus shot by Bradley (which even most Arizona fans are admitting was a travel) and (2) the equally obvious foul on Silas toward the end that was called a turnover.

I saw that too and agree, if that is the case, it would definitely affect his mechanics. They said he even got a warning from the refs.

Looking at the replay, Silas was fouled hard on that play- he clearly got bodied, but there was no call.

He IS good. Just didn't have his best game tonight. Other guys stepped up which, of course, is a strength of this team.

I agree with everything except "He (Dybantsa) is in a completely different galaxy from anyone else on the floor." There is some great players at the collegiate level, including some of our guys who are in the same galaxy, not to take anything away from Dybantsa.

I thought it was too, but on the replay you could see it was a clean pivot.

The announcer said it looked like it was his tailbone. He did appear a bit hobbled the rest of the way, but credit to Tarris for gutting it out. You could see there was no way he was leaving that game. Hopefully he'll be fine for Wednesday night.

Shout out to Connor for making a crucial play. If he doesn't snag the high snap and position it quickly and cleanly, that's 3 less points on the board and we all know what that would have meant.

What ends up being huge is the great play by the holder on the bad snap for Freeman's 29-yard field goal. Without that maybe we're going into the dreaded overtime again.
