Possibly that Ross gets the most challenging defensive assignments.

And if Creighton and Providence end up tied???

Who are you excited about when shooting an open 3 pointer? Right now the order is Mullins, Demery and Ross with a decent drop to Ball and Karaban. Mullins, Demery, Ross and Reed should start w/ the 5th starter being an opponent match up decision (big, small, ball handler, rebounder). Ball...

good defense is anticipation...not reaction. Solo reacts and is seemingly a 1/2 step behind. Mullins puts himself in similar situations but has more athletic skill to make up for the errors.

A slow developing inbound play with multiple screens does not work with a 5 second count. Inbounding against these athletes has to be quick and decisive. Too often UConn is left with no options after the screening fails to work, then desperation results. Just stop overthinking what needs to...

100% agree. 23 and 24 had shot blocks and steals from defensive standouts that initiated fast breaks and transition points. We have neither this year. Ross and Demery are the closest "athletes" to 23 and 24.

My only beef is being ranked below Iowa St. Following their consecutive losses to Kansas by 21 (who UConn beat) and Cincinnati (.500 team at 57 in Kenpom), Iowa St has won 5 straight against teams with a combined 18-33 in conference record. No rational reason for Iowa St to jump other 2 loss...

I think Duke jumps UConn. Close road loss to a higher ranked team. Not seeing ISU making a big move. Beat a bad Baylor team by 3 at home. Ariz Mich Hou Duke UConn ISU - it is tough to rank them above other 2 loss teams w/ a loss to a sub-500 Cincy.

2-6 xs 8-10 from the line

Clingnan averaged 13 minutes as a freshman. Reibe is currently averaging 16.4 minutes with 21, 19, adn 17 in the last three games. Which big gets the minutes will depend on matchups

From a pedigree standpoint based on prior offers the defensive backfield transfers w/ Bell, Kane, Dorilas and Miller is looking strong. Young w/o a lot of experience, but the athleticism is there.

Very nice pick up. Players/agents are discovering that getting on the field early pays dividends whether you stay at the school of choice or transfer again. UConn is taking advantage of that.

Looked at his stats at UConn. Made the mistake of looking at the game log from 2021. Reminded of the 1-11 season w/ the only win being a 6 point victory over Yale. UConn has come a long way.

That is tough. I remember walking off the mound after my last college game wishing it could continue. I didn't continue for me because I wasn't good enough. For this to happen to such a talented player is so sad.

In the ESPN Top 100 NBA Draft Prospects Reibe is ranked 37. Others - Mullins 10, Karaban 35, Ball 53, and Reed 70.
