11 for 17 from 3. I can't get that stat out of my head. If you also count the 2x we fouled Teddy from 3 and he coveted all 6 free throws 13 for 19. I know we didn't come to play in first half but the Aggies haven't shot that well from beyond the arc all year. Unreal
 
Sure sure that doesn’t matter when we let 1 guy go for basically 40…

He had a balanced game...
12 points from inside arc
12 points from outside arc
13 points from FT line
 
The kid was sensational. We didn't play bad defense, he couldn't miss. In the first half he made two closely guarded back to the basket fade away 17 foot two pointers. He made no space, contested, moving, deep threes. Those suggesting we were unprepared or unmotivated or played bad defense just don't understand what they're watching

For one game, he was the GOAT.

Every teams “best player” has a GOAT game against UCONN. Happens all the time.

Should have changed our defensive strategy early on him aka send a double and make the decision to pass for him,

OK, I thought we did all of that. I thought we started the game doing that. I think Hurley's plan was to stop Allen from the outset, he just couldn't be stopped last night

I agree with Horatio. In fact I said that in a post over a week ago. No I cannot name them. However, it has happened a few times a year. Kid makes one tre all year then against us he knocks down 8. In fact I recall a few times over the years it was a bench player.

He wasn’t going to pass. He was going to throw up shots all game, that’s his game, he’s a volume shooter… last night the outside shots fell.

This. People are way overstating defensive issues. We had offensive issues but they made almost every shot tough. Allen shot tons of objectively bad shots and made almost all of them. Not sure exactly what else defensively you can do there.

Good players make tough shots. I’m not saying he didn’t get some luck, he certainly did, but you have to get the ball out of his hands. Send another defender, stop switching bigs onto him, etc.

The defense was fine. Like you said, Allen made tough shots, and got bailed out on a terrible three (by us) and a wild runner (by the refs). He could have scored 37 points and his team still lost by 10+ if Sanogo finished better and our offense came alive before the 18 minute mark in the second half.

The refusal to play guys with 2 fouls by Hurley is so frustrating. Yeah scoring more than 22 points would help but it's not a coincidence that Allen started going off as soon as Jackson came out
Expand ...
Jackson couldn't stay in front of him. He missed like 3 layups against him before he got in foul trouble, it wasn't good defense.

There’s a difference between good players make tough shots and dude hit every shot. Outside of completely selling out to deny him and leaving yourself open to easy baskets from other guys, hard to say what else should have been done. Allen took mostly bad shots. The shots on 19/20 days that we’d have been totally happy forcing him to take.

Didn't help that the support cast shot 7 for 10 from 3

Exactly. It’s beyond common knowledge at this point and I remember your post. It happens a lot. I’m not gonna go do the forensics to prove what most of know.

I didn’t say every game lol. You’re riding on a poster hyperbolizing and thinking it’s a ‘gotcha’. It’s happened pretty often that mediocre-to-okay players tend to just go off against us.

I can't stand hyperbole and it's been ridiculous the past 12 hours.

Whaley led us in scoring in the first Creighon game. Had we pulled that out, I imagine BlueJay fans would've been bitching about the same thing. It happens.

Kalk's big game came about the same time Adama "lost" his ability to go vertical on both ends. Turns out Kalk is actually pretty damned good.

If i’m not mistaken that was Kalk’s highest scoring game of the year. I’m not saying its some conspiracy or anything, that’s ridiculous. But it is true and seems to happen somewhat often that alright players have career games against us.

We all know Adama had some bonehead mistakes, no timeout was called on the Cole trap, and Allen didn't miss a FT.

We simply couldn't get over the hump.

Tie ball game: 4:50 left, Henry hits a big contested three.
Tie ball game: 1:40 left, Allen hits another ridiculous rainbow three.
NMST up 3: 27 sec left, Whaley doesn't slide and Allen gets And-1 layup.

That’s your ball game. NMST made shots/plays when they mattered most.

OK, but I'd suggest that calling Allen an "alright" player would be not dissimilar to calling Allen Iverson the same. Volume shooter, streaky, and in Allen's case, seems to do better against P5s than his own conference (went off for 41 vs PSU last year).

Anyway, if there's one consolation, it's that Allen likely won't see a dime of income playing pro with his personal history, especially with Russia hoops off the table.

And just for the hell of it, remember when Darryl Wilson went off for 7-11 from 3 back in 1996 to end our season?

Do you remember a player named Jeremy Lin? Well Linsanity started against UCONN when he played for Harvard. He destroyed us. And let’s not forget about our lose to Yale a while back when their guard had an insane night against us. Like I said, it’s common knowledge and goes back for years.
