Great. You have to be happy with that. A win on the road.

The offense looked like it understood what it wanted to do. Adams gets better by the game, he is becoming a special player.

A very pleasant evening.

Looks like somebody hacked Palatine's account.

Adams is already a special player. Tighten up the occasional slop and mix in a touch of end game clutch potion (he has had a few dramatic shots just miss this year) and you have more than special you have a top 3 player in the country.
We must have him back next year.

Is that your way of complimenting KO's coaching?

Offense was fantastic. 19 asts on 26 field goals. 50% from the field overall & 60% from 3. KO was yelling directions the entire game. Great game by players and coaches.

He keeps this growth curve going and I don't think he will be.

You're on the wrong board Palatine!

Yes. Very few bad shots. Sometimes you take the right shot and it doesn't go in. Last night a lot of them went in, but the offense flowed better than I've seen in a while regardless of the opposition. We should give Rodney a shout out. He was huge in the second half.

Starting to worry.

Gave you a like for the shout out.

Disagree about the offense. The flow has not been the problem. Flow always seems different and better when the ball goes through the hoop, but the offense has been running pretty much the same way since Jalen returned from his concussion and even a few games before the concussion.

Yesterday Kentan played exactly like he did in the Northeastern and the Wagner games as well as the Maui tournament. He missed wide open shots. @champs99and04 kind of lost it ( very unusual for him) wanting KO not to play Kentan anymore after the Maui tournament. champs wasn't alone by a long shot. Then Kentan started making shots and people started separating him from Brimah and Purvis. A chorus of voices that insisted KO couldn't develop players because all the seniors lacked development changed to why didn't KO play Kentan more in the past.

Well there is some validity to the flow improving. Teams collapsed their defenses on UConn because UConn was pretty close to the bottom in the nation making 3pt shots.

Even Vance struggle pre conference play. He was the first to start hitting shots and that helped. The past couple of games Rodney shot better and yesterday Vital had a great 3 pt shooting night and even Jalen hit a couple. Once UConn started making threes the interior opens up and Jalen can penetrate easier.

But it still comes down to shots going in. The coaching and style of play hasn't changed much from earlier in the season.

Yup. Even when we lose the offense has looked good just as far as being able to get the shots we want. We've just been bad at knocking them.

This is UConn's anthem this year...



"Last night took an L but tonight we bounce back"

Plus the clips of the Husky liking it's chops... "The underdog just turned into the wolf and the hunger steady grows"

He needs to lose that pouty streak when things don't go his way.

We haven't seen it since early this season, so maybe it's gone. It is certainly under far better control than, oh say, Grayson Allen's tripy streak.

It has been gone. He's coaching on the floor now. I expect we see it again occasionally. Bazz had it through the end. Jalens demeanor is very similar. Must be a Boston thing . Once you earn the respect of your teammates and I think jalen has now, it doesn't cause as much dissension. It took bazz until junior year to get there.
