A Few Thoughts

Thanks to Gilbert who kept the game close in an ugly first half. He can't shoot like that always but as long as he's better than what he has been.

Per Borges... initial report was he was "banged up" but after the game apparently Hurley said something along the lines that "the freshmen can't take anything for granted". Maybe sending a message? Idk. Apparently in line to start again Sunday.

From Borges's article this morning.

Brendan Adams made his first collegiate start, in place of Akok Akok. It was the Huskies’ fourth different starting lineup this season, but expect Akok back in the starting lineup on Sunday against Cincinnati at Gampel Pavilion.

“That was a one-time thing,” Hurley said. “We’re on our way to building a championship organization. On your way to doing that, with the young players, there are teaching and learning moments along the way. There’s a standard these three freshmen have to learn to uphold, of how a championship organization operates. We’ve got to get that message across to our players. You have to do everything right in a championship-level program. It was just a teaching moment for Akok.”

Dear UConn, thank you for beating Tulsa, at Tulsa. I'm not sure I could have ever gotten over having an 0-fer at their place.

That would be worse than Notre Dame football being O'fer against UConn.
