Alleyne appreciation thread

[August_West]

Will be X factor tonite.. Need him to show up..

We will need him badly. He is strong enough to handle some of the Arkansas athletic mismatches.

Agree.. And he's one of our guards who has the ability to get his own shot if offensive sets break down or get blown up.. He's showing the staff that Dan's confidence in him over the course of season is paying dividends.. All good and at the right time..

Edit: Not as reliant on catch and shoot as some of our other guards/wings.

 

[Waquoit]

And he has big game experience before this year.

Alleyne’s last 13 games:

5.9p, 1.2 3PM, 40.5 3p%, 9 TO, 18 mpg

IMO, I’d love Alleyne back for a fifth-year. Just a solid shooting guard with high BBIQ and holds his own on defense.

Completely agree.

Hope he comes back.

He is an asset offensively, just need to stay within himself, I like him being aggressive, but just needs to limit early shot clock aggressiveness.

He is a huge asset defensively in certain matchups. This will be one of them.

I’d really like to have him back next to Castle with Newton.
It would put us in excellent shape

 

[Huskiefan23]

His defense might be the best part about him. He was locking up Mahaney when he came in.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I know my brain is gradually turning in to mush, but do I seem to recall Alleyne even playing some PG and running the offense the past few games?

 

[gsmooth]

Alleyne is kicking arse in his role. I love it.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Physically capable player. Any shots he hits is a bonus. He played solid tonight

 

[3rdbass]

His shot has been money for the last few weeks. Really important to have that with Joey C. being so erratic.

Joey is 16/31 from 3 since he didn't get into the Seton Hall game. We're 8-1 in that stretch. It's kinda wild to track our season based on our 9th man, but it lines up pretty well...

Love Alleyne. He really came into his own during the second half of the season after a slow start initially, would be awesome to have him back next year.

Ok I'm wrong on Joey C( I see 21-54 since Seton Hall) but it just seems to be in a funk the last few games since Marquette while Alleyne has been more consistent plus Joey C is not great on D like Alleyne is.

 

[aburks41]

I want Alleyne and Newton back next season. They are both very good at the roles they are asked to do. That 3 pointer Alleyne hit to put us back up 25 points was the ultimate dagger. Arkansas had cut it to 19 and then back to back Hawkins and Alleyne 3’s took every last bit of hope they had and squashed it

 

[mauconnfan]

Underrated piece again last night. On both ends! Glad he found confidence for our Huskies last 1/3 of the season!

This is why I kept voting for you.
