Are you ready for this beating?

[nomar]

You're so bad at this. Reading it gave me that awkward embarrassed feeling you get for people when they do something cringeworthy and I hate that feeling.

I actually thought it was pretty well done. His only problem is that UConn has 4 titles in the last 17 years and Cincy hasn't been relevant since they annually underachieved in the 90s. Also, his handle: yikes.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Ohio State is pretty hard to get into.

But still easier than UConn.

 

[storrsroars]

This game needs lots and lots of Adams. He and Miller seem the only two capable of playing their game vs Cincy.

IMO, if we're going to win this tourney, it's Adams' time to take over. We need DHam's boards, but not his shooting... and he has to show up on D.

Take the DHam of yesterday's 2nd half anytime and I agree, JA has to step up in this one. As does AB and some physical minutes from Steve. All hands on deck for this one, love to say play smart and don't turn it over they win, but that's asking a lot.

Ive got no problem with OP. He's bringing the heat. Something that we have been entirely devoid of in the AAC. He laid it on the line and may look like a butt hole on Friday. Or he will be back to rub it in our noses.

God knows we've made them cry in the first two AAC tournaments.

 

[Marat]

God knows we've made them cry in the first two AAC tournaments.

And literally made Yancy Gates cry in the 2011 NCAA tournament 2nd round game against us.

UConn has never made the Tourney when led by a freshman point guard, going back to coach Rowe. Most of the teams led by Sophomore PGs failed to make it. Despite this, don't bet against Jalen getting it done.

 

[Robertelamin]

El-Amin?

 

[WhiteDressWes]

El-Amin?

Ricky Moore was a junior.

 

[Robertelamin]

So Jalen would count but El-Amin doesn't?

Jalen will just have to start a new tradition

 

[August_West]

Ricky Moore was a junior.

And sterling is a senior

Sterling is not a point guard

If this team had Khalid's running mate, we'd be a 3-seed

 

[August_West]

Sterling is not a point guard

Tell that to KO

 

[Bonehead]

Tell that to KO

Giggled out loud...

 

[Leebo]

Sterling is not a point guard

It doesn't really matter what he should be if he's playing the PG minutes.

 

[WhiteDressWes]

It doesn't really matter what he should be if he's playing the PG minutes.

My point is that UConn has a long history of not winning without an experienced point guard; Jalen will have to withstand the refs "letting them play", something that a veteran will be better able to deal with.

But that's not really saying much. You're really saying that UCONN doesn't have much history with having a frosh lead guard without an experienced compliment.

UCONN's only had a frosh PG lead (sans experienced guard) a few of times. Taliek was one (NIT). Doron had Ollie. And imo, KEA was the leader his frosh year, despite Ricky's presence.

 

[NaughtybyNapier]

UConn. Cincinnati. Friday. ESPN2. Is Husky nation excited as I am for the best rivalry in the AAC this Friday afternoon!? It's going to be so awesome sending UConn to the NIT! We've played twice this year and I thought it was obvious that Cincinnati was the better team on both occasions. UConn has a very storied basketball program but two straight absences from the NCAA Tournament? Wow. You'd have to think Kevin Ollie will be under a lot of pressure next season. In all seriousness I'll be rooting hard for the Huskies to win the NIT championship to help the AAC's perception nationally. Let's play a good, clean injury free game Friday!

Hi.
