That was the difference tonight. No Reed.

 

[DisabledVet]

So proud of our guys

 

[Jaydumo20]

Im only truly happy when we win. But not too upset here. Good fight. Can't wait for Reed and Mullins

 

[TheRealKBuks]

Not a ton to take from this game. Too many woulda coulda shouldas without Reed and Mullins. Hope to see them again. Credit to Arizona they played great.

What a fight!!! Eric Reibe was the Husky star of the game. We have a playa!!!

We're a team of really good parts.

 

[EricSD]

Well what a hell of a game. Fought and battled to the end. Down TWO starters. Up 1 late, Solo misses a dagger 3, then Silas turns it over on the next possession... I honestly thought anything better than a 10 point loss was a moral victory. These guys will be DANGEROUS when healthy.

Really great game and experience for Reibe. This will pay dividends in BE play and come March/April... But come on - 50% from the FT line??? I get it was mostly our 2 centers, so something to work on...

Never like to lose, but if there was one game that I think we can pretty much all stomach, this was it.

 

[Scottobot]

Valiant effort and great game by freshman Reibe. If we made FTs and open 3s we win

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Let it sting. Regroup.

Proud of the boys, though. Reibe stepped up admirably. Nice fight at the end.

 

[Kemba15]

We win with Reed, there’s no way they beat us that badly in the paint if he’s there. Solo hurt us tonight, especially with that terrible 3 up 1 when we had the momentum. Really can’t wait to see us fully healthy

 

[formerlurker]

Gampel fans, I hope this puts to rest your superiority over XL. Where were you?

 

[ec33]

Love this team already. Hopefully injuries don't derail what could be a special team.

 

[HuskyFich]

Offensive rebounds and FTs.

Lost the two categories we usually dominate.

Felt like a very beatable team at full health.

Should we start Reibe and Reed together? /s

Solo missed a terrible shot he shouldn’t have took

 

[Kenny11]

Good half court defense for the most part. Reibe had a great effort but nobody could rebound. Karaban hit one big 3 but other that he disappeared. 35 minutes and only 5 fga.

 

[Chasm64]

Peat is really good, especially at shoving.

 

[Iluvsuebird]

Okay, I said double digit win when I thought we were only one starter down!!! So proud of these boys!!! This team is not last year’s team boys!!!!

 

[Hi-Low]

Ball putting up a quick 3 with the lead late was the losing play. No reason to take that shot

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Reibe showed up.

Can’t be too upset under the circumstances ….but still upset.

 

[Dibbie]

Hyperbole: That Solo contested off balance 3 pointer up 1, under 2 minutes left, was worst shot in Husky history

 

[UConnTrumbull]

2003-04 team loses to Georgia Tech without Okafor. Beats them in national championship game.

Just saying

 

[Shabazzkets]

Great fight from the Huskies. The shot that will haunt me is Solo’s theee when we were up one late. Terrible shot selection, didn’t set his feet, we could and should have gotten a better look. Oh well.

 

[TWRpastabar]

Reibe played great. That being said getting out rebounded by 20 is not great. If Tarris Reed can walk I dont know how he misses that game.

 

[Dibbie]

Undermanned or not, I hate losing

 

[HailUConn]

The only bright spot: Reibe played his tails off and the kid is a player! We are solid at 5 when Reed is back.

 

[blkknight1]

Great effort by reibe tonight. He grew up a lot tonight, just needs to get stronger.

Solo needs to get his shot going 1 for 8 not gonna cut it.

Tarris' presence was sorely missed tonight got dominated on the boards. To many second chance points given up.

Free throws in a close game they can be tge difference, they hit theirs we didn't.

All that being still had a chance to take this down two of our better players.

 

[superjohn]

Frustrating on so many levels because we would've rolled that team if we were at full strength. Refs were bad and then Eric who was our player of the game has the ball roll off the rim in what should've been an and 1 to tie the game and then missed his ft's. Everyone needs to rally around Eric and let him know he's the reason we were in position to win that one.

The loss means nothing because we are nowhere near healthy but a missed opportunity to let everyone know we're the best team in the country. So bullish on this team, now get healthy and no more injuries.

 

[MJKI]

Solo is really an enigma. Great on the curl dribbles into the paint. Terrible 3 shot selection and the wide open ones aren’t falling. Tries harder on D but still a liability.
I would not have taken Smith out at the end. Bradley ate Silas’ lunch all day.

IMO that was a terrible shot selection by Solo, they had more time

 

[JMick]

Reibe was about the only bright spot tonight. We looked unsettled for most of the game. If we shoot better we win. If we don't foul so much we win. If we hit our FTs we win. Just a bad game but not a super discouraging loss
