It seems like he's hunting for fouls on threes instead of trying to make the shot

He was actually fouled though.

I dont think Raftery's eyes are working anymore.

Solo was fouled on those 3s.

Does anyone doubt that Silas's turnover late would've been called a foul if that was Bradley dribbling into the lane against Silas?
 
Obviously upset that we lost a winnable game but overall not too worried about it.We got significantly outplayed for about 5 minutes to start the second half. For the other 35 minutes it was pretty even while missing our starting center and our 5* freshman

We got outrebounded by 20. I’m okay chalking that up to missing Tarris and moving on

We missed 9 FTs in a 4 point loss. That’s a big one. 7 of those 9 misses were Reibe (33% FT shooter) and Koroma (49% career FT shooter). I know what they’ll be working on tomorrow

Solo has a buy game to find his shot. He’s really struggled from three and now it feels like he’s rushing and losing confidence (hunting for fouls). But that midrange is money

Silas is the real deal. He’s going to be so good.

Shoutout Reibe. He was thrown in a really difficult position tonight. He certainly had his mistakes but he was growing up in real time. Buying stock on him

Shrug and move on. That was a fun game to watch. Let’s go Huskies!
 
Smith is a good backup PG. People need to lay off.
Riebe is a good (and rapidly improving) backup C.
This team has all the ingredients.
What I don't like is how easy it was for AZ to mitigate AK. Then of course Solo didn't make them pay.
Whenever we attacked the paint, our offense looked good. When we swung it around waiting for AK or Solo to shake loose, we stalled.

A lot of good tape, proud of the guys for not folding down 13. Changes nothing. 100% championship material.

Reibe and Stew were the only two bright spots from this game.

Karaban, Solo and Demary Jr were no show tonight. Which can't happen, especially with Reed out.

Onward and upward.

Love what I saw from Reibe, though. The bench is going to cause problems once we get Mullins and Reed back.

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

Yes a really bad three, but he hit some nice pull-up jump shots
 
Malachi brought a spark defensively when he came in with 5:42 left and we were down by 6. In the four minutes he played we then went up by 2.
I understand why Demary was brought back in but maybe we don’t get out scored 8-3 to end the game if Smith stayed in…who knows.

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.

No moral victories, this is UConn!
 
Arizona did what top 5 teams are supposed to do; take advantage an injured team. Actually Reed being out was a blessing in disguise. Riebe became a Man tonight.

On paper this will show a loss but actually it wasn't. Much was revealed about our team handling adversity this game, as Reed seemingly was late decision.

I have no complaints, because I saw something tonight in our team against a worthy opponent.

Neither Reed nor Mullins were the reason we didn't win. FREE THROWS. Period.

Well. Played blah. Stunk at the line. Got crushed in the glass. Alex saw physical play so vanished. Solo still slumping from 3. But reibe arrived and our bench played well. Missing 2 starters and reed just in the floor would change a ton of things. I can live with this one.

Solo's 3ball is officially a concern, hasn't shot it well in any games including exhibitions and if it wasn't for some of the after the release foul calls that really didn't impact the shot the % would be even worse. Doing well off the middies and attacking the basket but the offense works too hard to get Solo open 3s to continuously miss damn near all of them.
Expand ...
Maybe spent off season working on D and getting to the rim and didn’t practice his bread and butter 3 ball?

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.

That’s the one problem scheduling these games early as coaches will be cautious with injured players. He’s playing if it’s January

Yep, Hartford would have been a lot louder.

The crowd mic on Fox was super quiet. Couldn’t even really hear whistles.

Same thing in this Illinois-Alabama game now. Stojakavic just flushed on a guy after a blocked shot and the crowd was barely noticeable.
