that Euro dude(not even going to try to spell his name) and the ridiculous shooting of their entire tema in the 1st half had me experiencing flashbacks of Royce White and Iowa State, dude's game was damn near identical to White's. This team had many opportunities to fold up and die but nutted up and pulled out the win. Pretty much everyone on the floor contributed key plays down the stretch, nobody was a bystander.

It wasn't pretty and we could play better. The defense in first half was pretty shocking. But they gutted it out nicely.
I'm excited about Daniels game lately. Several good games in a row.

That guy just hucked it up there and it would go in. Was ridiculous. I was just shaking my head that whole first half.

nice to win a game when so many things are not to the script. We get so few free throws (in regualation), they make way more free throws than usual, and after a month of really good defense, we win despite seriously crappy defense.

Martelli got just about everything out of a 5 player team that played well. Forced Oliver (I always figured Ollie was just a nickname) to coach well and a 7 man rotation to play as a team.T he turning point was Ignoring William Shea, which unaccountably logged me out. I was so upset that I shifted to Facebook, where a high school friend had posted "C'mon UConn" and I was compelled to click Like.

I was having flashbacks of the big guys from George Mason posting up and scoring at will.

Exhausting. Kanasevik fouling out helped a lot but we did everything we had to do in OT to win this game. Now on to an old BE game with Nova and we can win that one too.
You are so right about Kanasevik's fouling out helping UConn. He was a handful and did a pretty masterful job of quarterbacking their offense. He was quite impressive and with him out, our path in overtime was considerably easier. Our guys again showed some serious grit even though they played less than their best over much of the game. I think St. Joes had something to do with it as they played admirable ball. Their coach surely reminds me of Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein. Anybody else see the resemblance?????

Brimah looked so composed on that final free throw in regulation. He just stepped up and stroked it. How about 15-16 from the foul line in OT. Lotsa ballz.
I was so thrilled with his play tonight and though I was concerned when he went to the line, he looked as smooth as could be in his release and SWISH! What a wonderful feeling seeing those free throws drop!
