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'm instantly going to regret this, but who is William Shea?

I was having flashbacks of the big guys from George Mason posting up and scoring at will.
 
Can someone please make a gif of that brimah celebration after his and 1?

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!

Great effort tonight, and a gritty win. UConn won these types of games under Calhoun, it's great omen to see them win like this under Ollie.

I have to admit that I was worried early on. St Joes was beginning to look like a bad match up for the Huskies. On the one hand I was thinking "this isn't going our way", on the other hand I was thinking "I've seen UConn win lots of games that didn't appear to be going their way".

Should be a good game against 'Nova on Saturday, but Milwaukee is staying in it so far.

St Joe's played great defense, they did a nice job of keeping the UConn offense off balance until OT. St Joe's also did a nice job on offense, they got too many good looks, but they earned them with nice passing.

St Joe's wins this game against 90% of the teams out there, but UConn never panicked. They hit timely 3's, hung around, and took over once St Joe's got in foul trouble. Nice win.

To me Martelli resembles that tall, bald character actor from the B horror movies like "The Hills Have Eyes" and the role of one of the Mad Max bikers that crashed the party in "Weird Science "

It was huge that they were able to get that 10 point lead to 5 at the end of the first half, unlike the L'ville game where they got blown out at the end of the half. Great, gutty win!

I think you'd need to add some Ernest Borgnine to that to get it just right.
