Baylor Post Game Thread

Winning ugly is still winning.

 

[HuskyFich]

WE WON A CLOSE GAME

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Ooh that felt good. Samson and Mahaney have drawn quite a bit of flack here (from myself as well) but both did what this team needed them to do tonight.

 

[ec33]

Still undefeated on the continent.

 

[Mr. French]

Great W. Team has plenty to clean up still, but that’s actually encouraging. They won against a top 15 team playing their B game at best.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Did everything we possibly could to give it away, but I’ll take it. Double bigs for the win!!

 

[1999GoodSon]

WE'RE BACK!

 

[Mister P]

Big win for the psyche of the players and fans.
Even though he fouled out, my game ball goes to Samson for his all around game. Fought hard with Baylor’s bigs, scored 13 with 4 rbs, 2 blocks and was energized throughout.
McNeeley was also deserving while Reed and Mahaney also provided solid play.

Let’s get Alex back and head to a state where we love to play in.

That was a thing of beauty as far as I'm concerned. Huge, huge win. Showed a ton of gyts. And Hurley won a close game!

 

[HailUConn]

I'm happy Liam came to Storrs.

 

[housekeys]

In before the first/next three-peat post.

 

[uh-no]

great win. infinitely more fight than this team gave in the latter two games in maui.

 

[Kembafan]

Reed and Stewart were both excellent. Need more of Stewart. And Solo needs to learn how to stay in front of his man.

Also, I love Robert Wright. We need a guy like that.

We saw a ton of things that were very good to see. Deep breathes of some relief instead of trying to calmi the anxiety.

 

[Brochacho]

Mahaney! Still tough to watch on defense but timely offense. Solo and Ross? Oof.

Great win. Great things on tape to correct. It’s Texas time.

 

[aceboon]

Our fans gotta learn proper home court decorum, why are you chanting about the Baylor player fouling out when Diarra is shooting game clinching free throws? I swear I saw McNeeley look up to the crowd like wtf are y'all doing after Diarra missed the first one.

 

[NewBlood]

Ball is a problem
Ross is a problem

Tough win. good game by the big men and Liam. Hasan needs to get his act together. Mahaney with a break out game.

Baylor is good, that win will matter

Win the next 3 and Maui did not matter

 

[uchusky32]

Needed this one. Got to work on Ball's D. We played a little scared at the end.

 

[HooperScooper]

The anti Johnson people need to apologize. For 1 day at least. Was big on both ends. He fouled out again but not until late and it didn't seem the foul trouble impeded his play.

 

[TRest]

We’re so back. For today, anyway.

 

[BlueWolf25]

Big win to boost confidence and get things back on track. Wasn’t always pretty, but got it done. Love seeing Mahaney, Samson, and McNeeley have big games

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

I enjoy winning more than losing

 

[husky429]

A win is a win is a win. Tons of heart tonight, especially from Reed, Diarra, and McNeeley.

 

[Palatine]

We'll take it. They us showed some backbone after going down 11 in the first half.

We played our first defense of the year in the second half. Happy to see it.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Great win. Sluggish at the end. But I'll take this win any day.

Lets gooo Connecticut!!!

McNeeley really stepped up as a shot creator tonight. A couple of his misses were pretty obvious fouls that went uncalled and would have added to the total. Great game from him.

 

[navery12]

Winning ugly is still winning.

Was it really winning ugly? I feel like after the first few minutes that was a very impressive performance

 

[Vowelguy]

Love McNeeley, but also love listening to Raftery on games.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Really needed that. Baylor IMO is good not great and were missing some, as we were with AK, but we need that one.

McNeeley is real good, Jaylin was a bright spot and overall our bigs played well. Defense was a lot better in the 2nd half other than last couple mins. No clue why Ahmad is back nailed to the bench, especially when Hassan was no good for a lot of the game.

Solo is an awful defender. He can hit some shots, but I don’t think there has ever been a guard with his physical profile this bad defensively. On top of his lack of skill, he has no focus. Hurley has a decision to make methinks. Ross was awful and got the boot, Solo was arguably more detrimental and got all the mins. It’s all a bit confusing.

Again, really needed that win. Proud of the boys shorthanded. Still a ton to work on. On to the next.

 

[Leebo]

Means a lot to clamp down and close it out without Karaban.
