BC Post Game Thread

Rebounding needs work. Reibe needs to dunk and play stronger. Smith is a very good back up point guard. Our fast break looks better organized. We got lots of good looks but really need to take the ball to the basket more and more effectively when we do. Maybe Demary can be that player. Has Mullins ever missed a free throw? Kid looks pretty good. Lots to feel good about.
 
Who was the player on BC with that God awful looking Euro step? He was so awkwardly uncoordinated it threw the UConn defender off every time.

I understand that, SJ.

But you can’t tell me he looked like “a big athletic guy” out there compared to the other players.

I’m not disparaging him, just explaining why people call him sneaky athletic.
 
- Koroma and Milledner looked like serviceable emergency options at center and point guard respectively.

- Ball took it to the rim successfully three times I think. That was encouraging to see.

- Our point guard play is going to be signficantly upgraded this season and I feel comfortable saying that without Demary even playing.

- Ross did have a nice stint in the second half but I thought he and Stewart looked like largely the same players unfortunatley.

- Reibe needs to play a little stronger going to the basket but looks like he can contribute. Reed would have feasted inside tonight.

- Generated so many open looks but the shooting was cold. As others have stated, I would like to see them switch gears and drive or dump it inside when the threes aren't falling.

- Generally took good care of the ball. I'm going to estimate that we had fewer than 10 turnovers.

- Its obviously very early, but the fouling looked like last year. How many foul shots did Hand Jr have?

I'm just hoping Stew doesn't leave Uconn a total bonehead. If only he could swap his space cadet with some of Ross' spasticity, might just have something.
 
If that is our backup point guard and backup backup point guard, that problem has obviously been fixed. 9 pts. 9 assists, 1 turnover.

I doubt we see many other games where Ball, Karaban and Mullins go 6 - 25 (24%).

Reibe is a lot stronger than I thought and definitely has some BB IQ. Reed and he will be a really solid duo - better than last year.

Definitely need to cut down the fouls - that was the big problem tonight (and last year). That may have something to do with Reed out. Easier to attack the paint.

The depth will definitely challenge some teams.

Calm down on offense and hit those open looks, play that intense defense without fouling and we're going places.
 
I went to a wake tonight so I heard the beginning on the radio. What did they say about Tarris's injury. The radio said Demery was day to day and Reed was out indefinitely with a hamstring injury.
 
Plus Ross looked very solid and like the player we hoped he would be - at least in flashes.
Reibe solid
Mullins a stud
Back up guard came to play - nice addition to the team!

Minus Colum?

Team stank it up from outside and missed so many shots. Woefully painful to watch at times.

The mojo wasn’t there and offensively - clank, clank, clank and not what I was expecting from this group. Solo was not where I thought he would be in terms of shots going down and seemed to get beat off dribble quite a bit.

Hopefully just them getting the dust off.

No reason to be overly concerned but I didn’t come away thinking this looked like a top 5 team.

But again it doesn’t matter - exhibition game…
 
Game went as expected.. flashes from Mullins & Reibe & the usually production from Karaban… not bothered by the lack of attacks on the rim on drives bc that will come from Silas & Reed will feast on the post which will get us FT attempts … I was hoping to see some more of the Euro kid seeing that Reed was out & I wanted to see Reibe on a few p&f plays maybe even attempt a 3… Stew looks slot more confident & I love Ross’s energy

All in all good reps for the guys as a tune up
 
I thought Reibe did not show much hops when he had the ball down low. As a freshman at 7'1" and 260 maybe this is to be expected but a little elevation would help his game inside. Had many lineup combinations tonight and most looked good. We have a very athletic team. The shooting from deep needs to be better. Remember our poor 3 point shooting (Karaban, Solo, and McNeeley) led to the loss against Florida last year. Tonight was a nice start while missing 2 starting players. It gave minutes to players who needed to show their value.
