Bouknight needs to have a great second half of this game if he wants to be remembered as a great Husky.

Regardless of how he played, it wasn’t his best and the game was there for the taking. I think the most apparent stat of this game was rebounding. Creighton dominated the boards and that hasn’t really happened often ... 50 to 33 will win you games

That was all related to Sanogo being out

Like DeAndre Daniel's?

No probably more like Caron Butler. You may remember him for "leaving too early" then being a top 10 pick then playing in the NBA for 15 years and winning a title
 
Bouk is a nice player, but I don't see the killer in him like some of our past greats.

Agree to an extent, his fouls were such lame calls, but he isn’t the only rebounder. Martin struggled tonight too. They got a lot of garbage putbacks when multiple guys went for blocks and nobody there to snag the board

I made a comment in the chat that he’s really looking like he’s too cool for everyone last few games, how he likes to walk around all slack and hanging his head and can’t take the moment seriously

Lol, Deandre inexplicably left early and wasn’t drafted until the 2nd round. Bouknight is going to be a lottery pick.

What a nonsensical comparison.

Similar body build, might yield the same reaults

Caron had a stronger body build

We have a lottery pick and we think he isn’t good enough. Everybody can’t be Kemba Walker. The kid is a stud, and we’re crapping on him. We deserve everything we get if this season ends bad. Some of you are pathetic. The kid was carried off of the court less than 24 hrs ago and came out tonight and gave his all

I don't like the Bouknight bashing, even though I thought his missed front end of 1x1 with a 5 pt lead was the turning point. UConn could've gotten themselves a nice cushion if he makes both of those.

Not everyone can be Kemba, Rip, Ok4, Ben Gordon. Plus their teams and supporting cast were much better than this team. I am not abandoning ship on this team, though. I still think they can get to the Sweet 16.
 
The great play great in the big moments. He didn’t rise to the occasion. Maybe he finds his groove in the Tourney, which would be great for him.

We’re going to get to the point as a program where we don’t need a superman(Kemba, shabazz) to win. Right now we still do. I believe Bouk is that guy. But he’s been through a lot this season. And none of our greats were dealt the hand Bouk has been dealt this year. Bazz had a boat, Kemba had a lamb, Bouknight had a....maybe Cole? And he wasn’t even available down the stretch. Let’s revisit this in 2 weeks
 
he’s gonna be a lottery pick

but anyone who witnessed ben gordon or kemba knows what’s up about the next level

I doubt it happens but Bouknight needs to return for his junior year. He has NBA talent but lacks an NBA body

Stop. Name one top 8 pick who has returned in the last 30 years not called tim Duncan.

Needs swagger, too. But maybe he finds that somewhere. I dunno.

He'll be a high draft pick and would be insane not to leave, but the question is what is his UConn legacy going to be?

As far as winning is concerned, he could be Caron, or he could be Daniel Hamilton.

Yeah. We know. He severely cramped up in the 1st half of Game 1. Making him ineffective.

Thanks doc. Second half but let's not be picky.

The guy couldn't walk. He was dehydrated and his muscles contracted severely. Asking a lot for him to recover and be in top physical condition in less than 24hours.

Ever watch him play? He looked weak tonight, less athletic. I can pretty much guarantee he will look much different next week

Unless he cramps up again.

Which of our stars were killers as the lead dog as a sophomore? I'm sure some were, but... I'm struggling to think of them.

Caron is probably the best answer. He did win the BET as a soph.

BG and Oak lost in BET as sophs.

Kemba was a junior.

Shabazz was a senior.

Ray lost in BET as a soph.

Richard Hamilton, always clutch and money his last two years.

This also ain’t Kemba’s big east

Just sayin
 
The bigger issue is we don’t do enough to get him open. He’s always struggling for space or shooting through immense traffic. Our screens don’t seem to do enough. The kid is busting his butt to get an open shot. He takes some bad shots, definitely did tonight. But we all want the ball in his hands when it matters. Need to get him some lanes.
