Everything you’d want as a confidence booster. Everyone played well. Rebounding was dominant. Assist to turnover ratio was outstanding. Nice win!

 

[JakeTheDog]

More Roumoglou.

Going to be much fewer comments on this post game thread compared to Wednesdays

Clingan went 0-4 from the free throw line. Wonder if Samson is going to cut into his minutes.

Are we fixed or is Butler that bad (and depleted)? We'll find out on Wednesday.

Either way, a good note on which to go into that season-defining game.

19 threes attempted might be the lowest on the season.

Saw a lot more offense dedicated on getting to the rim and a lot more drives. Saw a few backdoor cuts too.

More FTs attempted than threes attempted.

Sanogo passed the ball MUCH better today. Overall so much different than what we’ve seen during Big East play. Hopefully we keep this play up against Xavier. If we do with their big then we might have our season back.

UConn needed that.

The BY needed that.

I needed that.

The big question- can we sustain and our new normal is back to our old normal or was this an outlier??? Please let’s keep this going !!!

 

[Umami Zen]

My two cents-- Played with a sense of urgency for close to 40 minutes.. Great team D/Boards..Sharing the ball unselfishly.. Andre actually looking for his shots-- Newton going to the hoop.. Good to see Samson getting some reps..

Lets take care of biz with X on Wed..

If we beat Xavier there will be a ton of comments and positivity. This was a practice game, it's nice we destroyed them because we needed a win and some confidence but the team needs Wednesday.

That looked like the team that was #2 in the country. Same with the team in the first half of the Seton Hall game. Maybe we’re turning the corner? Much needed confidence boost going into Xavier. See you all at Gampel!

Kligan’x punishment is to practice free throws. Jim C did that to the en5ire team at least once.

Yes to both questions

 

[Cardiac]

That was a drubbing; finally felt like the dominant team again.

He'll cut into Karaban's minutes.

……..Should have went to the “Connecticut” jerseys after the Providence game.

 

[USNavyDog]

Uconn was great today but they still need to prove that they can finish games against the best teams in the Big East.

I don't think Butler has the roster strong enough that can exploit Uconn's weak areas. Even St Johns and Seton Hall have a much better equipped roster than Butler to give the Huskies problems scoring and playing solid defense.

But Uconn still needed this win to boost mental confidence and get their playmaking squared away. Hopefully it carries over into a much tougher rematch against Xavier.

 

[UconnU]

Love the self awareness of Coach Hurley going with the muzzle.

 

[HailUConn]

Back to win column. Felt like ages.

I’m pretty sure he told Newton to “just do your own thing.” And it worked, Newton played well and the team played well around him.

A nice problem to have, but more like giving him a well needed rest. As a frosh, he's averaging most MPG on the team. Might save his legs a bit and hopefully his shooting becomes even better than it already is.
