Message: [QUOTE="Icehawk, post: 4873889, member: 10615"] It was loud on TV, we could hear the chants - but yes, the 2nd half for the most part was quieter. I think it was a combo of getting punched in the mouth right before halftime, the halftime wait, the later hour for our senior fans :p, and the fact the game was tight but there was never too much worry. Butler is scrappy as hell and one I thought could have gone the other way so I'm glad to see the team was able to keep it going. Loved Stewart's block, grab, and push downcourt. I thought it as interesting that Hurley had them play small ball for a few minutes at the end of the 2nd half. Didn't need to so I guess he wanted to throw a different look at Butler to disrupt them. Johnson needs more defensive work, he's gotta stop holding jerseys - he had a blatant one right when we got a TO that I thought for sure we were going to get a momentum stopping whistle on. Over the backs too much as well. I know he doesn't have a lot of experience, so I hope he continues to improve rapidly. That's how we seem to go - the other squad tries to rally and goes on a run, UConn stops it and responds. The consistent response is why I haven't worried too much this season because even when another team claws back... I know UConn has something in the tank. [/QUOTE]
