Message: [QUOTE="Rocktheworld, post: 4873999, member: 5037"] I’m in Boston now and didn’t feel like making the trip for the game given the late start. Been to every other XL game and two Gampel games. Also went to UConn 08-12. Seemed like a ghost town watching on TV outside of a few moments, as others have noted here. SJU was a decent crowd, but otherwise it’s more quiet between big moments. That’s what you get with such a pathetically small student section in a stadium that’s a 25 minute drive from campus. I’m officially puzzled as to what the coaches are seeing that’s leading to Solo getting so few minutes. I get that he mainly played earlier in the season because Castle was hurt, and I know that he loses his man on defense from time to time; but his effort is clearly there and he has potential to score. He’s shown flashes in multiple games. I hope that now with GTown and DePaul coming up he can get some minutes and stay confident. Newton is officially in a slump. But luckily Cam has been on fire in his absence. Cam continues to be an excellent floor manager with and without the ball, knowing where everyone will be and manipulating space to get himself or others open. Clingan finally had a big game against a real opponent and didn’t really sniff foul trouble. The reds were letting them play, but I didn’t notice many plays where I thought that he got away with anything crazy besides maybe a couple potential over-the-back. [/QUOTE]
