BYU Post Game Thread

We're really good, BYU didn't miss a damn shot the last 8 or so minutes. We need to finish the teams off which will come but we're really damn good.

They switched me to the Women’s game with 7 minutes to go🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

 

[Conndog]

Did Tarris look dinged up a bit with his ankle/foot from the fall he had under the basket?

 

[Nameless]

Entertaining game, even if the end was much more stressful than it needed to be. Credit Dybantsa for making some tough shots and being aggressive after a slow start. Refs helped him out with some calls but he showed why he is a projected top pick.

Lot to love from UConn. Reed was a monster again (hope he's OK, looked like a tailbone injury the way he was moving around after that fall) and showed a lot of heart staying in the game despite the pain. Silas had some really great takes, got to the line a ton and had an all around great game. AK had an amazing game in front of a ton of pro scouts, really happy for him and the team needed it tonight.

We're this good and we aren't even fully healthy. Dangerous team

 

[CL82]

A lot of tape for the coaches to work with. For now, I will just be happy with the win over a top 10 opponent

 

[Man's Field]

Kodiak.

Reed had a noticeable limp after his late game fall. Hopefully it's minor.

 

[uconntoatl]

UConn up 18. Refs, “This is getting out of hand. Time to call every touch foul known to mankind on UConn”

Dybansta’s post move on AK was clearly a travel he used 2 different pivot feet

 

[uchusky32]

Good win. Shouldn’t have been that close. Seems we were not running our offense as effectively in the second half. Got tired? Not cutting hard. We need more of Salis going to the rim. He seems to have a good midrange game. We’re not focused when we play prevent offense.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

We have some not ready for prime time players, hope that changes.

Karaban, Reed and Silas 21 points each. Ross and Stewie locked down Dybantsa for one half. I never expected a blowout even when we were up 20. This BYU team is good good.

 

[huskyfan224]

Never should’ve been this close. Yea, we beat a top 10 team, but that team didn’t play a starter and their big was out of commission early in the game. Yes, we are down Mullins, so that can somewhat of a wash…

I dislike blowing a 20 point lead. Very bad finish to this game, but happy with the dub no matter what

 

[DawgEnjoyer]

Wild ending, AJ was shooting like he was wearing the magic glasses.

He was soaking shots down the stretch

 

[Shine21]

Solo has to be smarter than he was today. That was a boneheaded foul that spark their run.

Also, the stage looked a little too big for Stew. He looked nervous throughout the game.

Can't wait to get Mullin back. The shooting and spacing he'll provide will do wonders for the offense.

Sloppy first 5

Great next 20

Sloppy next 10(should have put them away in this time span)

Clutch last 5 by Demar, Jr. He’s that guy we didn’t have last year.

Team needs to clean up all the stupid fouls
early in the half. Putting teams in the bonus for 12mins is gonna burn them in the ass.

Thought they went away from Reed who was just having his way down low all game though.

 

[temery]

This game solidifies what an absolute stud Silas is. What a pickup by the staff.

Where'd he come from again?

Dybansta post move on AK was clearly a travel he used 2 different pivot feet

I was thinking to myself “I officially don’t know what a travel is anymore” when I saw that. 😅

 

[SouthBayHusky]

Fox is horrible. Literally switches to women’s basketball in the final stretch of the game.

 

[navery12]

I think we took our foot off the gas a little bit, but I think people are massively overreacting to that 2nd half. BYU is a very good team. If the roles were reversed and made a big comeback in the 2nd half I don't think we'd be saying it was because BYU stopped trying

 

[JMick]

Where'd he come from again?

Georgia

 

[Man's Field]

When Dybantsa flipped the switch he went from Tyler Betsey to Tracy McGrady

We have a tendency to slow down the offense with a double digit lead. Need to break that habit as it seems to get everyone out of rhythm

 

[uconngb]

Turns out this team is pretty good huh?

Um, not so sure about that….they basically blew a 20 point lead. LOTS to work on

 

[Rocktheworld]

Good LORD some of those foul calls in the first 8 minutes of the second half.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Ladies and gentlemen… we are pretty good.

 

[boog204]

All in all a great win. Ross was excellent off the bench minus the fouls. Silas and AK were huge, and Tarris is one of the best bigs in the country.

It’s infuriating to watch us nurse leads and get passive. It’s a regular thing. With an absolutely dominant big in Reed, why is he setting a zillion screens at the three point line while we go passive? And, why can we still not inbound the ball or handle any pressure? Our coach is a PG and we have multiple point guards on the court. I just don’t get it.
