The refs weren't great, but in the first half UConn was not driving the ball hard to the lane that often and had a handful of sloppy turnovers' the type of turnovers that Hurley would be furious to see in a scrimmage on the first day of practice, let alone in the middle of Big East play.  In the second half, they were more aggressive, smarter, moved the ball better and drew more fouls.

Still, I don't understand Castle shooting a layup with an opponents leg scraping across his shoulder and there's no call.

It's nice to have at least 3 guys who aren't afraid of the moment and will take 'the shot' as the games wind down.  It's one of the reasons why Karaban needs to be out there, but it is also nice to have Spencer and Newton who are never afraid to put it up.

Newton was big in the last 5+ minutes, but he has to take care of the ball better up to that point.  If he did, the game would not have been as close at the end.

Loved how Davis complained about getting thrown or pushed once, and in previous games (especially the NC game) Spencer was being thrown around like a football at a Manning family reunion.

Finally, it was a gritty, gutty performance by Butler.  Love
