Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2925883, member: 2844"] I think Coach Hurley was better with the TOs in the 2nd half In MSG and in 1st half vs Cornell there were occasions when I and others around me thought he should have halted play, didn't, and things got a bit more ragged. He was superb in the 2nd half. I like when he coaches rather than ref baiting and whining - I understand at times why but it wont always weigh in his and/or teams advantage Polley was much better on offense (having a height advantage helped) but his D is still plain lousy - don't know what it looked like on TV but in person he is either too slow side to side and/or he gets physically punished The bigs were not good overall but Carlton did seem more comfortable later in the game. Cobb should have dominated but played like his head was elsewhere. - disappointing especially noting the size advantage they enjoyed last night. There needs to be consistency in this position. AG was like a chicken with his head cut off most of the night yet I found it interesting that he was receiving accolades and praise from Dan Hurley when I thought he needed to be reigned in a bit - interesting strategy and I will not second guess Dan Hurley on this one. I love AGs heart and desire - when the rust comes off - watch out!!! CV had one of his better overall games - he was into it and the most under control Ive seen - did a lot of communicating with TB on the bench - a good thing JA did start hesitant but he is so smooth in many aspects of the game. By the time January comes around I feel he will dominate. T Smith had another really good performance but at some points was trying to do too much and heard about it from Tom Moore - he corrected his play immediately - UConn needs him and he is a huge difference maker in this team - huge. His playing on the team makes it much different than last years team so I disagree with Chief00 on his statement about being the same team - TS and AG give this team a lot more versatility and combos Freshman Adams looked to be much more comfortable vs Cornell than in MSG - I think in 2 years he will be a very good player here at UConn. If he tries not to do the difficult things on the floor and let the game come to him - as witnessed by his 3 pt shot - he was patient, squared up and caught/shot - a beautiful thing [/QUOTE]
