A 35 point win but not a Rembrandt. Too many turnovers (19), most just sloppy plays where we don’t read the defense.
The scoring load was balanced and several
players shot 60-75% (Karaban, Ball, Diarra, Reed, and Johnson). Hurley actually played Mahaney with Diarra tonight for a few minutes but no conclusion either way if it is something that will work successfully or not.
Reed is starting to contribute more as he was 1 point short of a double/double. Johnson was efficient with dunks and blocked shots. We got 17 points, 15 rebounds and 6 block shots from the center position. Starting to trend upwards with both guys displaying progress on knowing how they can contribute to winning.
Karaban (2-4) and Ball (2-3) were our only good 3 point shooters. Altogether, we shot 29% from the 3 point line despite getting numerous good looks. Mahoney (2-7) and Ross (1-5) led the 3 point shooting disappointment.
Our 2PG % was respectable with many layups driving results. Again, Diarra got other guys going but needs to clean up some careless turnovers.
Usually a team who blows out an opponent at home has less fouls but we are UConn and despite 2 NC’s we were out shot on the foul line 22 to 14 at home.
We did have a huge assists spread (18 to 4) and comfortable rebound advantage (44 to 35). So we played unselfish and hard. However, we need to clean up the 19 turnover sloppiness.
