Message: [QUOTE="Mike Honcho, post: 4576447, member: 401"] I was at the game so I wanted to watch this game again from home. A few scattered thoughts. [LIST] [*]We sounded [B]LOUD[/B] on TV. Loved that. Could distinctly hear the Let's Go Huskies chant that I started with 4 minutes to go in the first half. [*]Naheim Alleyne has become the player we thought he'd be. I didn't love that his foot was on the line for that first 2-pointer but he played a really solid all-around game and has been on a hot streak. He's shooting 54% from the field and 50% from 3 since the 2nd Providence game in 17mpg. He's also been defending well. Near the end of the game he shot an airball (which Tristen rebounded), but this didn't affect his confidence, as he took, and drilled, a mid-range J a couple plays later. [*]As many pointed out, Hawk struggled. He's been ice cold from behind the arc for the past month now, shooting 17 for 60 or 28.3% since the Creighton game on 2/11. Factoring in his two's, he's just 34 for 95 for 35.8% from the field in that same time period. Would love to see him break out of the funk in the NCAAs and climb the draft boards. [*]Even though his shot wasn't falling, this was the aggressive Tristen we've been looking for. He consistently sought to turn the corner and put pressure on the defense. I think he draws more contact than he's gotten credit for. He should be at the line way more often. [*]Adama isn't getting nearly enough kudos as he deserves. He's been so solid over the past month, averaging 16 and 7 on 62.5% shooting in 28mpg. He learned how to adjust to double-teams -- the pass to AJ in the first few minutes of the game was a thing of beauty. [*]It was really bizarre that the refs couldn't figure out who the ball went off of with a little over 2 min remaining, awarding UConn the ball due to the possession arrow. But I guess you can't go to the monitors until sub-2 min. [*]Most of Andre's fouls were bone-headed, except his 4th which was phantom. His fifth was stupid -- him and Karaban had no business reaching in on Ighodaro 90+ feet from the hoop. [*]Hurley definitely had a point -- Kolek should have fouled out with a little over a minute to go reaching in on Tristen. He ended up missing a couple shots to keep us in the game but it would have been a huge momentum swing (the crowd would have really gotten into it) and a free timeout. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
