Enjoy this team, they are very special.

UConn started out the game with a 13 point deficit, but then made 9 of 13 shots and PC cooled off after playing over their heads early. UConn had two cancelled flights out of Milwaukee after Wednesday’s game and had to drive to Chicago to catch flight home.  Therefore, we got off to slow start but then got going and we were up by 18 points at the half.

Key to or success all season long is leading our opponent in rebounds (2), assists (12) , steals (5) and tonight was no different.  Clingan, Johnson, Castle and Newton all had at least 6 rebounds.  All five of our starters hit double figures. The words “Tough” and  “unselfish”  describe our team well.

It is great to see Alex Karaban out of his shooting slump. Overall we shot 42%  from 3 compared to 29% for PC.

The Big East handicap is alive and well,  despite our lead we were out shot on the foul line 16 to 6.

A couple of negative, we made two foolish fouls on three point shots. We also took our foot off the accelerator late.
