Clingan Was Sick Last Night

[aburks41]

Just FYI as to why he looked so winded last night in limited minutes. Back to back games while battling an illness is nearly impossible to get through for a big guy

Great

It was pretty obvious that he was grabbing his shorts 5 min into the game, and asking for an inhaler on the bench.

Relax guys. Samson had a good game in his stead, it's all around good news.

 

[Drame]

Thanks Bill!! Ive been sick these past two weeks. Could not imagine even going for a jog.

Conditioning aside, will be very interested to see how his low post moves have developed.

Really need to be able to throw to him down low and have him go get a bucket. Especially when he significantly outsizes his opponent.

 

[Waquoit]

I can't believe all the folks getting in line to bash Clingan. Just a sorry lot.

 

[HuskyHawk]

That confirms what I expected. His conditioning is still not 100% either, but he was clearly not feeling well and struggling with things. Not just conditioning but focus on things like rebounds. Expect he'll be much more himself next game.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

He’s a warrior, real Uconn fans would never question him or his preparation.

Maybe do a little Turkey Trot Thanksgiving day to get that conditioning back and drop a cool 25-12 on Thursday.

 

[Waquoit]

Alex was pretty sick in the second half as well.

 

[The Viking]

That makes more sense then his conditioning just not being there. Good to hear. Also good on Hurley not to push him down the stretch knowing he was feeling like crap.

I think Johnson's play made that decision rather easy

Look forward to seeing him at 100%, we're special people

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Literally, Clingan is a potential lottery pick who was visibly coughing and asking for his inhaler and people be like he's not as good as I thought.

Idiots.

For real though there were times he looked very off until he pulled it back together. I do wonder if he had a big also. Dare I say “flu-game”

Manhatten on Friday, no?

The most wild part to me was he had 7 and 2 in 12 minutes, which is on pace for 17/5 if he played 30.

How can you even have that strong of an opinion on a guy who barely played 1/4 of the game, especially when he wasn’t even that bad.

 

[Hamms30]

was wondering about this. Noticed him coughing into a towel in one of the timeouts and wasn't sure if it was a clear the throat cough or a .. man I'm winded cough.

The 'yard loves to overreact to one-game samples. Clingan looked like a lotto pick until tonight. Yeah, he's still flawed, but he's also 19 and a million feet tall. He wouldn't be here if he was a perfect player. What else would you expect?

My reply to Mr Clingan: ignore the hubris coming from some fans. UConn fans are spoiled and arrogant.

Both are true.

Yup. Donny has one bad game and our fans go all in with their extreme critique of a loyal hometown high-character kid who could have chosen a much different path in his basketball career but didn't in-part because of his admiration for CT and UConn hoops. Unreal.

 

[storrsroars]

While it would've been rude, hacking a thick loogy on Mitchell early in the game might've kept him from crashing the boards. Use everything at your disposal, lol.

 

[Conndog]

Hope it is 100% conditioning and cold, and that there is nothing about his foot that contributed.

 

[Palatine]

What! His dad can't give out that protected medical information!!!!!!

Sorry the big guy was sick. Good to know it is a very temporary thing.

SJ was ready to go last year, but was a victim of injury and a stacked roster. The run he got the last couple of games is an investment that pays in conference play and in March. He’s playing like a starter.
