It's hard to believe it's UConn 1st win at Creighton ever.
They should've won in 2023, but they blew so many easy fastbreaks that game and then of course Hawkins toe was on the 3 pt line for the would be tying shot to send it to OT.

Karaban didn't have a good offensive game and it almost killed us, but man did he step up big when he had to switch to the 5. That was winning basketball on defense.

I really hope he can get his groove back, because that's the only way we will be a real threat in March.

I’m fine with Hass resting the next 2 games. We need him as healthy as possible as we head to March.

Let Liam, Solo, & Alex initiate the offense. It worked just fine tonight.
Will not work against a pressing team that’s for sure

Might as well start it...

Wow, I'm still in shock they won this one. McNeeley with the monster game. Everyone else pretty much was terrible. Good to know they can win when so many play a bad game. Nice win!
Actually AK's game was very good tonight and he does a lot of other things well in general. The BIG issue is his 3 pt shot. It is a disaster. But otherwise, his floater was on and got some key offensive boards. We need more from him from outside, clearly, but lets not throw out the baby with the bath water.

McNeeley is special, wow. Knew he was good, but not quite that good. Recruit more Monteverdi kids

Funny enough - last huge game for a UConn player was Bouk with 40 vs Creighton in 2021

Well if Reed is going to give us nothing and commit silly fouls, yeah, it has to become an option. Samson was okay tonight, but nothing outstanding.
It’s every game though. We get wild at times when we go small but you can tell the guys want to run and gun out there. We have a slow paced offense by design and complexity. But if we do rotate a small set once or twice a game without the centers it may help us in the long run and throw off defenses and more importantly save Johnson and Reed from their 3rd or 4th… not their 5th.

I also think Reed and Johnson foul so much because they are better suited around the rim. If they’re chasing after guys then they foul. Just get them off the court for a set and run a fast defense… man up.
