Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 4179802, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]Good start, then we got inexplicably sloppy. Loose with the ball, and horrible defensive positioning. [*]Not quite 5 minutes in, and Sanogo turned and stepped away from the ball as a DePaul guy was driving. Where was he planning on going? [*]Other than the occasional block, Akok is not a good defender. [*]Cole draws a charge 7 minutes in. No one in the building was surprised. [*]Under 12 timeout. We are getting hammered on the boards. 9 to 5. 3-zip offensive. C'mon guys. We're UConn. We don't get out-rebounded. [*]Drive into traffic. Nowhere to go. Panic pass back out. Turnover. [*]10:31 Tyrese sees the play developing, establishes position outside the forbidden zone, puts his arms straight up and doesn't move. B Johnson goes up for shot and crashes into him. Tyrese gets called for a foul. Sigh. Gonna be a long night, I'm afraid. Johnson misses both FTs. Ball Don't Lie. [*]Again, Sanogo ignoring his man in the paint. [*]Down double digits at 7:40 [*]DePaul seemed all around quicker, with much more active hands than us, but we would neutralize that advantage in the 2nd half. [*]Another Sanogo turnover. We need to see Sampson. [*]That was one of the best under one second full court plays I've seen in a long, long time, but until that play, Sanogo had his worst half of the season. [*]By the half, our rebound deficit had evaporated and left a 3 board lead in its wake. That gave me a lot more confidence for the 2nd half. [*]1 point down at the half. Thank the Lord for RJ. Hoping that we took their best shot in the first half. I went into the 2nd half telling myself that I we can't possibly play another half that poorly, or that DePaul can play that well for another minute. I told my wife I expected a turnaround and a 5 to 10 point win. [*]Why does whatsername keep calling Anei, Akok? [*]Jackson leading our board work, bigtime. [*]I get nervous whenever Akok is in the game. He's a shell of his former self, and a liability at both ends of the floor. [*]And now she called Sanogo Sunoco. [*]She finally called Anei, Anei, with less than 3 minutes left in the game. [*]We ended up winning the battle of the boards by 10. That's 5 each, O & D. [*]Not a lot of assists in the game, but we were behind 4 to 2 at the half, and won that line on the stat sheet 8 to 5. [*]That was a truly ugly game, yet a great win. Showed some team character. [*]I hope Zay's injury is nothing serious. We're going to need him in a few days. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
