DePaul Post Game Thread

Solid win on the road against a team that was really hot from outside. Shouldn’t have been as close as it was.

  • Newton being agressive is huge. Draws fouls, makes big shots.
  • Hawk attacking the rim gives him more space to shoot, makes him much harder to guard
  • Sanogo putting it on the floor and catching on pick and roll limits the double teams we see on entry passes.
  • Alleyne plays good D and mostly makes good decisions

Hope rotation is now tightening like tonight...need to get Newton & Hawk used to playing 32+ mins and Diarra / Joey will get spot 4 mins a half at most.

This would be the stupidest idea in UConn coaching history. You want your starters coming into the postseason fresh, not worn out. NO PLAYER should average more than 30 mpg the rest of the season.

They place twice a week..they can handle over 30 mins. Dear Lord...you play the best players. Nobody has a 10 man rotation this time of year.

Better I don't say anything about Andre..... yikes. Embarrassing.

You can start with the fact that he had 4 assists and 8 rebounds…how about that??

Basketball is more than just scoring. I don’t understand you guys. We knew what we were getting with Andre. It’s just about utilizing his talents sufficiently. They did that in this game.

Lots to like about tonight’s game after the mini-bye. Hawk flying around, newton back to back 20 point games, and the 2 bigs for an extended period. But most of all, Dan Hurley! Impressed with his approach and changes. Well done

Alleyne is better overall...played well at a higher level last year. The next 2 months you play the best players. Joey will gets mins but not major.

Alleyne is not better overall and last year has nothing to do with current play.
 
Good first half and medicore 2nd half. Need to tighten up that D. How many games in a row have we gave up 40 plus in a half.

He clearly plays hard but the decision making isn’t there. He forces every shot, there were 4 plays this game where he went head down into an immediate shot. I’d like to see Diarra maybe get some of those minutes since he brings similar defensive intensity while only giving up an inch

Getting thumbs down for mild criticism of Andre? I expect more from a Junior captain who talks about NBA aspirations.

2 points, 5 fouls, 5 turnovers, yet another arrogant technical foul for trash talking while giving up 19 on 7-9 shooting to Javan Johnson.

I don't believe in ripping or belittling ANY college players ability level - but that was an embarrassing game from a player who is capable of so much more. I hope he is able to turn it around, because he looked like the guy who gave up 37 to Teddy Allen last year ending our season.

Alleyne is shooting 33%, 27% from the arc. And he is taking bad shots early in the shot clock. It's like he has no basketball IQ at all. He dribbles into traffic where there is nothing. His threes are so off target they lead to opponent run outs.

His defense is okay at best. And he is a foul machine.

He really needs to slow down. Let the game come to him and get under control.
 
At halftime they showed Mark Armstrong from nova. Is he related to Hilton?
