DePaul Post Game Thread

For an imperfect and still growing team, this was a satisfying road win. Hawk will be an AA candidate next year. This road win could be the start of something (again).

I don’t think Hawk will be here next year

Certain folks will say the double-bigs was the key to the game.

I liked that they got quite a bit of run with it. Some good, some bad came out of it. It’s clearly not “the answer”

Liked Samsons minutes.

Love Hawks & Newtons trajectories!!!

Wish Sanogo could dunk but strong effort from him

Alleyne brought good D but is just pressing too hard to get his offense going. Relax, my dude!

 

[MJKI]

Thought the iso with sanogo and Clingan was awesome and it led to sanogo having a ton more room to work. Hope to see more of that against Georgetown and then against Creighton for sure

 

[Dibbie]

Team is still flawed, but wins should build confidence which is good

 

[Hi-Low]

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.

 

[Hi-Low]

Need to get Jackson playing well again.

Don't need his offense...just better passing and solid D

 

[HuskyHawk]

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

Defense still has to improve. 76 to DePaul is gross. Thank goodness Clingan got us a spurt and big lead in the first

 

[UConnSwag11]

Hawkins gets more and more confident every game

 

[LIuconn]

Cool now do it Tuesday

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.

Newton's made three and-one was when I knee we'd win.

Looks like his confidence is shot. Has to develop a jump shot in the summer. This is the only way his game opens up.

 

[Jaydumo20]

If Jackson reads anything people say about his offensive game, or hears what opponents yell at him during the game, no wonder he's flat on offense. If everyone told me I couldn't do something it may sink in a bit.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Sanogo and Samson should have taken Andre to the Caribbean with them. Andre is so in his head, he needs a vacation.

 

[AntG168]

Let’s just run the rest of the regular season table. That would make me happy

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.

 

[SeattleHoop]

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.

Nope. He needs to dunk everything, from the foul line in.

Cut alleynes and give them to Joey

 

[tcf15]

Newton is coming alive just at the right time.

 

[F101Voodoo]

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, DH! Impressed with his approach and changes. Well done

Yea he must be taking clues from boneyarders. LOL

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.
