What was that start vs unh ? Early 90’s

 

[Ctedgeman]

Yes, DePaul scored way too many points in the 2nd half, but they didn't let them back into the game. They basically got a 30 point lead and kept it around there the whole game. Also subs playing way more than normal and DePaul wasn't going to shoot 20% all game.

Ok now I need to be that guy. Is Hawkins alright? No medical attention at the end seems like a good sign

Seems fine.

You know you forgot the /s.

We knew we were going to win this game easily at halftime so why risk injury by going 100% before the most important games of the season?

UConn held depaul to 19 points in the first half and they allowed depaul to double that in the second half with 40points. Some how uconn has to figure out how to stop allowing teams back into games. Definitely wont work at Villanova Saturday. Great win though. Go UConn

This would be a great post if it was sarcasm, but sadly it is not.

Can't tell if this is a joke or not, it actually seems like you're serious.

I’m sure Dan would’ve preferred more intensity, but it’s a lot to ask with a 30-40 point lead.

32-0

By the way, lots of credit to DePaul for coming out and fighting hard in the second half after going down 30. Would have been easy and understandable to just go through motions until the buzzer

And even more credit to our guys for fighting back and still giving effort while up 30. We had answers to every bucket

Five Huskies in double figures and none of them were Hawkins... who had that in their bingo card?

 

[geordi]

You know, I really don't want much. Just 10 more consecutive wins! Play like that first half...it's more than a possibility.

 

[HailUConn]

Hope Hawkins is ok and ready to go against Nova!

 

[uconngb]

I have something to complain about…….

The missed layup by the Greek kid cost me the over by 1/2 a point. I say revoke his schollie!

1990.

Game ended 85-32 or something.

Seems fine.

Let’s hope. He’s had a couple pretty poor shooting games since initially tweaking that ankle late in. providence game. We are gonna need him top flight from here on out.

Creighton opened 19-0 against Georgetown.

32-7 now.

Must be crush a cupcake night in the conference.

He's had his most athletic finishes of the season since then and has been flying all over the court, hasn't looked hurt to me.

Lol. I know you are having fun.

I didn’t like second half but I throw that out with bath water. We were so good in first half doing whatever we wanted it’s natural to lose that intensity for 2nd. I wish we could’ve called it at end of first half just to maintain that sharpness heading to Nova.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Wow. Just wow. I know it’s DePaul, but wow. This game was over after 5 minutes because of suffocating defense, fluid and engaged offense, and great energy even through a 30 point blowout.

A few thoughts. Most good, obviously

• Adama Sanogo is unstoppable 1v1. Unstoppable.
• Great game from Andre! Played within himself again and almost had a triple double to show for it. Went to the post 3 times, which led to 1 bucket and 2 trips to the line. Did hit a nice rhythm three early and is looking like he’s having fun alongside Newton now
• Joey’s shot is back! He was rough as a lead PG today, but absolutely lethal off ball. Can’t be understated how much we NEED that this month
• Alleyne hit another one of those pull-up midranges. Doesn’t look pretty but has been going down for a couple games. Also very important for a March run
• Clingan came in early and dominated
• RICHIE MINUTES!

Now the not so good, but how much can we complain about with a nearly 30 point win?

• Hawkins missed a lot of good looks, forced it in the second half, and rolled his ankle at the end. Really tough game. Hope he comes back healthy for the revenge game against Nova
• Samson minutes! Unfortunately he immediately got bullied under the hoop and gave up an and1. Pulled immediately after lol

Adama’s footwork is probably second to none in the country. He uses his pivot so masterfully, and it makes up for the lack of lift he often gets. The way we’ve used him recently is so much better than the repeated iso post ups from earlier in the year. Great job by Hurley and the staff for recognizing that.

It was so unlike Joey to be so careless with the ball. He’s just a mostly off the ball guy, which is fine.

They let Depaul back into the game????...maybe I was watching a different game..You gotta be kidding...I hope!

Trey Alexander 6-7 on threes. That Thursday afternoon game is going to be the best Thurday afternoon conference tourny game in a very long time.
