Nice win after a long layoff. Solo came to play.

Prayers up for Liam’s ankle.

 

[Brochacho]

Hope McNeeley is ok.

 

[Mister P]

Solo with zero assists. WTF

 

[Edward Sargent]

McNeeley injury really spoiled the start to the New Year!

 

[Dibbie]

Liam seemed to be walking fine and no crutches. Hopeful it’s not a long term issue

Solo with zero assists. WTF

This is your first thought after the game he just had? Seriously?

 

[Bomber36]

Hope Liam is OK. Hey, a win is a win though. DePaul won’t lose every BE game this year.

 

[Mets8692]

Hope Liam is okay. Luckily our schedule is soft the next couple weeks.

Silver lining, maybe Mahaney gets into a groove with the extra playing time.

Still don't understand Ross over Stewart, I don't see what the coaches see.

Liam was in a boot on the bench.

Defense.

Solo and Mahaney get game balls. Prayers for McNeeley. Gruesome injury. Hopefully it's not season ending.

A win is a win. Defensive woes shifted from interior from perimeter, but still held.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Two takeaways.
1. UConn, at this point in the season, is screwed offensively without Diarra or McNeeley on the floor.
2. In 2055 Conor Enright will be good for 12 points and four charges drawn at his local YMCA noontime pick up game.

I like to focus on the things Solo does well instead of his deficiencies and my god is he an outstanding shooter. If he has some space it's going in. I think he's one of the best three point shooters we've ever had. Six rebounds is nice too, he wasn't too successful driving but I liked that he drove.

Mahaney gave us enough when we were down to one ballhandler but I'm worried about Nowell never playing. Backup point guard is my one and only concern with this team. Diarra and McNeeley as our ballhandlers won't be enough to achieve our ultimate goal, IMO.

I also don't like how little Jaylin plays.

Hoping Liam isn't out long, he's so important in everything this team does.

Liam was in a boot on the bench.

Can't tell much from that. They always put that boot on players. A player could have a hang nail and they'd put the boot on him.

I love Stewart, but he played 3 minutes in the 2nd half and we were outscored by 9 points. It was rough for him today

Hope you're right.

Don't forget to mention Solo's dead eye shooting and hitting the momentum breaking 3s to extinguish DePaul's comeback after cutting the lead from 22 pts to 8

Of course not. I’m not that out of tune.
Being sarcastic after all of the previous complaints about Balls overall play.
I should have ended my post with /s.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I realize that DePaul's starting center was out (Skogman makes 47% of his threes), but still, excellent to see a fantastic perimeter D performance against a very strong shooting team (25% today, 39% entering today's game).

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

My takeaway is that this ASU - Texas game is incredible.

 

[HooperScooper]

So DePaul was one of the best three point shooting teams in the country and putting up a lot of threes. They were 3-12 (25%) today. So I guess that regression we've been talking about is happening and/or the 3 point defense is getting better after some hard work over the break.

 

[Bazz2014]

Held a 40% 3FG team to 25 today and only 12 attempts. Part of that was adjustment by them but credit to us for making that adjustment over the break.

Won on the road after a long break and never let it get close (despite their push at the end and foul trouble/lost composure after Liam went down). I’ll take it.

Now we pray Liam is alright, and if he needs to miss time, other guys take the opportunity to step up.
