Diarra was the MVP

[shizzle787]

Had some extremely timely steals and charges that swung momentum at key moments.

 

[Deleted at users request]

He’s our best defender outside of Andre. His long arms help a lot there.

 

[husky429]

He had 4 steals in 4 minutes at one point.

Diarra and Hawk co-MVPs

 

[AtlantaHusky]

Kids got a huge heart. Love his passion speed and toughness. Plays to his maximum potential. We are very lucky to have such a tough guard off the bench. When he grabbed that rebound in traffic late my draw dropped.

 

[Palatine]

Or Hawkins. Or Karaban. Andre hit the killer three. Diarra is in there somewhere.

Yeah Hawk 1st half MVP, Diarra 2nd.

 

[elmcityboy]

yeah, diarra was great, but hawkins scored basically 1/3 of our points and was transcendant in the first half. he was the mvp.

Yes that is what I wrote in the chat

 

[UCOnions]

HDDDDDDDDDDD
Emphasis on the D!

 

[Huskyforlife]

His ability to speed up the ball handler and force turnovers is crucial in grit and grind games like this. Gonna be a key player in march for sure.

 

[Slappy]

Newton came back in for Diarra and Nova immediately cut it to two.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Offensive and Defensive MVP.

 

[EBonz30]

The more I watch, the more I feel like I am watching the 99’ Huskies & the 04’ Huskies- no one man- extremely deep & extremely talented- let’s enjoy the rest of the year- this is a squad that makes forever lasting memories…..

 

[superjohn]

We're seeing the value of that depth. Diarra was needed to carry the load tonight and he stepped up. When Samson is back we'll have a legit 5 guys who can carry us off the bench when called upon at times.

He destroyed Daniels defensively. He was not having of that back me down crap. Two straight games hes played well. All he needs to do is play D, run the offense and take whatever shots are given when they are there. No need to look for his shot. Just do what he did tonight and last game and our pg concerns go away. He was excellent tonight.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Yeah Hawk 1st half MVP, Diarra 2nd.

And Alex played like a Nova guy who'd beat up on UConn. Glad he plays for us.

 

[prankster]

Yes to everything on this thread.

Also needs a bit more work on free throws.

Other than that...

Makeup of this team is so good. Everyone has their strengths.

 

[HailUConn]

He’d be if he converted FTs.

You good with the amount of cowbell?

 

[Hunt for 7]

This team is special…they may end up having a season that rivals any of the others in our great history!

 

[alphasigko]

Exactly correct

Second Half MVP

 

[Chin Diesel]

Newton came back in for Diarra and Nova immediately cut it to two.

And then Newton went 6-6 from the line.

 

[shizzle787]

Second Half MVP

The most important half.

 

[Hunt for 7]

I would not count on a big pick up when he gets back. AK gets better every game. Johnson may be able to shoot but no way he can take and make as many big threes as AK. He is pure cold blooded.

 

[ValleyGuy]

And then Newton went 6-6 from the line.

Yea … as he should?

 

[Tenspro2002]

Hurley has such riches as his disposal. A guy like Diarra can come off the bench and shift momentum when Newton wasn't getting it done. Last game it was him and Calcaterra.
