Message: [QUOTE="UConNick, post: 5121308, member: 3806"] It’s over and done with. Sloppy as heck most of the game. Put together about 7 UConn minutes at the start of the second but then it seemed like auto pilot switched on and the intensity disappeared. Too many blow-bys on defense. Oh, we still won by 35. Obviously no one’s going to be happy with that game. We’re UConn and we have standards here that other schools simply don’t. But it’s a reminder that, not only is our A game probably better than anyone else’s, our B game is damn good, too, and our C game can probably scrape by quite a few top 25 teams (i.e., still be competitive). Think we saw a C/C- game today - and again, we still won by 35. But as others have said I think it’ll be better in the long run because it gives Hurley some excellent ammo to work with on refocusing the team over the next few days to ensure we don’t bring anything that weak in Maui. It’s November and we’ve got a lot of new pieces. There’s going to be some disorganization. All systems remain go. E: also happy to see Nowell get some first half minutes. If he’s a legitimate tenth man then we’ll have something that for all the top-end star power we didn’t have in 23 or 24: insane depth. [/QUOTE]
