I’m not complaining, just stating a stat. Guy, said PC got favorable whistle. I’m asking him to back it up. But per usual on here, all BS with no substance. What game did that happen to UConn this year btw?
Funnier than that is what are the excuses going to be after the game in cow town? Huskyhawk has taken whining to a incredible level.
We only played them once, right?
Hey Friar relax. No bigger UConn fan then me but I enjoy watching the physical way you guys play. In my book if they don’t call it it isn’t a foul but holy crap did Hopkins level whoever it was with the push off with about 7:30 to go in the 2nd half. The ref was looking right at the play. That ref needs to be reprimanded. And how on earth did Croswell get to be this good?
Those were all shooting fouls. Are you dense? PC never got in the bonus the entire game. Did you watch it?
How about Marquette? Can you help us there?
Tongue in cheek rhetorical question, but listening to huddle with Smart and Cooley you can hear how they adjust or motivate. For example in one break Smart was telling his team they only have 7 deflections, they needed to get that total way up. DEFLECTIONS. Found it an interesting metric to generate greater defensive intensit from his team by using actual goal number. Also was noticed how coaches aggressively used switching and alternating defenses. I learned something
That could've gotten you in the bonus.I had to watch the replay on Bynum’s last shot. On ESPN’s game summary page. He did not hurl himself into the defender. They show several angles, never touched the defender. He just simply missed. He beat X last year in the last second, I can just imagine how their fans felt watching that shot, lol….
You clearly haven’t watched many of our games this year…it’s a rare sight that we get into the double bonus in the Big East. You don’t remember when we played you guys and you shot 16 more free throws than you did? Good luck the rest of the way, you guys have a tough team, but not as much talent as you might think. Hope we stomp you guys when you come play us on our home court.
A favorable whistle for PC means no whistle. It doesn't mean they go to the line, it means they get away with their overly physical constant bumping style of defense.
Did not see your game vs PC..Disclaimer.. Kolek seems like a pretty composed/mellow dude.. Good at what he does.. Heard he was chirping with PC guards.. Seems unlike him.. Any context as to why?? Pretty sure he's a RI kid so maybe some of that was goin' on.
Got it.. Was curious because it seemed out-of-character for him..
After Wednesday, I'd bet it's St John's
Maybe PC should've worked harder on getting more fouls called against Xavier!
It's hard to get in the bonus when you don't get your typical home cooking, huh
He's a cocky little bastard. He's from Cumberland, RI. I watched him when he was a 6th and 7th grader in a local tournament at a school in Cumberland where I coached a girl's team. His dad was a Div 3 player, set some New England scoring record. I watched him play on his older brother's team vs a team of 9th graders from Providence. City kids vs suburban kids, and the little 7th grader Kolek dominated them all. He has moxie to spare. I wanted UConn to pursue him as a transfer. Only question back then was athleticism at this level.
