Feed the Beast ! (Tarris Reed)

[SaeHusky]

Oklahoma is a great matchup for Tarris. They have nobody who can stop him in the post. We need to feed him.! This is his game

Let’s hope.

Will also be interesting to see what Hurley does against the Florida 2 big lineup if we get there.

Not even worried about that yet. Worry about Oklahoma. One game at a time. Survive and advance.

Oh trust me I am. Had been looking at the 1 matchups for the last two weeks, so the thought process was already baked.

Someone needs to send this to the UConn staff to put up in Tarris's locker.

I’d love to start Reed and play methodically inside out. Good 2s create space for 3s
Also Tarris is probably the best all around player we have let’s dominate the glsss

We have coaches good at game planning and scouting on short rest

Reed needs to be involved in the offense early on to keep him engaged. He seems to perform much better when the point is made to get him the ball on the blocks early and often.

 

[huskyjawz]

He doesn't need to be at the top of the key with the ball unguarded.

I still don't know why he didn't play more against Creighton. He was our best matchup even with Kalk in the game. I know ended with 3 fouls but 16 minutes is silly to have him play that little. He has definitely not best been used to his strengths. We need to treat him like Sanogo in our 2022-23 Season and feed the beast.

Said very early in the season that he’s our best player. Yea I see a lot of defensive mistakes he makes, but he can score anytime he wants and I’m puzzled why it took so many longer than like 5 games to see it.

Guys, if we're gonna post images of bears dunking, let's at least use a little bit of effort.

I know the easy answer is no but I feel the emphasis on starting the game
We’ve been very inconsistent starting games. Many wins came from large first rd deficits

To me even though it’s end of season
Let’s start with the best 5 on defense and rebounding and we can liberally substitute to keep fresh

Oh blow me. I found a good image and posted it, which was more than anyone else had done till now. Including you with your cartoons..

Let's hope we don't get this

It’s March madness…gotta put in the effort if you expect our team to do the same. 10 seconds with ChatGPT. Googling existing images is so 5 years ago! Hopefully @Deepster doesn’t hang you for this.

Maybe you should've spent 20 seconds on ChatGPT and come up with something that was actually fierce and threatening instead of comical.

What's next from your AI expertise, Paddington Bear? Anime? Hello Kitty?

 

[aboogieee]

You're right—the answer is no. However, they have a great opportunity to make a significant impact on the game. There's been a lot of discussion about feeding Reed in the post, and rightfully so, but the same may apply to Stew. He'll likely be matched up against a 6'4" guard, and given his efficiency in the paint, that matchup can be exploited.

If Tarris' defender steps over to help, it should be an easy drop-off. Hopefully, they can rediscover the strong chemistry they showcased earlier in the season.

I can see a case starting Reed especially with the advantage we should have inside. I don't think sitting McNeeley would happen as he is best offensive player. I do think if we are struggling on D and McNeeley is the main culprit than we will see Stewart in earlier than expected to help with the D.

No.

You don't change the rhythm at this point in the year. If we were going to make a change, it needed to be 6 weeks ago or more.
