Goals for the game: 1) no injuries, 2) get the freshman and Diarra/Alleyne a bunch of reps to boost their confidence. Anything else is gravy.

To extrapolate, In December we practice like it’s in March!

I feel terrified for the rest of country!

It's LIU. We don't need relentlessness, we just need sound basketball, no injuries, and the rest will take care of itself.

When the Big East season starts, then unleash the dogs.

We are favored by 40. Has to be one of our biggest spreads ever.

Unsure of the validity of this, but was reading somewhere LIU abruptly fired Dan Hurley friend this summer.

Let the dogs loose

It’d feel good to absolutely bludgeon a team

 

[oshkosh]

Fine as long as no one plays unnecessarily reckless and risks injury.

 

[Scot-e]

Going to be a very relaxing game to watch. I’ll take it.

Advice to LIU

 

[Huskybass]

I predict at least 7 blocked shots.

 

[UofCT]

No injuries and would love starters to be sitting by U12. I want to see the euros play for extended time.

 

[Marat]

One of those games thar I can DVR and and not sweat about waiting till later in the day to watch when I have time.

I have to agree. I think Hurley will take his foot off of the gas before it gets really ugly.

EDIT: OK, I was wrong.

If anyone has been watching the women's team players don't have to be playing reckless to get injuries. They're having a season of injuries like the men's team suffered in 2016-2017. Just devastating.

Really hoping this team stays healthy including getting Samson back. It's special and would love nothing getting in the way of them proving it.

I feel a 40 pt. thumping coming up.

If I'm LIU I would feel like we have nothing to lose. We've been blessed with the opportunity to play against the 5th ranked team in the nation. The focus for them should be on giving a maximum effort for the entire 40 minutes, regardless of what the scoreboard looks like. That's no small challenge, espcially if the score gets way out of hand, which is likely what will happen. But if they fight and give it their all the entire way, they can hold their heads high.

For UConn, on the other hand, this is an opportunity to play a basketball game and continue to work on things, and hopefully get more minutes for guys (like Richie Springs) who normally don't get very many. What they don't want to do is get sloppy and unfocused because the competition is lesser. I don't think that will happen with this team.

I'm sensing a trend. Deliberate maybe?

Hmmm!

I keep saying this to my friends/family. We never really let teams within 10 pts, so when it occasionally trickles to single digits I start to get anxious.

4 mins left in the first, 30 point lead. Still confident in the prediction you’ve been making in every thread lol

Ok, I was a little off on my prediction. Should have said 50+.

'Was he the one in charge of uniforms?

Can't do the math in my head. I might have been wrong.

 

[Deadrody]

I thought they ended up being fairly solid on offense. UConn's defense didn't give them anything, so they had to mostly go one on one and after getting blitzed for much of the first half, they did get it going. I think they should do well in their conference.

Hey how come you can edit posts hours later? I thought Tom put like an eight second time limit on editing posts?

I'm not sure. Maybe I'm special! No, that can't be it.
