first half?

[superjohn]

Wasn't able to watch, up 15 at half and held USF to 13 points at half. How do we look and is it more our defense or is USF just terrible?

 

[geordi]

yes

 

[Palatine]

USF does not have good shooters but the defense is very, very good.


Lots of steals, deflections and tough shots.

 

[Bryan Lord]

USF is garbage and I'd blame CR for having to watch this but they were in the big east too.

USF is god awful.....we aren't playing well at all, could/should easily be up 20-plus, USF is that bad.

First 10 minutes of the game was as painful as a BC-Rutgers double header. Neither team looked good and it was just sloppy. Too many turnovers, unforced errors, and just uninspired play. USF is not good, period.

Last 10 minutes UConn played much better. Adams really started to move the ball and made several outstanding passes. Tough UConn defense led to easy transition baskets and UConn actually looked like they were having fun. Hopefully we can keep that energy in the 2nd half

Who was nervous? That team is absolutely abysmal.

The people who thought them beating Memphis meant they turned a corner therefore are becoming a good team.

 

[Chin Diesel]

There is a whole lot of complacency and contentment amongst the basketball players on USF. Easy scholarship "earned" to "compete" like they did tonight.

Yeah of course they are. How dare we offer that our defense was really good and that was part of them being "abysmal"?

Offense steadily improving too. Was 120ish after Brimah's first game back. Now at 72.

What's the updated RPI? Is this one of those games that causes UConn to drop despite winning just because USF is that bad?

45 after tonight according to warrennolan.com. Yup, looks like they fell back 6 spots beating USF on the road.
