Gotta take into consideration 4 teams. If this was just uconn vs florida more uconn would have been in the building. Byu contingent might still have been salty about losing and could have been rooting against us as well.
Can we stop with the Tristen stuff? SD is not TN. Hassan was never the PG Malachi already is. Love HD but he was a different player. He was never an option to start at PG.
I agree, he played great and I was surprised he didn’t get more minutes in the 2nd half, but at the same time the guys who were on the court such as Mullins, Ross and Solo were playing well… it won’t show up on box score but Ross was a difference maker
I have to disagree with this. Demary has had his moments like against BYU or his triple double game. Give him time as Newton was inconsistent when he first came here.
Hmm only on D. His offense was awful.
The scenario is the exact same. I’d encourage you to revisit those threads in the early winter of 2023.
I was thinking the same thing. Not sure why he didn’t come back in the Gabe after he was subbed out early in 2nd half
Braylon had fouled out. Who are you going to put in? Reibe? Millender?
He was our starting PG his Sr. year. He did play on 1 leg but Diarra did start.
Cheap ones in that physical game.
Yeah and he caused Malacai to a bad shot when he threw an awful pass to him late in the shot clock. Please, keep the ball out of Ross's hands unless wide open for a 3. Stewart was playing good D, making nice passes to Tarris and scoring. Not sure why he did not play much in the second half. It seems like Hurley likes him to start and play well and then sub him for Mullins and Ross. Though Mullins played the 2 more this game.
It is more about his role within a well-functioning offense. I think Malachi is more aggressive and creating on his own so there is less of an adjustment for him. But you want the change of style from Silas allowing the offense to run through the wings (especially once we get Ball and Mullins at the same time).
Floridas big weakness is their backcourt. Fland is not a good PG. Maybe its because hes a freshmen and needs time to grow and who knows he may grow into the position and be really good as the season wears on but if he doesnt step up theyre not going to be a serious threat to make the F4 nevermind repeat. Lee although he had a great night only averages 8 per game and thats simply not going to get it done at the 2. You need a guy that can get buckets consistently. Their frontline is absolutely awesome. Among the best in the country. If they had our backcourt itd be lights out. Repeat would be likely.
If inbound is after a basket, Alex can run the baseline. UConn should set screen for defender on Karaban, maybe get a quick foul there, or at least it should open up things.
Yup. Out of necessity. Maybe if he wasnt hobbled he couldve taken his game to another level but we`ll never know.
Boogie is a sophomore.
