Looked 6'7" to me... shorter than Alex. Condon and Haugh both looked 6'10"+.
Sorry. I meant the Jumbotron at MSG.
The last few games at the Garden the Hurley Family has been strategically seated courtside next to UConn bench. Don't know if that's AD Dave's idea or Danny's. LOL
Good point but still would of substituted Stewart for Ross on offense at end of the game, especially when we were inboudning the ball. Ross just is not strong with the ball in his hands. It looks like a game of hot potato with his having to make decisions passing the ball.
Yes that was comical. "Hey everyone watch me school this 6' 8" guy who just had a tremendous momentum killing drive to the basket through our bigs just 30 seconds prior."
A look back to late 2022 would surely find a post or two in favor of benching T Newton. How'd that season turn out?
39 out of 40 minutes is crazy for Karaban wtf.
That wasn't really it. He didn't make many passes to open players. He's standing out there pounding the ball. Some of that is guys not moving or cutting or screening. I'm seeing almost none of the off the ball screening we used to see. That was our calling card. It may be that Dan and Luke don't think this team can run it.
inbounding the ball continues to be a problem. They do realize that the opponent wants you to pass it to the corner, right?
That was his first. Absolutely a foul.
It was a good foul as it worked out well for us. He prevented an easy basket at a critical time when Florida was gaining momentum. Basically resulted in a turnover due to the two missed free throws. It wasn’t his night and he was pretty much a non factor.
LMAO!! yes
Its a Hurley blindspot, he won't take AK off the floor. When Mullins minutes increases Hurley has gotta shave some minutes off of AK to keep him fresh and give Stew some run. AK had two early first half fouls vs Arizona and still managed to play 35 minutes in that game.
This is a good insight. We could not stop Lee in the first half. Too fast. By the second half his legs had already had a very good workout. Add a long fresh 6-7 defender and he becomes right sized. But Fla didn't really have anyone who could stop Malachi and apparently his energy was in much better shape by the second half than Lee's. We went 9 deep and as usual it takes it best toll the longer the game goes on. I'm looking forward to Furphy getting more minutes as we start playing league games so that he can be used in places as the season progresses. He seems to have some different skills. This brings back memories of the Henefield and Sheffer eras here we had a deep bench. Really psyched watching how this team progresses!
There’s all the depth in the world for him to play an easy 30 minutes a game. It’s so unnecessary.
I think there’s more movement than you’re giving credit for. It’s just a lot tougher to run all that action against really physical teams like Florida and Arizona. The bigger issue to me is Silas being completely uncomfortable operating the offense.
I was sitting down in 115 and it was a much more balanced split. I'm guessing the 200's were more weighted towards UConn fans -- that's typically what happens. They also had some sort of sing-songy chant about halfway through the second half that got fairly loud. Also seemed lame .
Hurley made it a point to give guys more freedom for creativity this year than to have them run the same offenses as in the past. It hurt us a lot lost year when guys were able to key in on our sets and our players weren’t prepared to take anyone one on one.
