Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 2386692, member: 1559"] Late in the second half, there was some encouraging stretches, primarily when Larrier was not on the floor. When Larrier was on the floor, the team was out of sync. He had to have a very negative +/- when he was on the floor. The guards played up and down. Vital, Adams, and Gilbert look like they can play well together. I'm not sure what Anderson brings to the table although he did defend well at times. It looks like bigs by committee this year. Carlton has promise, but he needs to get stronger. Cobb throws his weight around and looks in good shape, but he looks like he will play limited minutes. Diarra looked rusty in limited minutes. Whaley looks like he needs to redshirt. Overall, a discouraging exhibition game, but it was good that they played a real team so they saw the problems. I'm really worried about Larrier. He just was not good in any aspect of the game tonight. I think UConn needs him to play well to be a good team, but if he plays anywhere close to how he played tonight, he will detract from the team.
