Furman Postgame Thread

Obviously the stakes are different as you get deeper in, but that’s gotta be the best performance in UConn tourney history. Ray had 36 and Caron & Kemba had serious moments deeper in rounds, but my god that was incredible.

Thank the Basketball Lords for Tarris Reed. Without him UConn might have suffered an upset to a 15 seed and would have been the biggest storyline of the NCAAT. Everyone on the team should donate 10% of their NIL money to Tarris after that legendary performance. This wasn't an exhibition or a cupcake game in November-this was the NCAAT. Hats off to Tarris. The Kodiak attack saved UConn.

Agreed. The crowd was foaming at the mouth every time Furman did something. Never been so relieved to win a first round game.

Reeds performance is on a the short list of best UConn NCAA performances of my lifetime.

The chat room was as toxic as ever.

We need Silas back.

AK, as always, hit some huge shots.

We need either Braylon or Solo to hit shots. I’ve given up on the fantasy where they both play well.

For those of you hating on Malachi, he had 7 assists and only one turnover. Our terrible execution forced him into some bad end of clock shots, but all in all he played well.

Hopefully Reibe can forget this one.

Its incomprehensible just how poor some of our guys are defensively.

We’re still in the tourney and that makes me happy.

Tarris was a MONSTER! Alex had a decent game. Ross played strong defense in the second half. I don’t know what’s going on with Ball. Survive and advance. I was in Albany when UConn struggled against Iona in 2023, I remember Brimah sending us into overtime against St. Joes in 2014. First round jitters

Most important thing is that you survive and advance, and UConn did

SHOUTOUT BIG HOSS TARRIS “WILT CHAMBERLAIN” REED!!!!! Completely dominant, completely unstoppable

Karaban had a really good second half and overall solid game to complement Reed

With the exception of Mali’s and Ross’ defense on Wilkins in the second half, incredibly scary performance from everyone else that makes me very nervous

But they survived. They advanced. Bring on UCLA!

Hopefully these boys get off the toilet tomorrow, other than the Reed monster, because the number of turds they have been dropping are stinking everything up.

Truth hurts. This type of performance will not get it done against any P4 teams or P-whatever teams. Alex came alive in the 2nd half and Ross played some solid D and Malachi held up for some, but someone else has to step up and be consistent besides Reed Jr., somebody, anybody. He was the only one that did anything against St. John's in the BET final. Without Tarris tonight, perish the thought.

I am hoping tonight was a hung over from the St John game. Never seen UConn team playing this poor defensively. It could be due to Silas being out. Mullins and Solo are defensive liabilities when they are making points. Mullins had a couple of key steals and made up for the poor shooting all night from the 3.

We need more from those 2 on Sunday. Thank God for Reed who was man among men. Karaban had a solid game but Reed was the man tonight.
 
That probably is the best game by a UConn player of all time. We lose to a 15 if Tarris doesn’t put the team on his back. We could win the championship, and this performance would probably be the biggest reason it didn’t go up in flames. Thank you Tarris.
