Furman Postgame Thread

[NIT88]

And Tarris was legendary.

He was the big guy version of Kemba.

 

[Hi-Low]

Thank you Tarris! Hopefully the game on Sunday starts before 10:30....and pray that Silas is a go!

 

[jleves]

Sorry - took me a minute to get these all merged and posted.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Thank god for Reed. That was not very fun. Need Silas Sunday.

At least certain posters can’t yap about how we are guaranteed to lose to a 15 😂

Funny they are no where to be found.

 

[Mr. French]

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.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Hockey team looked good

 

[FreeDogs]

Not pretty but it’s a win. Survive and advance!

Get some sleep and see everyone at Xfinity on Sunday at…8:45!? Geez.

Yeah, the time draws for us are terrible

 

[VivaLsVgs]

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.

 

[UCFan1513]

Does anyone have any intel on Silas beyond what MAUconnFan and the media have shared?

 

[TheShot1990]

What the hell was Braylon thinking launching that 3 with 10 seconds to go in the half??? Selfish? Stupid? What?

 

[Rico444]

Tarris with the 1.5 assist to turnover ratio, kind of weak. Hope he bounces back with a better performance Sunday

 

[TheShot1990]

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

Remember the Albany game…

 

[my2cents]

All that will be talked about is 3 point shooting, but Mullins contributed a lot. He had two key steals late.
Big drop off in point guard pay, huh.

 

[upstater]

Yes, I was nervous.

Braylon never misses 2 pointers.

Please god in heaven, someone tell him that.

 

[boog204]

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.

 

[KingAG]

It took us a while to put away Iona as well. I see the vision.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Just win baby! Survive and advance.

Goated performance from Tarris. He should make all tournament team for that showing alone

 

[HooperScooper]

Assuming Tom is asleep.

Tom needs to designate someone for these late games. He's too old for this. 😀

 

[Milo65]

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

 

[Jaydumo20]

Tom needs to designate someone for these late games. He's too old for this. 😀

Yeah we went 0-8 for post game thread attempts.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Tarris Reed with an all time great UConn game. We are clearly not the same team without Silas.

At one point we had one of the most ridiculous lineups I’ve ever seen us have in an NCAA tournament.

Bit you know what? We survived.

 

[REB1094]

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!

 

[navery12]

Tarris and Alex carried us, which is what we needed. Ross's defense on House in the 2nd half was great.

I like our chances to not miss 15 wide open 3's on Sunday, and hopefully Silas will be back

 

[GlastonTim]

Want Wilkins if he goes in the portal.

 

[gsmooth]

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.
