Reed’s record night proves UConn’s power when its big bear is uncaged

PHILADELPHIA — On numerous occasions the past several weeks, Dan Hurley has highlighted the value of Tarris Reed, Jr. by reiterating that h...

I don’t have much to say about the refs but there is one thing I’d like a clarification on. When the Furman player lost his shoe the refs stopped the game so he could put it back on. Do refs do that? I didn’t think they’re supposed to. As a matter of fact Reed lost his shoe earlier in the game and they didn’t stop the game. Or did Furman call a timeout? I was confused about that.

I know with injuries it’s up to the refs’ discretion when or if to stop play. I’m guessing it’s the same for shoes/other court interferences.

He was playing with pure joy. He smiled the whole game. I love that kid. I dont want to hear that we don't have one guy who can win us games. We've had one all season. He's just not a guard (though he still want to be)

Kemba smiled constantly in that Big East/NCAA tourn. runs. Mojo.

Will people please stop saying Braylon isn’t ready for the NBA…people say this every year about our top recruits when they have a stretch of bad games. This isn’t 2002. staying in college to “develop” is not a thing anymore so let’s get over that.

Congrats to my UConn friends. I hope you saw that Furman was much better than our record. We have good really good talent on the team and it showed last night. Now we hold our breaths to see who hits the portal and if Coach Richey moves on. I will be pulling for you guys the rest of the way. I will say it again, enjoy every moment of what you have at UConn. Never take it for granted.

The officiating was terrible tonight. Saw a few clean blocks by UConn, the phantom foul on Solo on the 3 point shot. The screw up with the goaltending call. Meanwhile Tarris was being held, and nothing.

Omg stop….,that was 100x better than any single BE games. Refs don’t get every single call right, they are human. We also got a “phantom call” our way on Smiths drive late but people on this board don’t highlight when a call goes our way.

The refereeing was more than fine

We are unlikely to beat UCLA without Demary. No team can lose a star in the tournament and expect to go deep.

Well, it's a win. Duke struggled against Siena, so it happens.

I'd actually be curious to see what the record for 1 and 2 seeds are when they beat their 15 or 16 by single digits. Not sure if there are enough people interested in seeing those numbers, though. 13 1 seeds won by 9 or less since 1985, finding that out for 15 seeds might be more of an undertaking.

Wondering how those 13 1 seeds did, though, moving forward.

UConn open -4.5

That's with Silas and Stewie out. The BB gods sending a message.
