IU shot 58% from the field and nearly lost to Army. Army took almost 20 more shots (huge steals/turnover disparity). Oof.

Also, top notch post from the IU message board.

Agreed, if they get the big man queen outta bmore then they would have a really good class coming in, but I'll never forget goin on the road vs them and handing it to them in '08, JC coached his a** off that day, one of the more gratifying wins I've watched because we were short handed and they were a top ten team wit a dog in Dj White and and Eric Gordon

Amen - that was a really satisfying win.
 
The “ESPN Analytics“ (which I often find terrible) win probability for us vs. Indiana at the moment translates to following odds:

Spread: UConn -4.5
Moneyline: -210

Curious what people think line will be as unfathomable for me to think it will be 4.5 even if Castle definitely out (and Clingan on minutes limit)… I saw Indiana-Army game and the eye test difference is stark
 
fwiw, FGCU is still a pesky team. Didn't see the Indiana game, but saw their game vs Pitt, which had tremendous height advantage, and still only won by 12 @home. Five FGCU guys scored double figs.
 
I am a tad worried about IU's four man, he's not super tall, or athletic, or a shooter but he's got some heft to him that could give Karaban problems and he is a baller.

Based on your description the IU 4 man should be worried about Alex

It goes both ways. Just thought he was the best player on IU when I saw them play.

We should have a major advantage at the SG/SF spots. I don't see anyone on their roster who is going to stop Tristen and Castle from feasting.

This assumes Castle is healthy.
 
I’m looking for the bench to have a bounce back game. I’m 99% positive Hurley will lean on his starters in this one, but if a couple of these guys give us surprising minutes, it could be a blowout.
 
IU has beaten gulf coast and army by a combined 14 pts.. should serve as a great final tune up before Texas on monday.

I really wish IU was blowing people out. The most dangerous thing for UConn is thinking this is an easy game. Take them seriously and it’s a W.

They're in a bit of a shoot-out with a just okay Wright St. team (who themselves have a bad defense). We shouldn't have problems scoring on Sunday. Should be an entertaining game.

And Wright St. is without their preseason-Horizon-League-player-of-the-year leading scorer. So Indiana's not going to be happy about how many points they gave up.
 
I said we could beat them without Castle and got eyes rolled at me. They suck. We’ll be focused

Gulf Coast was fun when they had that dunk city team.

I visited Florida Gulf Coast when my daughter was looking at schools. The arena signage really played up the dunk city theme. The area where FGCU is located is beautiful. I told my my daughter if she didn't go there, I would. I'd be like Rodney Dangerfield from "Back To School". :)
 
Indiana calls timeout, up 7 with 3:30 left. KenPom line is 11, Vegas spread was 15.5 (with more info about Wright St's best player being out).

How long ago Ft Myers hammered with Ian

Struggled with army and wright state without their best player and conference player of year. Basically, their defense is abysmal. Play solid d and huskies dominate. If castle plays its a rout

Won by 9. Held Wright St scoreless for 3 min after the timeout at least. Still gave up 1.05 PPP to Wright St without their best player. Scored the same PPP as Toledo and less than Colorado St against Wright.

They can't shoot and don't really run any stuff that gets them good looks other than some lobs to their bigs for dunks. Biggest thing will be keeping them off the free throw line. It'll be a little bit like a Providence game, except they're not really tough and don't rebound.

We also had 2 more days to prep for them.
