A little bit of ineffective help defense from Wolf as well. Not really doing anything.

Teams beating us off the dribble will cause all sorts of headaches for this team.

Niels with JAM, LOL

Three shots in and out.

Wow, some great D by UConn. Our best inside D seems to be when Bazz or Boat have access to the lane and the other team tries to take it down the middle. We get some strips that way. Maybe we can try to force teams to do just that.

 

[housekeys]

Wow, Niels... needs to enter a dunk contest. Credit to Bazz on that play

 

[Kitaman]

you know, Bazz is very good

 

[Gurleyman]

Napier with 8 assists, no turnovers, 5 or 6 rebounds.

 

[Gurleyman]

Make it one turnover. Oh well.

 

[housekeys]

Boat needs to practice some of those end of clock game situations.

 

[Gurleyman]

Boat had Olander wide, side open on a flare but had his eyes locked on the rim, picked up his dribble - bad shot clock management.

 

[housekeys]

Bazz and Boat are so quick, sometimes they are so open off a dribble, they hesitate, only to have the defender recover.

 

[housekeys]

Boat show!!!

 

[Gurleyman]

Boat clearly thinking "two for one" there. Gotta like that clock management.

 

[housekeys]

Nice play by Tyler... You know Ollie is in confidence building mode at this point. Omar and Tyler still in and giving it the old college try.

 

[sledog]

Didn't beat the spread.

 

[housekeys]

Good win. It is only Harvard ( they did beat BC ... like I said...it is only Harvard ) Number of negative things countered by many more positive things. A confidence building masterpiece by Ollie, IMO.

 

[arnie3]

That's a game that a newbie coach lets get out of control. Nice coaching job. Nice win. Big night for D.D.

 

[joober jones]

Giffey doing it Beverly style. No dunks for his whole career, then 2 in the same game.

 

[housekeys]

Wolf barely played in the second half, but definitely had a positive impact. We are seeing some consistency and that is a very good sign. DD, also a silent big time contributor in this win. Hope these players can keep it going. Omar and Tyler are still work in progress. But can't complain about a win. Well done.

I could be wrong but a 7 month contract does not give a coach much room to rag on the players, the last thing he needs is a rebellion or discontent. I really feel for him, his roster is average, and he is forced to coach for his life. It just suxs!

Yeah if Manuel would get off his butt and extend him we would have had better recruiting. what is he waiting for? He gave a vote of confidence for PP who doesn't deserve it, but drags his feet om KO. go figure. This is really backwards.
