23-19 UConn

Ollie got a tech a minute ago for basically nothing.

Foul now on Giffey after Melvin hooked his elbow around him to create room in the lane.

The refs are going to give Kevin the rookie coach business tonight.

Napier did not come to play tonight. Ridiculously stupid behind the back pass, and then doesn't go to floor for loose ball right in front of him

He was way outside the coach's box

Wow, DePaul turns the ball over, between the player's legs right to Calhoun who knocks it back under both the UConn and DePaul's players legs to the guys hands, he kicks to Melvin for a 3, and DePaul goes on a 5 point run.

Another stupid shot by Bazz

 

[upstater]

I wonder if Tolksdorf might get a look here. DePaul is kinda lax on D.

 

[BarkingDog]

It seems like the moment it looks like we're about to pull away, a bad shot, a bonehead play and a turnover keeps depaul in the game.

 

[uconngb]

Leon is in...

 

[uconngb]

Napier is sleepwalking tonight

 

[uconngb]

Unreal.....they r going to lose to DePaul. Playing in quicksand right now

 

[Vuce]

DePaul is 1-10 in their last 11 - we gotta win this or it will hurt our RPI

 

[upstater]

Nolan has to play bigger

 

[uconngb]

This is the worst D uconn has played all year.....it's friggin DePaul guys

 

[uconngb]

Can anyone step in and take a charge maybe?

 

[FrostyNuggets]

Pat Verbeek is sitting behind DePaul bench.

 

[Hi-Low]

I counted 8 Bonehead plays in 1st half...mostly Boat/Bazz....3+more in 2nd half we lose.

 

[Kitaman]

We are making Depaul look like a Sweet 16 team. Boat and Bazz just got to take care of the ball and make better decisions. If they do that we win.

 

[UCweCONN]

This team plays down to the competition. It looks like they expected an easy game in much the same way as I expected us to beat Villanova. They have to win this game.

They are both playing horribly....and the D is non existent

This one was predictable. This team simply isn't good enough up front to pull away from anybody. I don't think my eyes can handle anymore Phil Nolan this season.

It's getting to a point where you wonder if it's more than just a kid being a freshman and whether he'll ever be able to contribute at this level. At this point, his ceiling as a senior looks like maybe sophomore year Hilton Armstrong.

Good thing DePaul sucks, because UConn would be down by 20 to a good team playing this way.

I think Boatright and Bazz have 4-5 unforced T/O's so far.

Defense has been pretty poor also.

Shooting has been good.

Agreed....they look like they thought they could just show up and win. If there was anyone at all on the bench, I would sit both Bazz and Boat for the way they loafed thru that first half

They each have 3 TOs and they were all of the careless variety

Wow.....great start Bazz
