GAME THREAD

[joober jones]

Nolan needs to limit the fouls - we need his rebounding

 

[huskyharry]

LK with his 2nd corner 3.
then blocks his opponents shot from the perimeter.
Then OC makes a 3...they are getting their offensive rhythm against the zone.

then a 3rd three from LK...TS is passing really well against the 1-3-1 zone.

KF in for TO.

 

[HuskyJJ]

Our perimeter D isn't very good. Too much help

 

[Palatine]

Samuel sees the court very well.

 

[huskyharry]

illegal screen by KF (PN had same call earlier).

KF with a good defensive reb in traffic. Good drive and kick by TS.

then 2nd illegal screen on KF

 

[Scot-e]

This is like playing a team from the "Shire". Hobbits.

 

[huskyharry]

TS drives into lane and tosses alley-oop for AB who is bumped out of the way at waist level (not called), so doesn't receive pass. KF scraps to tie up the ball.
On D, AB falls for ball fake and fouls jump shooter.

 

[Palatine]

40 minutes of garbage time.

 

[huskyharry]

LK blocks another perimeter shot.

TS and OC finish well on the break. OC can't finish the and one, but then gets a steal on defense.
UConn players hitting the boards HARD...rewarded by bogus over-the-back call on LK

 

[his dudeness]

Omar's handle is improved

 

[UCONNfan1]

Just checking some other scores...

Indiana down to Hillsdale 15-16 with 7 minutes left in the 1st half.
Kent$ucky up 34-22 over Montevallo with 5 min left in 1st half
WVU up 28-25 over Fairmont with 6 minutes to go in the 1st half

These exhibition games are just there to work on some real game type of stuff and I expect the coaches will see a few stretches of things that need work...

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I like Samuel. He's got a good feel for the game. He's going to be good.

 

[huskyharry]

Omar's handle is improved

definitely shows more confidence as well. Cold from 3 and a little ambitious on his passes though

 

[Kitaman]

Is anybody cheering in front of their computer?

 

[Dogbreath2U]

The video looks like the camera lens is wet or something...awful.

 

[Rico444]

I like Samuel. He's got a good feel for the game. He's going to be good.

Hard to tell against such a terrible team, but I agree. Him and Kromah are the clear stand outs to me.

 

[UCONNfan1]

Hard to tell against such a terrible team, but I agree. Him and Kromah are the clear stand outs to me.

Some nice stats from the 2 of them - Samuel with 6 points and 6 assists, Kromah with 9 points. Have to be pleasantly surprised with that!

 

[sledog]

It's - gasp am. - the dance team! omg.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Omar had a nice assist on one of LK's 3's.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

ouch, Leon airball.

 

[huskyharry]

LT set up well on two 3s but misses both...misses a 3rd before halftime
OC with strong DRs

 

[BoatShow]

Everyone straight chuckin threes.

 

[Palatine]

ugh

 

[bmayuc]

that was an ugly last 7+ minutes!

 

[Scot-e]

It really is hard taking anything seriously tonight. I think it helps player like OC and NG who seeing some shots drop gain confidence- other then that I kinda just feel bad for the HS team we are playing.
