Georgetown Post Game Thread

The Dan Hurley Kill Everybody Tour rolls on…

 

[F101Voodoo]

X-Factor for the win-- The Bench.. Joey Onions was in a zone and Diarra had an awesome floor game with energy.. I am ecstatic that they were down coming into the second half..They needed to be tested and they were for the first 30 minutes.. Playing with pride and energy.. Got win number 13.. Will pay dividends during the BE season and beyond.

That is the attitude and the bench Huskies need to be on the final four and go for trophy.

Give credit to Georgetown for outrebounding us. But terrible officiating. Ted Valentine is such a joke of a ref, T'ing up people after blowing the call.

 

[RichCTBB]

we haven’t had our backs against the wall until tonight. I just love how we responded. G town has some good players. The Big East is gunning for us now.

 

[nadavtheman]

Just win baby!!! They all won't be easy. Bulls eye on our back every game. Every other team's Super Bowl. Give Georgetown credit. And our boys even more. They took the punches, stayed composed, guys stepped up, and won the game, again by double digits. Every game is a learning experience. 13-0 into the holiday break. Nothing to complain about. Happy Holidays to all the Yarders out there. Go UConn!!!!

Edit: Full disclosure, I fully expect that we lose a game sooner or later, but NOT THAT GAME, a quad 4 loss at home. That was scary at the 12 minute mark down seven saying "Is this really $#@%&@# happening?"

We can just grind teams down with our depth, even when having our C- game. When you’re truly 9 deep, someone is gonna step up.
Can we work on Sanogo getting position down low instead of pick and popping every play on offense? That was gross to watch.
Joey C is so multifaceted. Played decent D. Can take a guy off the dribble and can shoot from anywhere. I love this kid.
Survived a trap game and 8 days to Nova; you better believe these kids are gonna be running box out drills and entry passes for hours on end.

 

[GameTime]

We will hear about it nationally, that we “barely” beat the worst team in the big East. What they will miss is our seventh, eighth guy, embarrassed top notch talent. Joey C to the rescue

TV Ted shouldn’t even be allowed to ref a d1 game anymore. He’s made an embarrassment of himself time and time again.

 

[Umami Zen]

As Mike Tyson said.."Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face".. Our guys responded to the punch in the face.. Got the W

and multiple players that can get you a bucket

Dangerous combo!

As long as we are dishing out the danger all is good…

Ted Valentine did not ref this game.

That behind-the-back bounce pass to Clingan...oooooooo

That was a get off you couch and jump up and down and holler sequence.

Not an easy pass to a big man but Joey got it to him waist high for the easy slam.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Great adjustment bringing in Clingan, and especially Diarra and Joey C. I was calling for it all game. Akok is not someone you need a big body on, as we all know he is pretty much only a spot up 3pt shooter. Diarra brought great intensity and pressure and Joey just did it all.

Samson is more needed than ever. I’m a fan
of Karaban, but he struggles MIGHTILY with athletic and/or strong bigs, and he is incredibly streaky offensively. Hurley noticed this about 5 minutes later than he should’ve, but it’s all good, a win is a win.

Joey Ridiculous

Remember when words such as rediculous and insane were negative….

This is so important. Of course we’re not going to go undefeated the whole season. But when we lose, it had better be to a strong NET opponent, preferably on the road. To lose to a Q4 opponent at home would have brutal for our metrics.

Nah.....

 

[RichCTBB]

Ted Valentine did not ref this game.

You sure about that?

 

[Umami Zen]

give georgetown credit -- i actually thought we defended relatively well and they just hit tough shots all night. akok and spears clearly came to play.

Thought Akok was moving really well..Looked fluid and strong..

 

[prankster]

2 Observations:

1. During our 2nd quarter drought, I was praying for a mid-range game. Lots of room there to exploit. Thanks, Joey C.

2. Coach told them they needed stops and BOOM! He should tell them that earlier in the game, IMHO.

We were tested, but we did not "barely" beat Gtown. We won by 11.

 

[NYtoCT]

And of course Jackson with a very quiet near-triple double

 

[djct1999]

Joey C may get 2 top 10 plays on sportscenter tonight.

 

[UconnU]

Never will I ever see another 12-0 bench run in 1:20.

This game came down to depth and conditioning. Georgetown was just out of gas. Good to see we can win playing a different style and shooting like crap.

Another double digit win!

Raftery: "Oh my goodness!!!!"

...well before Calcaterra's long 3.

Amazing that old coot knows exactly what's coming right before it happens.

 

[awfuldan]

Patrick Ewing did some bizarre things in this game. Akok Akok was guarding Joey C for long stretches of that game! And why did he wait so long to call a time-out during our second half run??
