Q

Jeff Goodman is a clown

 

[navery12]

Well, we won

 

[Mister P]

AJ’s defense on Spears was primo !
He was a bloodhound on the ball all game.

Just win baby.

Ugly win… poor defense but a win nonetheless. Karaban saved us big time down the stretch with his 2 huge 3s!

 

[Brochacho]

Thank god Andre Jackson played the defensive game of his life or that's a loss. Hurley moves to 18-0 vs DePaul, Georgetown and Butler. 15-20 vs everyone else in the BE. Wonder how hot his seat would be if those programs weren't abysmal.

More impact on winning than Whitemore IMO.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

We shot great from 3, and still only beat a bad team by 6. Keep working, there’s plenty of room to improve.

 

[husky429]

AJs defense was brilliant.

A road win is a road win, but oof.

 

[Deleted at users request]

Andre with 7 10 7 and held Primo to 1 shot.

He got a lot of his points off put backs and cuts to the rim and just being around the rim in general off ball.

Newton continues to be aggressive and Sanogo getting his in the flow of the offense.

Idk why these games are close and Andre isn’t further along offensively at this point, but building more good habits for what he and this team is right now.

Jackson’s defense on Spears was insane. 0-1. That’s the biggest take away for me, looked like a Naithsmith defensive player of the year today. Newton staying confident driving. Think they missed a couple fouls on the drives but he was still finishing.

Pro: We won a close game
Con: It had to be Georgetown
Pro: If we lost I probably would have gone and played in traffic

Karaban has brake fluid in his veins.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Horrible win for Hurley & the team.

Prime chance to get a "Close Win" by 5 pts or less.

Tristen missed that FT at the end, G'Town gacked the shot to close it to 4.

Over the next few years, we'll look back many times at this "woulda coulda shoulda" opportunity

 

[Malamute]

Let’s give AJax some love here. Brought it on Spears.
Hate we didn’t win easy but finally a win in a tight game. Confidence builder in that regard.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Ugly

 

[Umami Zen]

A win is a win on the road.. Great job by Andre on the boards/assists/on Primo.. Karaban with onions from three.. Adama with some great offensive boards.. Team showed better composure at closing time than in previous defeats.. A good sign.. Clingan threading the needle on some assists from top of the key..

Next week ..Bring the A game..

 

[Palatine]

No complaints. Not our best effort. Displayed a bit more poise in the final three minutes. Hey, a 1 point win on the road is a blow out.

 

[k-walk]

We shot 5 fts lol

Newton doesn’t get calls for whatever reason

 

[navery12]

7 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists for Jackson and he held their top scorer to 0 points. That'll play

I think you mean Depaul as I didn't know Georgetown has 2 bad teams? LOL!

Some people on here perceive any Hurley criticism as hate, so let me get this out there - I’m a huge fan of the job Hurley’s doing when it comes to building this program. They’re in a pretty good place now and set up even better for the future.

At the same time, he has some really bad, really stubborn habits that have hurt his teams. As an example, we’re in February and no one on the bench seems to know his role, likely because there’s no consistency with how players are used.

I’d like to see this staff mix and match players more thoughtfully. We saw a lineup out there today that consisted of Diarra, Alleyne, Jackson, and Clingan. When Diarra takes over for Newton, he should be paired with offensive-minded players like Hawkins and Sanogo. Meanwhile, someone like Joey C should be paired with good defenders like Jackson and Clingan. Obviously this is oversimplifying things for example purposes, but you get the idea.

There are better ways to get 8-9 guys consistent minutes on this team than how they’ve been doing it all year.

 

[BiggieSmall]

Jackson may have held primo in check but how many gambles did he take that they scored on like 3 or 4?

Hurley still hasn’t figured out what to do with him on offense. First half his man clogged the paint. It’s hard to play offense when it’s 4 on 5.

Yikes

Jackson playing within himself on offense in the second half and playing great D all game was huge. Newton good, Sanogo decent and Karaban with some huge shots. Hawkins had an off game but we had enough in the tank to offset that.
