Let's try this again.... (cut and paste is not always your friend )

 

[TheShot1990]

More Reed please

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Much needed win to steady the ship. Nice effort all around. Reed dominating is the difference

 

[uchusky32]

Great win. We scored some points. Which has to be good for their confidence. 20 and 10 from Reed is big for us. Needs to play. And we need to dump the ball into him. AK is at his best when he isn't the focus.

Got to get better on D. Defending dribble penetration. Finding the open player when we hedge at the top. And got to secure the ball better with our own dribble.

 

[Hoophound]

Play Reed a lot. Play Nowell more. Try Mahaney as a Joey C type SG to spell Ball. We need depth and ball handling.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Probably the first game this year Solo/Liam/Alex/Tarris were all on together. Impossible to guard when they’re all clicking.

 

[Scott2Tate]

Love Samson, but I think it’s time to start Tarris

 

[Huskyforlife]

Mahaney first DNP of the season, feel bad for him, but it was past time.

 

[lateralous]

Offense looked good tonight with 5 guys over 13 points. Feeding Reed Jr down low makes such a difference.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

One the hiccups were cleared, good balance with five 13+ point scorers. Diarra was key in this win. Start Reed!

 

[Scott2Tate]

Also would’ve liked to have seen Ross on the floor a bit more

 

[Huskyforlife]

Anyone who still thinks the difference between Tarris and Samson is marginal doesn’t know ball.

 

[YellowMamba]

If we start Reed this late in the season I am concerned Johnson will lose more confidence. I am ok as long as Reed is finishing games and gets more minutes but keep Johnson as starter

 

[Huskyforlife]

Wish we rested Diarra for 5 minutes in the second half, especially as we pulled away. Nowell wasn’t good in the first, but I don’t think he looked afraid today.

 

[Mets8692]

Reed needs to start. Please Dan, put your fondness for Samson behind you, all of Uconn Fandom is begging you.

 

[superjohn]

Two stars of the game. Boat even got his popcorn to match the whole ensemble. Sartorial splendor from the Boat show.

 

[uconnbaseball]

We’ll make the tournament and probably won’t be a fun draw.

To actually be a threat to go deep, we have got to make teams work for baskets.

I didn't think Nowell was that bad, in fact I thought it was the best he looked all year. That pass to a cutting Karaban was nice.

 

[BlueWolf25]

I don’t know. Alex, Liam and Stewart all played solidly tonight so there was no one to take minutes from. And Ross did nothing with the minutes he got

 

[Huskyforlife]

The bounce pass to Reed was on the money too. His two shots were ugly, and he still struggled a bit with ball pressure, but it wasn’t bad enough for him to not see the floor again.

It doesn’t matter who starts . We have history of the dominate 5 coming off the bench to win National Championship

I agree he didn’t play great in the first half, but if Hurley is saying he regrets not playing him more in the games, then he needs to actually back up his words. Obviously he’s seeing something more from him in practice

 

[98Uconn]

Nowell with solid first half minutes led to Diarra getting some rest and having a very good second half.

Every time we think the ship is steady it starts taking on water!

 

[JMick]

First time in a while we actually looked good. Hope we can keep it up and get ourselves off the 8/9 line. Going on a run and getting a 7 would make a big difference
