I was busy witnessing a 3-year old enjoying Pad Thai and then having to navigate the emotionally turbulent shock of there being no cake at Nana's birthday dinner, so I watched from 16-20. It worked for me.
It's the back up quarterback syndrome. The guy the fans don't see much is always better than the one getting the playing time.

It should be with how deliberate he is….how many 10 sec calls/ almost calls?
According to some, he deserves more time. This is based on…….nothing

Did you not see what happened when Nowell was in the game? They attacked him every time. So what’s your point?
Hey fellow UConn fan -
I have seen Mahaney all year. He is awful. He is also a junior who is getting abused both offensively and defensively. Frankly, he is not nearly the ball handler you think he is. He's struggled against pressure all year and cannot handle the physicality of the Big East. Nowell is a freshman. It's apples to oranges. What can I say to you...Mahaney is not good. He cannot be the backup point guard the rest of the year. If you can't see that, I don't know what to say.
This is based on Hurley saying to Borges that he believes Ross deserves more time, and that he has not played him enough. Hurleys word is good enough for me
Thing is Nowell is a Freshmen who has barely played while Mahaney is already who he is at a Jr. There is more upside with Nowell geting more minutes and he did have one nice drive at the end of the half were he couldn't finish at the basket. He just needs more time and I think Hurley sees no harm of backing Diarra for 5-8 minutes in the first half games.
It was a good win but a win that should not have been in question. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves with the 3peat business again.
If he plays 8 mins in the fist half, things have turned for the worse. Sure, he is a freshmen. The upside is debatable. The strongest argument for Nowell is that he can’t be worse than Mahaney. Well, that may be true but it’s hardly an endorsement. Either way, neither are the solution now and most likely next year. I will give you it’s been a very small sample set and his minutes have been limited. It’s also about to be March and in those limited times I have seen nothing exciting or encouraging.
And he didn’t in a game we were up 10 for a
Hurley wants to trust him, but doesn’t yet.
On top of that, why the hell was diarra in the game up 15 with 2 mins left???
Yes, in 2 minutes of play he scored a perfect Blutoski 0.00 across the board.
Maybe as a junior or senior but there’s no case for him being the starting PG next season
Yes, unless he’s hiding some skills we haven’t seen. By this time he should have been able to put the ball on the floor, pull up or go to the hole. But nothing from him. And he’s gotten benefit of doubt from injury and inexperience but he looks healthy.
