Georgetown Post Game Thread

[RuffRuff]

The national media doesn't view Donovan Clingan as the second coming of Lou Alcindor.

Clingan has 3rd highest career BPM all time, Zach Edey 1 at around 14. Clingan was 15 his sophomore year and 11.5 his freshman year. He was easily the biggest difference maker on those two teams, even in those 13 minutes.

You take him off the 24 team and stick Samson Johnson in there, you are talking a completely different team.

UConn is 24-2. Two losses are to the undefeated 1 team in the country and to a major conference rival on the road. We are a legitimate natty contender. Like have some humility and understand there are only about 8 teams in this spot.

That #1 team just lost 2 games in a row this past week.

Duh.

The national media doesn't think he was the second coming of Alcinor or that he was the only reason Hurley won back to back in dominating fashion.

This team can absolutely get upset in the tourney. We just can’t put teams away.

Everyone will pick this team as the first one or two seed to get upset in the tourney. They have regressed and the bench is so mid.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

We’re a few losses away from being a 5 seed and a first round exit.

So that's awesome!

Calhoun called for more Reibe at halftime.

Game. Set. Match

 

[HW611]

At some point, Mullins is going to have to bring another high level skill consistently outside of shooting.

He plays more like a microwave than any sort of consistent player with a well rounded game.

 

[uconngb]

I've seen plenty of games to know we have plenty of parts that simply need to all be great at same time. Not easy.

Tonight was date night, like always for 25 years. Missed the game.

Huskies won. If we play Michigan, the Wolverines will be in a rock fight.

Yes….we will be throwing pebbles, they will be hoisting boulders. Dont comment if you didn’t watch it.

May have been Valentines Day for you but for the rest of us was Halloween

 

[uconngb]

I just can’t bring myself to be overly upset or concerned with a 24-2 team. Frustrated? Absolutely. But 24-2(14-1) is fun, no?

No

 

[superjohn]

I've seen people post we're going to find out what this team is made of in March.

IMO we're going to find out what this team is made of in the next three games. The Nova and St. John's games will let us know. As Hurley said we better fix our s^^t or we're not going to have a championship season.

 

[uconngb]

Give him a break. He had a bad game. This team is going no where without him so try to be a little more optimistic.

You clearly have not been watching

 

[uconngb]

Don’t get me wrong I love Mullins and he has a beautiful shot but he can’t take over and dominate game the way Silas can. Had 12 boards tonight! Mullins handle just OK. He is going to sit on an NBA bench a lot or go to G league. What is his draft position? He needs strength. Have we seen him power to the basket when contested? 1 more year and he would have that strength and poise. Can he afford to do that? Probably not but I wish he would think about it.

I think this is correct

 

[Huskyforlife]

We’re one game removed from Reibe being played off the court by some backup scrub on Butler and Reed basically having his way with Butlers front court. Reed isn’t the problem with this team, he just had a really bad game.

 

[uconngb]

And with the incredible shrinking bench that our third year players of Ross and Stew are working off of, why in the world would they come back to come off the bench?

Who cares if they do?? They have not proven anything

Michigan was down 16 to northwestern last game

And how did that game end up???

 

[ArizonaHsky]

Its every game

Do we practice, or discuss, or understand how to inbound the ball?

Karaban's and Ball's shooting, and Demary's steady hand won tie game.

Karaban's inbounding passes almost lost the game.

Reed mailed it in mentally all game.

Ross at least slowed down Lewis.

It's a win but my goodness this team is bad for my health.

Yeah but guys need to get open. This is not on Karaban.

 

[ArizonaHsky]

Demary making clutch FTs finally. Love the mental strength.

The bad game is on the staff. Defensive assignments (Solo on Lewis!?) were a mess. Inbounding clearly hasn't been worked on enough. AK needs to not inbound. Be a big hail mary target

And if someone else inbounded the ball all.of a sudden players would get open

 

[ArizonaHsky]

Can’t blame it all on AK. This is on the coaches. It’s been going on almost every game, with different inbounders.

Thank you. The players are not getting open so let's blame the guy taking the ball out of bounds. This is on the coaching staff

 

[ArizonaHsky]

How about try having the tallest guy on the floor inbound the ball??

How about players getting open and coaches setting up plays for them to get open. This is every game now

 

[ArizonaHsky]

I recall Liam was pretty good finishing around the rim. He was bigger and stronger than Mullins, a better rebounder. He could create his own shot when no one else was doing it. I would like to see Mullins do that more often. He had that one baseline fadeaway off the dribble tonight, but need more of that.

I would take Mullins every time over McNeeley.

 

[ArizonaHsky]

McNeeley was being expected to carry the a mediocre team and was hampered by injuries. Mullins is role player on a much better team. I think Mullins will have a better career as an elite role player, and McNeeley is kind of a jack of all trades master of none. I think McNeeley was a more impactful college player, would have liked to see him with a better team around him.

McNeeley wa

He wasn't, he was 45.6% st the rim. Mullins shoots it better from everywhere.

Mullins is much better than McNee

I'm going to be really interested to see where he goes in this draft. He plays young. I haven't quite seen this headiness that makes a big difference out there. He's a sharpshooter, catch and shoot. He's got the turn around in his bag that he'll pull off here and there, but he's not really hunting anything that's not a 3.

The shot off the dribble he has is money. He will be good in the NBA.

 

[ArizonaHsky]

I like Mullins. He is fun to watch. He has a higher ceiling than McNeeley but I think we would be slightly better with McNeeley (especially if we assume it is his second year). But it is close enough I wouldn't die on that hill. Mullins is a better shooter for sure.

Bottom line is Mullins is better than McNeeley. McNeeley missed a ton of shots last season.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

Just an absolute sore on the eyes. All those can defend us completely since we are 24-2, which is tremendous. But, this team is INCREDIBLY flawed.

We are definitely not as good as our record.
