Game time today vs. Ukraine is 8:30 am EDT. Anyone know where we can follow the game stats?
 
Niels came off the bench and drained back to back 3s.
 
those midget pgs on Germany stink. Really like that benzing guy though
 
.-.
Another 3 for Giffey. 3-4 right now with 9 points. 7:00 left in 2nd quarter.
 
they're getting killed now but Niels having a good game
 
Giffey, Napier, Daniels, Calhoun,RB... Is there any other team in the country with a set of 5 knockdown shooters like that? Clearly a strength of ours. We should shoot a lot of threes
 
.-.
Giffey gives them a 1 pt lead with a 3 with 3:25 left.
 
Giffey had a great game. Knocked down a bunch of nice shots and played tremendous defense as usual. Had a nasty block in the second half playing some nice help defense down low. Shame for Germany's team that their point guard's decision making makes Russ Smith look like the basketball equivalent of a Rhodes scholar

Some interesting links for you really desperate junkies.

Check out the twitter hashtag #Giffey. Germans love him.

If you have Chrome, you can loosely translate this article, which talks about Giffey's value on the German National Team, His versatility, a small blurb on his run to the NC with UConn, and the buzz that is developing around him back in Germany.


Hard work for the NBA dream

While several EM driver by the expected reinforcements coming summer by NBA rookie Dennis Schroeder and Co. play in Slovenia for their future in the national team, Giffey should have this place safe. "I appreciate him his versatility," praised Menz. "He is the prototype of a shooting forwards who can also throw in half-distance, from dribbling with his back to the basket, which can triple throw." Moreover Giffey convinced with his defense, is also struggling offensively at any rebound. "Actually, he has the whole package, he just has to be physically stronger," said Menz. Even for a dip in the best league in the world would have to be the youngest starter lanky body still upholster something. "It is a narrow path," Giffey said to his NBA aspirations. "I have the prerequisites for it, but have to work extremely hard, that I have a little chance." He hoped, "to apply for me" after his upcoming college last year on a training at an NBA club. And that dreams can come true, Giffey experiencing in Slovenia. (AP)

Experience alone will get NG 15-17min. I do have concerns that Boat and Bazz may make it tough for him to get the ball in his sweet spots. The ball has to move via the pass rather than the dribble. It could be a difficult task to play zone against us.

Hopefully the exact translation really meant he will apply for a spot after his last year at college.
 
Boats propensity to shoot was a little outrageous last year , no way he comes back with that same mentality. he knows what's up, has to show off his passing ability. Well atleast I hope
 
This is great. NG has always been a favorite of mine. Hope he can start draining those threes with consistency.

Seemed like a lot of what was holding NG back early on was mostly mental. He should have the green light this year and hopefully he can put shots up without hesitation to get in a better rhythm, get confident and comfortable. The kid's stroke always looks good even when he misses.

He will be our super-sub. No team will have a better, more experienced, 6th man

I think he would have more confidence to shoot if KO shouts "schiessen die basketball" when Giffey has an open shot. Heck the student body should shout it out as well!
 
I am a little worried about him getting offered a big contract to play in Europe. Great news that his game has really come around- bad news is all of Europe saw it happen. I have to believe he will come back- but you never know. Hope he has a girlfriend on campus.

I'm sure he's got some apples waiting for him in Storrs.
