ESPN is calling the game early.

 

[Durks07]

So, when will Hurley prove he can win a close game???

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Absolutely no answer for Clingan and Diarra continued to bring the energy every time UConn hit a lull. Great game.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

This was a 13 point game for practically the entire 2nd half

 

[goskis2018]

We’re so sick

 

[HailUConn]

Diarra is in beast mode second half!

 

[elmcityboy]

can this game finally silence the clingan doubters?

when he's fully healthy, this team will be truly terrifying.

 

[elmcityboy]

also -- hass was such a difference maker in the second half. does some freaky stuff on defense.

 

[kobebeanbryant]

this was actually kind of a boring game, but in a good way I guess

 

[metsfan2323]

Diarra was our second best player tonight.

Anyone still think Samson Johnson is better than Clingan? LOL

I don’t know that anyone has been doubting the second statement. I feel like pretty much everyone knows the issues were related to health/long layoff. He looked much quicker and his endurance looked much better today. Great sign.

Diarra has taken it up another notch this year. His defense is absolutely suffocating.

Cam is still one of the best shooters I’ve seen since the guy in my avi.

Clingan was dominant today. Is it me or did he look slimmer? Hope he’s okay too.

Castle is rusty offensively but his defense has been a surprise and what we needed this year.

I’m finding it hard to see how we could possibly slow down during BE play.

 

[Mookson]

Pretty sloppy second half. We’re lucky zags couldn’t buy a shot

 

[Mr. French]

This team is so legit.

Is it weird that Cam Spencer is borderline unguarded in this offense? Part credit to him (obviously - he’s a stud) and part credit to the roster of teammates and offense they run.

Hopefully Castle can fill that role tho. When Diarra and Ball were out there together we didn’t have much offense

 

[Mr. French]

Also, Diarra is a dog.

Am I bugging or was the Watson 3 that stood as their lone 3 for quite some time well within the 3pt arc? Was it reviewed during a timeout and does college do that like the NBA?

 

[uconnfan68]

Very physical game inside. Zags tried to beat us up.

 

[nomar]

Just coasted vs the #10 team in their backyard.

As someone said in the chat, we turned that arena into a morgue.

 

[B1GEast]

So impressed with Karaban. He's a ninja, stealth 11 points, but such a high basketball IQ, understand when and how to attack the hoop.

A lot of guys on this team knows their roles. Fun to watch. Great game

 

[superjohn]

Big East will be tough, it always is but there shouldn't be that weird bad stretch this season. We've set ourselves up for a 1 seed and to go for the overall 1 seed. This team has unfinished Big East business to play for and to take care of.

 

[Huskyforlife]

If Gonzaga has fans, they didn’t think it was worth the drive.

I was wondering the same thing. It looked like a clear 2 to me in real time

 

[Peacefrog]

good defensive adjustments at halftime. Watson didn't do much in the second half and Nembhard was snuffed out after hurting us in the first half

Shulman called it an eighteen-footer!

 

[UCann]

Great game, not too much to complain about. Would have maybe liked to see a little more from the freshmen - Ball had a quiet night and Steph we know can play a little better. Energy kind of dipped in the second half. But we beat a top 10 team on the road and it wasn’t ever close. We’re so good!

 

[nomar]

They beat us up on the boards and got to the line more, and we missed our last 9 threes — and it was never close.
