Great win. Love owning MSG. The defense still needs work but it is definitely coming along.

It's fair to ask. What the hell is going on with Karaban? His confidence looks shot.

He was taking terrible shots. Idk if he's just trying too hard to be "the guy"

He was rushing and was way too far off the 3pt line

Don’t have the capacity to write my full write up right now, but just know I AM STOKED!!!

GO HUSKIES BABY!!!

Maui was an anamoly

No it wasn’t.
They earned those loses.
Nothing anomalous about it.

They have a ways to go, but they have gotten better since

 

[Boost'ED]

Singare getting these minutes against good teams (Baylor, Texas, and Gonzaga) will pay dividends this season and next season.

 

[Devland]

Samson was having a great game until he got hurt

 

[El Obrero]

Reed was a beastly presence in several stretches tonight. I seriously think he’s going to be unstoppable to most teams by tournament time.

Kenpom Defensive rating jumped to 73.

I think UConn's ranking and Kenpom ranking might be pretty similar come next poll at 12

Hoping Samson is okay. That was scary. Probably out for a few weeks.

Probably concussion protocol and out 2 games like Karaban.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Alex & Solo aren’t gonna shoot a combined 1-11 from 3 too often.

Everyone stepped up and contributed to a gritty win.

Really liked Singare’s effort and Ross played some fabulous defense. He’s starting to look more composed on offense.

JStew with some BIG momentum shots.

Kudos to Battle. Dude has line of the most awkward shots you’ll see but was on fire. Glad he missed his first FT of the year when he did!

Two games in a row where the defense actually looks better with Singare out there.

Had 2 offensive boards that we got nothing out of… maybe he should have shot it himself.

 

[millertime7774]

Don't think I've seen anyone mention it, but how about big game Stewart. 10 points, 2 important 3s.

Not enough minutes!

 

[Mister P]

Shout out to Youssif Singare today! He was HUGE when we needed him most. He is earning the floor.

Lets Go!

McNeeley is just en feugo

Yep. Another quality game by Singare.

But the third foul that took Reed out of the game 1:23 into the second half was a terrible call.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

It was Liam's night, but Big Ups to Singare and Stew.

The Mahaney project may be over before it started.

Still need to get better defending PG penetration, but the improvement since Maui is clear.

Good streak going into Beast Play.

Get well Samson

 

[kobebeanbryant]

Rotation solidifying.

Diarra at the point. Ball/McNeeley/Stewart/Karaban on the wing. Reed/Johnson rotation down low.

That’s a solid squad. Just need a backup pg.

I would spend the rest of the year working in Nowell. The Mahaney experiment needs to end.

Also Singare needs to get minutes against weaker opposition if he’s going to be used as emergency 5. Can’t only break him out for the important games.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

And Mahaney was complete garbage. I think I'm done with him. Bolt him to the bench.

I still think we need Mahaney to play a key role but his performance tonight was disappointing

Ross also played some solid minutes

 

[TedStriker]

Did we ever get an injury report on Samson Johnson? All I remember hearing was out for the game. He seemed to be hopping around quite well celebrating at the end. Hope it’s not too serious.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Stewart with 10 points on 4/5 plus 3 Boards.

 

[husky429]

Probably concussion protocol and out 2 games like Karaban.

i thought he was unconscious, which would be 3 weeks minimim IIRC. But he was on the bench so it must not have been that bad. Just dazed

Do we know what happened?

 

[JMick]

I was actually pretty impressed by how fast he found the open guy. Not his fault his teammates didn't hit on it

 

[MrJoe]

Great high level final four type game . Liam a star ; Singare helped a lot . Defense exponentially better

 

[blkknight1]

Two games in a row where the defense actually looks better with Singare out there.

He is actually in position because he is not trying to block everything. He lays a body on his guy so he keeps his man off the offensive board. He actually also grabs a board or enables someone else to do it.

The only minus is that on offensive end he doesn’t seem to be an option at all right now.

 

[belle]

I thought Singare might get a tech with the shoving he was doing. Great game for him though.

Singare is going to be our not so secret weapon!
