Gonzaga Post Game Thread

Did we ever get an injury report on SJ? 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.

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

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.

McNeeley was unbelievable and played so steady all game long. Karaban was missing in action. Loved Ross's d and he even made a couple big passes. He is getting better. Stewie played great again in MGS and needs to see the floor more especially when Karaban is struggling. He is one of the few uconn players who can create his own offense. Diarra was steady but please don't shoot outside shots anymore. Mahaney looked better off the ball but he just can't play PG as he is too slow and not strong enough. Be doesn't handle pressure on the ball well. I hope johnson isn't out too long. 2 games like Karaban might be it.

All our centers player well including Singare. I'm glad he is getting valuable minutes this year. He played great D.
 
McNeeley is extremely underrated. Similar to Castle. He is a complete wing. Defends hard. Cool like castle too , but also has that Hurley maniac in him. What im saying is , did we get the best Monteverde player from last year ?

Beside the obvious Liam, Singare was very good on D and setting screens and some important rebounds. Hats of to him, looks like he will be getting some minutes now. Ross played better for those that think he does not belong. Good game for him. Stewie, what can you say he stepped up big time tonight. He's still has more in him. Oh, Mahaney did not look to happy on the bench in the 2nd half. We are playing better each game. Reed is a monster and getting better. Big East, next.

I thought the original report on Nowell was 2-3 weeks. I was surprised to hear he was a game time decision. Unless they are going to keep game time decisioning him until 2-3 weeks pass.

What exactly is wrong with Karaban? He missed all of his 3’s. Didn’t box out on several occasions. Threw the ball away a few times and seemed reluctant to shoot for most of the game.

He had a somewhat similar game last year against Marquette at the Civic Center. It turned out to be irrelevant for him, the game, and the season.

Hopefully back soon. Mahaney just kept getting cooked on D and that braindead 10 seconds. I don't think it's happening with him.

The more I see Mahaney play, he doesn't seem to be able to handle playing at this level.

That backcourt call was horrendous....I think Hurley can deal with physical lapses but mental errors are worrisome.

Aiden might be our Nick Timberlake.

Weirdly, on the offensive side, I saw him all alone in the corner, particularly against zone, and he was just ignored 2x. They were running a play but he was by himself.

He has improved defense, now he has to be better as a creator and getting rim pressure. He is too athletic too just be most effective off ball and catch and shoot

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!

Also, kudos to the announcer for putting the pre shot kibosh on him by saying he’s the best FT shooter in the country….klank

I’m in favor of Ball’s minutes getting scaled back a bit for Stewart to get more minutes. Some might say Stewart might get mismatched against smaller players, but would he be more of a defensive liability than Ball? I’d like see a Diarra/Stewart/Liam/Alex/Samson or Reed combo on the floor at times and see how that looks.
