Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 5167016, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]Stunning play -- AK to SJ for the dunk on Uconn's first possession. [*]Reed in very quickly. [*]How the hell did Stewart blow that dunk? [*]Johnson back in on Tarris' foul. [*]G'town mixing hard drives and 3 point attempts. Luckily, they are not making their 3s. [*]A bit worried about the poor job we're doing in controlling the ball on contested rebounds or loose balls. [*]We put together a solid run to turn a 6 point hole at 12:13 into a 4 point lead at 9:08, and stretched it to 8 at 6:19. [*]This game on the verge of getting ugly and the refs are actually making it worse. [*]AK playing much better than the other night. [*]Half time -- 4 point lead. [*]Both teams shooting 42.9% from 3, but we've taken twice as many as G-town and made twice as many as well. [*]We're shooting almost 52% overall, to G-town's 44%. G-town 6 of 8 from the FT line, while we are 1 of 2. Stewart, Mahaney, Reed and Diarra with 2 fouls each. only 4 first half fouls total called on G-town. [*]Karaban with a three from half way between the 3 pt line and the half court line pushes our early 2nd half lead to 14. [*]We have shown a tendency at times to come out sluggish in the 2nd half. Not today. [*]Ihe officals doing their best to keep G-town in the game. [*]2 consecutive Diarra steals lead to dunks and the lead swells to 19. [*]Mahaney impressing me with his defense. Never thought I'd say that! [*]Getting very sloppy and physical at about the 7 or 8 minute mark. [*]Diarra trying to do too much himself while we're burning clock late. 3 late shot clock air balls in a row. [*]That foul on Karaban under a minute left was a hideous call. Meaningless, but hideous nonetheless. [*]Our center tandem had 11 points, 5 blocks, 10 boards, an assist, a steal and only 2 turnovers today. Dan Hurley swapped them so many times today that Donny missed a lot of the switches. [*]8 steals and 9 blocks. That's the kind of UConn defense we like to see. [*]Called for 21 fouls to G-town's 12. Our guys were getting hammered in the paint, especially during G-town's late push, but we rarely got a call. Worst example of homecourt reffing I've seen in a while. [*]Nowell played a lot of minutes today, and likely earned extended minutes going forward. [*]Alex recovers from his worst game of the season (maybe of his career) with a game that really defined his skill and versatility. In addition to his 19 points of 70% shooting (66+ on threes) he grabbed 6 boards, had 4 assists, a steal and a block. [*]For UConn, 14 dimes on 26 baskets is a low percentage. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
