That was a sufficiently boring snooze fest.
My only takeaways
1. Hurley wanted to shut down their only scorer and the players did just that.
2. Nice to see 3 TO's combined between AG and CV.
3. If ESPN box score is correct, 7 assists for Gaffney. Nice. But I must have missed all of them.
Was there any crowd there?
Yes, The crowd was great today. You can tell people care about UConn basketball again when 10,000 + show up for a game like this. Its starting to be like the old days again.10507 according to the box score. I was there and it felt like a good crowd.

Actually UConn played terrific D shutting down their best player and we held that team to 45 points.That was a sufficiently boring snooze fest.

That was my main problem today, the last game of the decade. They're about 367 days too early.On to the next decade and conference play at 1.6666 arena. Cincy is beatable.
It depends. When people talk about "the 20's," they'll be starting with 2020 as the first year of the 20's. Like 1970 was the first year of the 70's.That was my main problem today, the last game of the decade. They're about 367 days too early.

So insightful.NJIT ain't no Cinci, Houston, Memphis or WSU - not even SFU
Seems every time Carlton has to make that 1 dribble. Gives defense time to collapse on him. No dribble, just go up strong and flush it.Actually UConn played terrific D shutting down their best player and we held that team to 45 points.
Welch says D is the one thing you can take on the road. I agree that’s our ticket for success.
If Hurley didn’t get a bad T at the end of the half they wouldn’t have hit 20 in the first.
We are a pain in the butt team to play and that‘s a good thing.
Vitale, Akok , and Adams, all played well. Akok is a beast.
Gilbert,and Gaffney made their guards life missable although neither had a great offensive day. If Gaff had 7 assists they were very quiet ones,
Polley did not shoot well ( him and others came up short on shots a number of times ) but it was the most aggressive I’ve seen him play. 5 rebounds and two blocks .
Carlton was active setting screens and rebounding but needs to finish stronger at the hoop and for sure don’t put the ball on the floor.
Bouknight was out of sorts a bit. His shot wasn’t falling and seemed to be pressing too much.
His defense is not yet up to the other subs , Whaley Adams, Gaffney or even little utilized Wilson Who seem to be getting it.
Whaley played hard D but wasn’t much of a factor offensively.
Wilson got a few minutes and the walk on‘s came on with 3 minutes left in the game.
I said before hand these last three games were important
Can Hurley find a competent backup PG
yes Gaffney has emerged
Can the younger guys be integrated into the pressure D
yes all but Bouknight have stepped up. I
Lets go in and best Cinncy.
He can't.Seems every time Carlton has to make that 1 dribble. Gives defense time to collapse on him. No dribble, just go up strong and flush it.
Very good crowd, but kind of quiet because it wasn’t a really exciting game. We did what we needed to do. Akok blocked 5 shots but also was responsible for several njit players crapping their pants when they even got near him.
every decade is a decade except for the first one which was 9 years.Regardless, a decade is a decade.
