Hope Tristen Newton gets back on track

[Huskybass]

16, 11 and 6 tonight. Stud.

 

[REB1094]

He got back on track

 

[Chin Diesel]

16 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, one steal, a block and a couple of turnovers.

And yet, he wasn't impressive for long stretches.

 

[Palatine]

He's getting there. For anyone else it's a good game but he has much better inside him.

 

[navery12]

He keeps playing like he has recently he will be an afterthought

No he won't, try again

Very good today, but it’s clear he relies on his size too much at times on the defensive end.

 

[Rocktheworld]

And that back door cover lol

 

[Dibbie]

That kind of game with nothing coming from the 5 is impressive. Once/if DC comes back, things will open up more in the perimeter

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Teams are getting better at reading his drives, he’s had trouble getting to the rim recently. But, he’s doing a lot else well. Needs to get his shot right though.

But was 5-16 from the floor. He was so up and down all game.

I don't know if I'd say "back on track". He got his #s and did a lot right... but at the end of the day he shot 31% from the field and acted like a bonehead in crunch time.

Shooting was better. Brilliant passer. Held his own on defense.

[alphasigko]

No he won't, try again

Whatever...

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Whatever...

Keep rooting for it.

This...

Hurley probably called up and said he needed someone to treat some sick Huskies. It's easy to see how they got confused.

But was 5-16 from the floor. He was so up and down all game.

Yeah I don’t know if I would say very good. Still a ways to go and still seems off physically to me.

I think the flu should be treated by a real doctor though.

But for a Husky, maybe a vet is the right call. As I said in another thread, missing Clingan changes how we play at both ends and allows defenses to play more aggressive man. You might not double team Clingan but you need to help. That opens opportunities for other guys that aren’t there now.

 

[bluestreak]

He had a slump last January. Maybe it's in his biorhythm. I think that when March comes around and we're at full strength, he'll be back in the heroes column.
I'm scratching my head over his poor FT's though. He has to focus more with the clock off.

 

[huskyjawz]

His 2 threes in a row turned the game around.

 

[AllHusky]

Maybe he has that darkness disease that us old folks get in the winter. We are gaining 2 minutes of stronger sunlight per day. Thats over 2 hours more on March 1st from Dec 21. Perfect.

I don't think I've ever seen a basketball player get beaten senseless like he does and not get calls. Holy mackerel Andy.

 

[Umami Zen]

Tristen can clean some things up but it sure looked like he was getting hammered all night long by X. There were multiple times where he had eye contact with refs after a non-call . Refs weren't buying it.

 

[Poe]

Only player in the country averaging at least 15 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

 

[my2cents]

This the Big East, which could the most physical conference in the country. Throw shooting % out the window because of all the bumping and grabbing. Tristen totally withstood all the fouling and played great.

 

[Greathusky]

Didn't we have this same conversation last year around January?
