Obviously I trust Hurley’s judgement but to me that seems a little unfair to only let sid play if AG isn’t available. These two situations shouldn’t be related.

I agree with you. I just feel if Gilbert is out with only one walk on then I don’t think Hurley has much of a choice. That being said I don’t know what the suspensions for. Either way this ain’t great.

A coach has to do what is best for the team. Disciplining is often most important, but sometimes just having bodies so you can compete in games is what is best.

Agreed.

There's definitely something behind this "injury"

 

[NJHoops]

Sid playing or not will depend on Sid, just like it has all season.

If it's his back yep it's behind him!

I mean we can't bring a guy back who isn't committed to the team just because someone else isn't playing can we? That's nuts. Not saying I know anything but doubt we see him.

Hearing Clingan will be in attendance tmrow.

Maybe Hurley being coy about managing the APR situation again, like he was when the broom was out before it went back into the closet.

He's having back spasms, it's no more nefarious than that.

I don't remember the game other than it was good. But a quick look at the box score:
Vital was 3-12
Gilbert was 3-11
We had 15 turnovers
They had 19 turnovers
We had 8 steals
They had 6 steals
Both teams shot 36+% from the field
We had 26 boards
They had 33 boards
We were 15-23 on free throws
The were 25-34 on free throws!

UConn is much more efficient on offense the last several games.
Defense efficiency isn't quite as good.
Turn them over, don't foul, keep them off the glass and don't shoot 36%.
Easy right?

Yep and the mafia killed Kennedy

Yep we could have won it at the FT line. We also had 3 guys foul out so that Temi had to be an option

Wasn’t Oswald!

 

[Edward Sargent]

Wasn’t Oswald!

Oswald wasn't a sniper

 

[UConnDad]

Oswald wasn't a sniper

Actually he held the designation of sharpshooter in the marines. That is in the records but may not reflect his actual proficiency. But he didn’t fire the fatal shot.

[alphasigko]

That isn't true.

We will never know now, will we!? They played a GREAT game this evening and IMO should be headed to the NIT (unless they win it all in Ft. Worth!)

Just got recommended this video on Youtube.

The title is indeed Houston Rockets vs. UConn Huskies.

He picks Wichita State to win. Not kidding. Superb video.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Wow, just wow. I said stay out of foul trouble, contain Mills and rebound and we win. We reversed the first game and made more FTs than they took, fouled two of them out and played defense in the second half like I haven't seen in a long time. Mills (and Grimes) got theirs but Mills especially did little in the second half. We did enough rebounding to win, especially Bouk BA and Whaley. The icing on the cake was 50% shooting. That kind of offensive efficiency makes up for a lot! I couldn't wait to get up and look over the box score with my first cup of coffee, now with my second I will watch the Highlights!

hmmm Houston Rockets vs UConn Huskies ... It will be tough for us to stop Harden and Westbrook. It will be tough for Whaley to guard Covington and I think their bench is deeper. I'd say about Houston ROCKETS -55. But I'll still be rooting for our Huskies!
