This was a well coached game by Hurley and his staff.
— His subbing was exceptional in both halves.
— Bringing Clingan back in with 2 fouls in the first half was the move in order to giver Sanogo rest as he was gassed. Sanogo was brought back in and produced at the end of the half. In that span, Hurley used one of his timeouts with a couple of minutes left to get more rest for the guys.
—A well used TO in the second half after Creighton went on a 14-2 run. UConn then responded with a run of their own.
— Second half full court pressure and trapping took Creighton out of their rhythm and produced turnovers, including back to back by Nembhard with Diarra all over him.
— Going more minutes with the starters was needed in a game like this. The flow of BE basketball these last few games has not been suitable for Calcattera‘s play.
A great bounce back game by the coaches and players.

Stunning how the coaches stop sucking when the FT disparity goes away and your star player plays up to his standard. Must be a coincidence?

Agree with all of this, he coached a good game but waited too long to play Clingan second half. Loved that he played him with 2 fouls in the first half.

This was Luke Murray’s prep. I think that says more IMO.

lmao we still looked bad, was just masked by a terrible shooting performance from Creighton (many of which were wide open so I wouldn’t be so quick to credit our D).

Creighton did play like absolute dookie in the 2nd half. It was bizarre. All those offensive rebounds for nothing.
Can’t believe McDermott let Sanogo beat him too.

I didn’t like it in real time, but it ended up paying off for us.

The defense was stifling. Creighton rushed a lot of shots to avoid having Andre Jackson in their face

It for sure needs to be his next step as a coach. Needs to start winning more games on the road in conference when things aren't going their way. Wednesday in Milwaukee is important.

Definitely had a better game today. It helped that we shot way better from 3, Sanogo dominated (and was rarely doubled), and we only turned it over five times. When that formula plays out, we can beat anyone.
It’s about what happens when things don’t go according to plan that some of us still have concerns. I won’t be changing my mind until we get to at least the second weekend of the NCAAs

They shot terribly, but our pressure defense never let them get into a rhythm. It can happen to good teams & in the prior two games, it happened to us.
Room for improvement in all areas, but a good win against a top-50 level team.
He finally made in game adjustment today (the press) and lo and behold…..it worked!!

From my POV it seemed like he wasn’t aggressive with the officials today. I think that helps a lot.
that tends to happen. When they have to work hard to get open shots, and then they finally get some they rush it and feel more pressure because they know they might not get many open looks. Also, their starters play a lot of minutes which means their legs get tired and once that happens perimeter shooting goes wayside.
I am not gonna lie though, I was relieved when some of Scheirman's shots missed. I have seen him get hot and he can score in bunches.
