Said he had a minor foot problem and that he hurt the good one tonight. So now 2 bad wheels.Any word on Spencer’s foot?
Hurley is an animalLoved the Bryant coach reference.
The best was Hurley calling out Bryant.
Did they win today?What'd he say?
Did they win today?
So is Newton...Hurley is an animal
Yeah im not bothered much by the loss im really bothered by guys not showing up in a big game. Clingan and Karaban cannot be no shows if this team wants to have any shot at a repeat. Clingan better show out against UNC because hes facing another really good big. He could be hurting his draft stock if he doesnt show up against them. That being said Clingan did assert himself defensively in the sense that Dickenson didnt even attempt to take him down on the block. Karaban simply cannot guard.He is going to be miserable for three days. He knows how close where to winning this game and all we needed was a few things to break our way. Although I don’t think this loss is tearing up knowledgeable fans, Hurley’s going to be bothered. Because he knows how hard it is to go into that atmosphere play your C+ game and have your best shooter pretty much with a clean look to win it and come out with a loss. To me this is as good a loss as a team can have. Not sure Hurley looks at it the same way. Which makes him a great coach. We did come out a little flat but like Hurley indicated it may have been more shell shocked than flat.
I had to explain him to KU fans. It’s hard to describe. Most guards avoid contact, remember Jalen Adams? He was like a ballerina avoiding it. Newton can’t wait until you hit him. He seeks it out even where it’s not normal. So he surprises people and also draws a staggering number of fouls. Newton is like Rocky Balboa, he blocks your punch with his face so he is free to hit you.So is Newton...
The Bryant coach, what a loser. I guess the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree- he was after all the assistant to that sleazy grease ball Jared Grasso.Loved the Bryant coach reference.
They should NEVER get a buy game with us after those comments. That said, I hope we get them in a tournamentLoved the Bryant coach reference.
Yep. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.They should NEVER get a buy game with us after those comments. That said, I hope we get them in a tournament
I think the bigger problem was UConn really missed Castle in a game like this. UConn needed another scoring threat especially when Kansas decided to press UConn in the first half and disrupted the flow of the offense. I think Ball will be good over time, but he struggled in this game and he can't replace Castle. UConn could not easily get the ball to Clingan in the low post and Karaban struggled to get open in the first half.Yeah im not bothered much by the loss im really bothered by guys not showing up in a big game.

I think a lot of this had to do with the gameplan. They were switching, and we stuck too closely to the script (similar to what happened in January last season). Later in the game the guys got a little more comfortable playing against a switching defense, and took advantage more often.Yeah im not bothered much by the loss im really bothered by guys not showing up in a big game.
