I love you Tyler

He played great. Without his tough rebounds, his 3 ptr., they lose.

Team effort tonight--including the sloppiness in the last 1/4 of the game.

100%. Those 2 huge offensive rebounds and clutch there were the difference in the game. With brawn down low clearly looking to be an issue, Tyler may have just earned himself a lot more playing time tonight.

I think the refs did a good job even with all the craziness.

I wasn't a fan of Shabazz's 5th but I thought otherwise they did a good job.

Better job than BE refs, that's for sure.

I hate these new officiating changes.

I very much like calling the hand checking and bumping the cutter fouls, but they went overboard in rewarding larger, physical players who drive and create contact. This was always very misguided in my opinion, but clearly tonight it appears that it is large part if the new emphasis as well, which, quite frankly, sucks as it will give an unfair advantage to UConn's opponents (and more importantly, is the wrong way to call the game)

AB needs playing time so he can develop and overall, PN is more effective than TO, but TO clearly still has an important role for this team. He only came in when both AB and PN had three fouls, a few minutes earlier for TO may help to save the fouls for AB and PN.
I also have no problem with TO taking the open 10-20 foot shot (don't want to see him attempting to create on the block though).

For PN to be more effective, his teammates need to stop ignoring him on offense. He's fairly good at sealing his defender and establishing position down low, but for whatever reason nobody will pass to him.
