Your notion that we need to wring our hands over 20 point leads turning into 10 point leads, in a game of runs and high variability, played by 18-22 year olds, while invoking a team beating others by 40, while suggesting our “standard” is high; whatever exactly you meant by that. Do you have difficulty keeping up with your own posts like another person I dealt with in last post-game thread?
I know Hurley is saying it's mental, and it most likely is, but I am left wondering how the extra bulk may have affected his shot. Watching him live at MSG it's clear that the new guns and boulder shoulders are giving him confidence and power to finish near/at the rim--last year he missed so many layups it was comical.
The funny thing about @RuffRuff is that, even with him on ignore, the flow of the threads aren't impacted by missing his takes and opinions. I believe that more people should try it.
Game 1 high scorer: Karaban, 19
Spot on. In fact, maybe this should be the rule.
I was at the game and said to my wife "I'll bet Eric isn't use to constantly shooting over 7' 1" guys" By the end of the game I was saying "It looked like those 7' 1" guys aren't used to shooting over a guy like Eric."
And perhaps our best scorer has 2 points so far for the season
Nine (9) UConn players had at least 10 minutes of play during this game. Nice depth!
Can’t answer your question but I hope your handle needs an update after this season!!
He seems to be taking solid looks to me - usually in the flow of the offense. Here and there rushed, but I would qualify most as good looks. They just aren't going down. Form is there.
Tarris's injuries tend to set him back when he's been out for some time. As you can see against Illinois, he was not moving like he normally does and seemed a bit out of place. However we were not really looking for him from the start of the game. He needs to be engaged at the beginning of the game or else he seems to get a bit down on himself. Tarris is a monster when he is engaged and we need him healthy for us to contend for a ship.
Well said - his knock has been consistency as he tends to lose focus or play disengaged if he’s not feeling it. It’s why many of us lobbied to start him last year. Glad someone doesn’t have their head in the sand.
Crowd was great today. Must have been some moment for Mullins having Garden erupt when he entered game. Also great job with highlight reels of Ray and Emeka before showing them in the stands. All around everything you hope for with UConn at Storrs South.
Who’s wringing their hands? You’re much more stressed about this then I am lmfao.
Oh my god! The goalposts — they moved!!
He got two fouls pretty early.
No he didn't, he had 1 foul for the entire game and it came in the second half.
hurley was pretty clear that he was not 100% and pretty much the only reason he played was to give reibe a break.
My point was and remains, he’s a kid that is impacted quite easily. I’m dropping this. Good to see someone can read without getting defensive.
His assists per 40mpg is 8.
Little bit - I think if anything, he's going too far out of his way to draw contact/fouls, which is taking his focus off the make.
Sees like a minority view.
It looks like he watched too many SGA clips this summer trying to draw contact
