Was surprised they didn’t review Wares shove on Newton that could’ve injured our 2 most important players. Seemed blatantly dirty.

That’s what I saw. Don’t know how the hell the refs missed that.

Lots and lots of IU fans there, was impressive. We had the majority of the 200s and 100s behind one of the baskets. Husky supporters were loud but I think there were more IU fans there than Husky fans.
Expand ...

We seem to have a normal, very nice turnout for the early season OOC MSG games but nothing like the chaos of the BET when seemingly every Husky fan is on Metro North together.

This was Solos best game by far, which is a great sign. The fact he shows no fear in taking shots, cutting aggressively, and handling In pressure is proof that there’s something there. Hopefully by seasons end he settles in, and some of those open shots start falling.

He had a couple of 3s rim out

I wanted to start a thread just on him. OMG he was so annoying. Nobody cares about your games at MSG 20 years ago! Think I'll start one just to see if there were others who were as annoyed as I was.
Expand ...
I can speak for everyone here. We were all annoyed with that clown.

Sorry to say it but Ball is going to continue to eat up Diarra’s minutes. He didn’t play well today, was out of control and took a couple wild shots. His defense also wasn’t as good as it was last year.
Expand ...
Agree that Ball will be getting the majority of the minutes, and he should.

But, the 2 of them will be the ones to offset what is lost with Castle out. Diarra had 5 boards and 6 assists along with a key defensive play allowing Newton to get a 3 point play and getting the 4th foul on Reneau.

UConn's win over Indiana in MSG return is first statement of Huskies’ potential

Lol, where is Tristen Newton? :oops:

Sloppy first half but still had a 7 point lead and 37 points total. Good sign

IU was super aggressive and it bothered Clingan. It did not bother Newton. Always in control and in attack mode. Cam did really well beating the aggression too

Karaban will need to tap into whatever he did last year to get better against super physical 4s. Got shredded on defense but did well on offense

I remember 5 really good cuts (Diarra, Karaban, Ball 2x, Clingan) that led to great looks. Clingan and Karaban are good passers and guys who cut will be rewarded.

This experience is invaluable for Solo Ball. Still looks jittery, still is reckless around the rim, but will get better every game. Those hard cuts can be his bread and butter

IU fans showed up. From my view in MSG it really looked like 50/50 fan turnout at best. Mid level was very red, upper levels pretty blue. The couple next to me said they traveled from Indianapolis for the game. They weren’t too happy by the end though. The game felt uncomfortable at times but never at risk. Go Huskies!

I’ll also take my victory lap for saying we didn’t need Castle to beat Indiana :).

We’re gonna be a wagon by march

Conestoga? Station? Paddy? Train? Wheel?
 
The best part of the game was when Jay Williams said he liked UConn a lot but they took Tony Robertson over him!

When Clingan went down from tripping over Newton I held my breath. Surely didn't want to see him tweak an ankle or foot

Or Tristen losing teeth.

Newton may be the most underrated and under-appreciated player in the country. Consistently makes the smart or clutch plays.

Seeing him in a different light after that game; it’s like when you wake up one morning and all of a sudden see that girl you’ve just been friendly with as someone you might like as more than a friend for the first time.

Not that I didn’t like and appreciate him before of course, but now I’m seeing just how good and how important to this team he is. We’re beyond lucky he came back.
Expand ...
Echo. Do you know how lucky we are to have him? He just does it all in a non flashy way.

Between jay williams & donny marshall this season my mute button has been stuck in the on position. Tarik turner was good last game, but jay williams was unlistenable, repeatedly ragging on some guys motor, clingan in limo etc
Expand ...
I liked Turner as well. He did his homework which was interesting and to the point. That reminded me of Kara Walters who also is well prepared. More facts, less "comedy".

I have a hard time believing that. But then again Williams was talking so much crap that I didn't know what and what not to believe.
Expand ...
Williams has said this a number of times on the morning ESPN talk shows. He always calls him Roberson too.

This is being talked about here.. I'm not sure I buy it. If Calhoun chose TRob over Jay Williams it means jay's second choice was Dook?

All are good shouts and obviously ways to go but this one could go on the wall with any of those which is great company.
