Indiana Post Game Thread

  • Love the energy after being flat the last game.
  • If we hit a couple more 3's and don't get bully balled (missed travel, possibly 2 jump balls) it's a laugher.
  • Alex got a little humble pie and I think it's just going to motivate him more earlier in the season than last year.
  • Romouglou's J is sweet.
  • Glad to see Solo calm down in the 2nd half.
  • Cam and Tristen... so much experience.
  • When Castle gets healthy this extra PT off the bench will help a lot.
  • Great to see Donovan impact the game without scoring and keep the fouls down.

Clingan needs to keep the ball high when he rebounds or receives a pass. The coaches need to work on this point!

It's usually something college coaches don't teach anymore. Personally, I like to... but from a strength standpoint, he's dropping the ball because he doesn't have much of a standing jump and NEEDS to in order to dunk the ball. When you jump as high as you can, you swing your arms, right? Same idea.

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

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.

Newton coming back and picking up Spencer makes us a serious threat to repeat if we're healthy. If just one of those things doesn't happen we're looking at a totally different team with significantly lower expectations.

Ball and Diarra combined for 11/6/7.
That is what is needed while Castle is out.

Spencer is a joy to watch. He makes it look effortlessly and lets the game come to him and knows when to shoot. He is a perfect team player.

Ball really stepped it up and was making great cuts to the basket. He needs to not settle for that outside 3 too much. Otherwise he looks good.
 
Great to see Newton and Cam close out down the stretch. Announcer said it best. "They played with a sense of urgency like so many Uconn teams of seasons past. That's coaching." Hurley calls it being relentless. Bench getting good action with Castle out. So proud to see them shine in MSG. Big test with Texas. Things to work and improve on but this was a big win in the way they took care of business by not letting up down the stretch to the very end.

No one hurt us today. You have to think the freshmen only improve from here on. They got baptized today. Nice to see Ball improve his play in 2nd half.

We've had a lot of guards and back court mates. Assuming Castle gets healthy when have we had 3 that are as talented as Castle, Newton and Spencer?

Jut worried that both the 2 freshmen Stewart and Ross don't really look for their shot. Stewart can definitely create offense but seems hesitant. We need one of the these two to step for us even if we get Castle back.

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.
