  1. Whoever on the ESPN production crew that’s deciding we need all of these unique camera angles… stop it.
  2. ISU punched back several times and UConn avoided a big run and was able to turn the momentum back each time. That has been a consistent theme this year.
  3. It was not especially pretty. It was the rock fight we expected. Sanogo struggled. Hawkins was in foul trouble. And this team still won by 18. Great teams need to be able to win games like this. The complete domination of the glass helped.
  4. ISU coach is aggressive. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone go into halftime with three players with three fouls and another two with two fouls.
  5. Clingan is huge and pretty polished. They just had no answer.
  6. They exposed Joey C on defense more than he has even the last couple games. He really needs a rim protector behind him. Still an incredibly impressive offensive player.
  7. AJax facilitated incredibly well and was much more aggressive at taking it to the basket. Do more of that!
  8. Alleyne… not good today. He’s totally out of sorts right now. Gotta imagine he figures it out but I hope it happens sooner rather than later.
  9. Karaban continues to execute in every facet of the game. I can’t remember a UConn freshman as polished as he is.
  10. Welcome back to the top ten.

An absolute rock fight.

Our players are fighters out there, that's all Hurley. We ou toughed them and had too many answers. They were completely whipped at the end and the lead just pushed up.

AJ and Clingan were the stars of the show, but I also want to mention Newton. After not playing much in the first half due to foul trouble, he made some very clutch shots at important times in the second half. Another great win!

Don't forget Diarra who gave us great minutes in the first half and then for some unknown reason didn't play a minute in the second half.

The backup center to our potentiall All-American just won MVP in an early season tournament with 4 top 25 teams... And there's a chance he's not even our best freshman off the bench. Wow

He is our best Freshman off the bench. I love Karaban but Clingan is just a special player for someone that tall, strong and nimble.
 
We can win with a lot of different players and a lot of different ways. Truly team basketball. Hated some of the turnovers tonight but really everyone played pretty hard and contributed. Iowa St is going to give a lot of teams fits but they couldn't do it to us. We can play amazing D for 40 minutes and AJAX is really like a Pro defender athlete v. college players. It's crazy.

We are back. And going to work tomorrow is going to feel pretty great with minimal sleep.
