mmmm....First half of the season so some rust is expected. I liked the tempo, not walking the ball down the court after a make but really pushing it but 8 turnovers shows there are some kinks to work out. Gilbert was trying to do a little too much a few times when he could have just laid it in. Good intensity on D but Morehead had too many second chance points and open shots too (as Hurley said, rebounding was an issue). I liked the interior D and the blocks. Probably more assists in this half than some games last year, which is good...But again, I want to see Uconn come out in the second half and punch the Eagles in the mouth. Looked like they were going to pull away for a while, getting the lead as high as 13....but down to 4 by the end of the half, kind of disappointed in that.
Room for improvement but confident it will occur. Lets see how the boys react after Hurley talks to them for 15 minutes at the half, see how they come out. Hopeful Uconn can extend this back to 12 to 15 by the second TV timeout.
