Well, yeah. And we do have a pretty fair rivalry with the Fryers.Huge PC game going on at the moment and there's a PC fan coming over to a UConn board and wondering what UConn fans are thinking.
So you're saying taking after Deepster is the way to go??
No way Sanogo is BE POY unless he starts playing better. He has been outplayed in 5 of our 7 conference games. Wahab, Dixon, Crosswell, Nunge, Ichodaro.
Lol I checked their board. When they get 30 more FTs at home (see Marquette in December) or 1/3 the fouls (see our game before the numerous 'evening out' calls when the game was already over) they think refs were solid and their guys more aggressive to draw fouls.
Yeah like last year twice against St. John's. I remember SJU was getting hosed at Gampel and UConn was fortunate to get that foul call on Sanogo so he could hit the tying FT to send it to OT and then win. Same goes for the missed travel call on Cole at MSG late in the game which was similar to Gillespie's travel which was called in Hartford. In any case, SJU just didn't go enough to win either game the same way UConn didn't do enough (missing wide open 3s) against Providence.
Our style of play certainly transfers better to March. Our shooting the past week has gone cold but I expect we’ll break out of this little slump and be fine when it matters most. We don’t need Newton and Hawkins going off every game, but we need at least one of them to show up every game. When we get less than 15-20 pts from them combined we’re in trouble. I also think our team is trying to figure out the intensity of our defense. Early in the season (out of conference) our defensive intensity was a 9 or 10. Once BE play started we were clearly sent a signal that we can’t play our style of defense in the “physical big east”. Against Marquette it seemed like we were trying a bit harder not to foul but then lost our defensive edge. Marquette also hit some circus shots which didn’t help. The season wouldn’t be any fun if we didn’t have both ups and downs. You need to take some losses to grow as a team. I expect PC to finish somewhere 5-8 in the final standings, they’re not that good.
OK, but remember getting into the lane and to the hoop is one thing, getting to line is another. They control the former, someone else controls the latter.
He's a really good coach, Providence was a trash heap when he took over.
Announcer says yesterday basically, “great transfer players should want to play for Cooley or McDermit over anyone else”. I almost spit out my Frosted Flakes. Unbelievable.
Mine was more of an observation than a recommendation.So you're saying taking after Deepster is the way to go??
They could lose 5 of 6 too, right?
And hopefully Dan Hurley has this film on speed dial for the boys
