One thing nobody saw coming was Joey C's flair for the spectacular, he has a knack for highlight reel plays. Andre has competition for the "best passer on the team" title.

I found myself shaking my head in disbelief that he missed 3 shots (two 3's and a layup) in first hallf. He has set the bar so high that I just assume they are going in. Who saw that coming when he transferred? I certainly didn't expect him to be this big of a contributor, he is an integral part of the offense and his defense is continuing to improve.

If you told me before the season that Joey would compete with Jackson for best passer on the team and compete with Hawkins for best shooter on the team, I would have called B.S... but here we are.

Wake up and smell the coffee with JOEY CAPPUCCINO.

Having Joey fresh at that critical point in the game to do his thing? Weapon.

Can we talk about the one-hand tip layup for a second? That was insane.

I thought this was the most spectacular play of the game. UConn had two entries in this morning's ESPN Top Ten Plays. Joey's layup wasn't one of them. Disappointing.

That was an all-time run in my book. Not in terms of stakes but overall degree of difficulty and charisma & cajones displayed. The one-handed layup made me laugh. The fade away 3 falling out of bounds. Pass to Cling, running floater. But my favorite was the fast break 3. 9/10 guys would gather themselves as he was pretty damn open. Joey shot it with as quick a release as he would if a defender was barreling towards him. Slowly fading as he momentum carried him away from the hoop.

The whole run made me wish people cared about SportsCenter still.

Just finished watching game. That run by him and Diarra was some of the most exciting UConn hoops at Gampel in a while. Great fun game all around

On Joey's big three that brought the House down.. Assisted by Diarra.. On one of the replays I focused on Diarra's body language vs watching the shot.. He was backpedaling to head down court before the ball even went through the hoop (or so it seemed) ..That's how much confidence these guys have in each other

Coming out of first night people were saying he had the most swag on the team. I was so wrong to doubt that.

Joey California Roll threw some Wasabi at the Hoyas.

Small point, the jumper in the corner was a 2 not a 3. His only 3 of the game was the transition bomb.

And my favorite part of the corner J was he somewhat lost his balance coming around the screen and had wits to take one dribble to get himself squared up and in a better shooting position and he was quick with that dribble.

I watched the SportsCenter coverage of the game and they completely glossed over this run. But I'm rewatching it now and fully agree that this was an all time run. So quick and so exciting. Also, Diarra made such a huge impact too.

I snagged a piece of this overpriced, (likely) shoddily made merch with a smile on my face last night. Got the crewneck with the waves. Anything for the human highlight reel!

I will say, I think the Boneyard needs to put together a marketing/merchandising dept to help these guys with design and NIL efforts.

I think this is what amazes me the most, we knew he had a reputation for 3's but had no clue he would be one of the best if not the best on team at attacking the basket.

 

[superjohn]

Joey was ridiculous last night. His shooting has obviously been awesome all season but his feel for the game and for the moment is pretty special. I had no idea what we were getting with him.

They need to make an authentic/replica jersey that says “California” on the back…that thing will sell.

Someone needs to make a gif out of that play

Someone needs to make a gif out of that play

The gif needs to include the defender holding onto JC’s left arm, which is the reason he willed the ball up to the hoop with only one hand with barely any control of the ball.

You can tell he is the proverbial gym rat. Nothing on the court seems like it's the first time he's been in that situation.
