Very very important?Christ is MUCH MORE than "very important."

They actually were shooting well from 3 between Dickinson, Harris and McCullar. Furphy is a good shooter too. But with Jackson and Adams, you have two non shooters in the starting lineup.The report that Kansas can't shoot was way off the mark
Exactly, and bilas commented on that poor no call as well as karabans phantom foul 5Adams going up for the alley oop and Karaban getting called for the foul for touching the ball, Kansas scores 2. Our next trip down the floor Karaban gets mauled under the basket no call Kansas goes down and scores. Completely changed the momentum
Agreed. If last year taught us anything, it’s that you can take some L’s and still figure it out in the long run. No one game is a must win. However, you do have to win a bunch of them.They don't make "must wins" in December. There is not and has never been such a thing. so let's not start with this.
Man, so if we lose a December non-conference game the season is already over? What do I do with my tickets for the other games? Do I get a refund?UNC is a must win. Quasi home game. Should be ready to go
That was the kind of game where an Ajax and Adama makes a difference. Adama would have destroyed Disckensin and worn him down to nothing. Ajax was just a huge X factor and special on the floor.
More than 30 NBA scouts credentialed for UConn-Kansas | Zagsblog
By ADAM ZAGORIA As of Wednesday, ome […]www.zagsblog.com
There were 34 NBA scouts credentialed for this game, undeniably looking at two 7' 2" guys. They all just witnessed a clinic by the best point guard in the country, Tristen Newton. There's your pick.

Yes, pretty sure Dan Hurley specifically said it after the championship at some point. And Geno says it all the timeI don’t get this argument, how does losing a big game on the road pay off over time? Did losing at creighton or at Marquette prepare us for the tournament last year? We won cuz we got on a roll and got out of the BE BS
no kidding, of course there is a difference...but you take it to Dickinson, and force him to defend at times rather than limit Clingan to screen setting at 3pt circle alone...you think him getting 8 shots is good when we are struggling from perimeter other than newton???...what an arsehat responseOf course, last game there was a literal 6’7” mid-major guy guarding Clingan. An all-American candidate 7’ guy last night. Maybe there’s a difference there?
I actually think this may have been what he needed to move further in the right direction. He’ll get there. I think he’s on the normal UConn stud path. Lottery pick junior year.Clingan simply doesn’t seem ready for the lime light and all that comes with it.
It sucks to all the DC truthers out there, but he was fully out of his element. He needs a ton of work.
That didn’t stop him all game….,the REALITY is that Tristen made shots all game and Cam didn’t. So you want the guy shooting that DIDNT make them?
Smart

I guess other than the spin move, lefty mikan move that bilas complemented him about his footwork lol...Clingan can't post up effectively against a 7'2 beast of a man. He's not that good yet. His feet aren't coordinated enough unless he has exactly the right spacing, and he has meatloaf hands. You screen and roll hard and get Clingan the ball moving towards the hoop or give him an off-ball screen to get him to his strong hand.
I guess other than the spin move, lefty mikan move that bilas complemented him about his footwork lol...need to give him more of a chance on low block, full stop...the lack of inside out game has us doing dribble handoff weave 25 feet from hoop against excellent D....dickinson has chance to get in foul trouble by taking it at him...i do agree his hands seem to be meatloaf like though
Such a fun game. Hope everyone enjoyed the atmosphere. It truly is the best in the country and it’s not particularly close.
The only thing that really matters as a take away from this game is that I hope Cam is okay. That foot injury is scary given his history.
Other than that, I would love for Dan to beat a ranked team on the road, but lucky for us the tournament in March is on all neutral floors.
Can we talk about Sue Bird? Didn't bother to wear anything related to UConn and hamming it up with Lasso.
She's dead to me
