Looks like he's 11 years old in that image. LOL

Every time I see posts like this about Demary all I can think about are the people complaining about Newton ("We don't have a point guard") in January 2023. Demary will have some good games (he looked pretty good against BYU) and some bad ones (tonight) but I really am confident he's going to settle in nicely by January or early February.

The Kansas defense was outstanding. Both of our PGs experienced some level of difficulty running the offense last night. Kudos to Self & Kansas. Other teams will watch the game film, but our staff will adjust. I expect that both Silas & Malachi are still learning the system at game sped and at some point there will be less thinking, things will slow down and muscle memory kicks in.

Stew is playing as well as he can but he is mistake prone / turns ball over / esp 2nd half of game and when his shots are not falling we have better options outthere.

It was smart to sit him 2nd half. Got to go with best players on the floor. I like Ross over Stew starting.

Given he looked perfectly healthy and proved to be essential in crunch minutes, I feel like we may as well start Mullins moving forward. He would’ve been the starter by fan consensus at the beginning of the season if not for the injury, so if not now, when?

That being said, I love both Stew and Ross and think they’ll both continue to be essential to team success throughout the year.

Yeah anyone comparing Reibe to Clingan needs to go watch the Illinois NCAA game again. Clingan singlehandedly shut down an entire teams offense

Yes but that was March soph year, not Dec fr year

 

[Edward Sargent]

Loved the combo of Smith, Mullins, Ross Karaban and Reibe. They brought us back with 3 and D

A poster on the KU board joked that his mom was handing out orange slices at halftime, which I’ll admit was an objectively funny joke.

😂

To me, that’s a hallmark of an AI-generated article. Blatantly incorrect “factoid” that would be extremely simple to verify.

 

[Edward Sargent]

First victory period against them.

Can't be more impressed with Reibe. Two A+ games in a row from that kid, in a tough place to play. I'm through the moon with how good he's looked.

And yes on Mullins - he's what this team has been missing.

Yep he even outplayed the highly athletic kid from Kansas

Where’s the pic of the final score?

I think the keyword is "claim". Kansas has the 4 NCAA and 2 Helms.

 

[uconngb]

He needs to be out at 30 to get the space he needs to get his awkward shot off but he can literally make it from outer space

Do you know what the word "literally". means?

He used the word “literally” in a figurative way. It’s a perfectly acceptable use of the word in modern English. Hope that helps.

Ohhh I didn’t even realize Kansas had those. I figured it was AI getting its wires crossed between Kansas and UNC bball history. Your interpretation makes way more sense.

A use that became acceptable by way of mass misunderstanding of the literal definition of literally, btw. But I concur.

Bidunga 11-12-2
Reibe 12-8-2

🙂

This is what I hoped for from Mullins. Reibe is contributing far beyond what I ever envisioned for this year. I am thrilled with his play and with Reed out it has been rock solid and clutch.

Posting this next point without completely reading the thread, but I haven't seen the mention that I think we went into half time down 5 and returned to the court down 4, correct? I assume Solo's 2 pointer was deemed a 3 at halftime but I didn't hear any mention of the change or did I just miss it, or am I wrong about being up 5? Would we have had to appeal for that review, or did the refs give some kind of an indication of review?

Yeah to announcers talked about it briefly and it was changed from a two to a 3.

Welcome to the party Braylon Mullins! He looked much better than I thought. He looked gooooood

What a great defensive performance in the second half. Absolutely clamped Kansas up. They started the game off with a bunch of threes and I’m pretty sure they only hit one in the second half

Reibe is CONFIDENT now. He’s much more decisive with the ball and had another fantastic game to show for it

Karaban was having a miserable game…until he wasn’t. Great play down the stretch to seal it

Best game of the year for Solo considering the context. Great shooting!

UConn was on the ropes two or three times that game, getting close to double digit deficits on the road against Kansas. They punched back every time and got away with a gutsy win

This team is real. Let’s go Huskies!

 

[uconn_jack]

I still remember that game. We got absolutely boat raced out of the arena.

That '95 game is the reason the Kansas demon has never been exorcised for me, until now.

The way Mullins moves without the ball is Art. I don’t know if I’ve seen a kid like him that way. His feet are so graceful it looks like he’s gliding.

Phog pregame hype videos and arena signage boast 6 nattys, Its quite pathetic

He moves really well. Someone posted earlier that you can just tell a player is special based on how they move. And I agree Braylon was moving differently

Much better defensively than I thought too. Really quick on his feet and finds good position. He’s skinny but didn’t get bullied or overpowered

Trying not to overreact on 1 game but a true freshman coming into Phog Allen and doing THAT…I’m getting hype

 

[geohusky]

LOL he looks like he's in the Stone Roses or Blur. He's a mod Brit-pop star from 30 years ago.

Love the Stone Roses

I'm still processing that one. I was 16 and soooo excited to see our undefeated, #2-ranked team go to KC and beat them, and we got absolutely slaughtered. This was when there were still questions if JC could win the big game, and then we went out and were down 20 by halftime and scrambled to get it under 30.

Someone mentioned young Ray, and it was that sorta vibe. Mullins could get anywhere he wanted, and his release is so quick that he can get a shot off easily. In 20ish minutes, he showed he is by far our most talented offensive player and should be getting 28-32 minutes as soon as he is fully acclimated. And to cap it off, he played solid D, and in a big spot took his first college free throws and was $$. He could be a really special player.

It doesn’t

People should understand the words they use. Literally is almost literally the most misused word in the English language these days. It’s not acceptable when it’s factually incorrect. Ever.

I’m so glad as a UConn fan that I don’t have to contextualize any championship claims. Even out of the 4 NCAAs for Kansas, one is very much unlike the other three.
