Kentan Facey

[willie99]

does not deserve to go out like this

the biggest improvement we've had in a long time

thank you Kelis Fisher, wish you had more help

 

[boog204]

it's criminal that he is working so hard out there just to watch our hideous guards ignore him and fire up contested 3's. Said this in another thread, but this is a Gavin Edwards situation in '10 where they just deserved better than the snow their other classmates are putting forth.

I love Kentan. Thrilled to see him develop so well. I am starting to think he has a real shot at the league.

Part of Kentan looking good is relative to how the other two seniors have played.

It's easy to look good next to such devastating incompetence.

No, he's just playing very well and Amida and Rodney have been putrid. He's not looking good because they are sucking, he's looking good because he has legit been good.

Agreed, he really has come a long way. Very happy for him.

This is so embarrassing they should just forfeit the remainder of the season.

You completely missed the point. Facey is not playing better because the others have been terrible, Facey is legit playing well. But when any UConn player makes a good play now I feel the achievement factor gets magnified. Because of all that's been going wrong.

It's actually much harder. Because you become the focus. And not the other 2 seniors.

Did you see the way Restinel Lomotney managed to stay on the bench and not walk on to the court and get a technical? A simply dazzling display of composure that will make him a lock for the #1 draft pick this year.

This to me, is a kick in the face to Kelis Fisher
Regardless of the other 2, Kelis Fisher has been a shining star

It's not a kick in the face to Facey. Get a grip.

Boatright is the only Senior I have ever really felt bad for. Facey had only one 'decent' year.

Its a good thing we don't have to worry about any Seniors leaving next season.

Only 1 UConn Men's basketball four year letter winner has failed to be part of a Final Four since 1996. Can you name him?

I can't even remember what I ate for breakfast.

 

[Papadukes]

Very happy for Kentan I hope he continues to play the way he has the last few games

It would have to be someone who graduated either in 2003, or 2008, right?

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

If it's Purvis--well, he's been playing for 3 years. That being said, he does have a national championship ring.

I can't think of anyone else you might be referring to though.

Argh--you quoted me before I edited my post, and I edited it seconds after I posted!

 

[willie99]

other teams know he's been great, they double team him whenever the ball gets to him in the post

they're choosing to let other players beat them

if the other seniors were a threat, it would open up the floor for him

 

[upstater]

I know this has already been said, and there's no use in my saying it again, but man, if only Facey had redshirted his first year!

 

[mauconnfan]

I don't see anyone ignoring Facey but I do see teams recognizing he's better and guarding him much more frequent, with double teams and collapsing. I mean as good as he's gotten it's up tot he guards and Vance to get him the ball where he can score and it can't be on the wing, he's not good with more than a bounce. Actually if anything some of his low shot total is on him, I've seen way too many times where he caught it on the high post turned and had a wide open look only to throw it back. Shoot it Kentan you make more than most anyone on the team, please put it up!!!
