Le Cannet game

[Chin Diesel]

Looks like Loyola Chicago beat this team by 6 last year.

(Caveats: Loyola Chicago wasn't very good, had some travel issues and a quick turnaround, and one or two of their better players didn't play).

Okay.

That was a clinic. My heart is racing and I'm absolutely drooling on myself.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

In early August, with the amount of talent that we are returning and the amount of talent that we've added I'm not going to worry about the level of competition in a situation like this trip.

I want to see us in mid-season form no later than mid-season. I don't see how this won't help get us there.

 

[Huskybass]

Any news on how Castle looked?

With a 66 point margin of victory, I'm guessing they all looked great.

 

[Chin Diesel]

This sequence is the highlight. All players crisply passing. They knew what to do as soon as they touched the ball and knew where it needed to go.

 

[ElGreco]

I always find it weird how fans try to tell other fans to calm down and don't be too excited. If you want to be calm and not excited that's cool but mind your business and don't try to police how other people react.

Cool. No doubt there is a huge age range of fans here plus some are new and excitable. Remember that we all love our Huskies!

This kind of ball movement all day

But some on the BY tell us we’re not supposed to watch the game, that it could hurt the development of the team’s culture and development.

Meanwhile at Kansas.

Miami

Creighton. There’s more, but just giving some perspective on how these games have gone for others.

Meanwhile at Kansas.

Played the Bahamas national team. From the tweets it was a pretty close game throughout.

That’s good context. Apparently Deandre Ayton, Buddy Hield, and more will play Monday. Tough matchup.

Where was Stewart?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

With a 66 point margin of victory, I'm guessing they all looked great.

Fewer than half the FGs were assisted; Singare missed his free throw; Ross had a 1-to-2 assist to turnover ratio; and Spencer, Ross, Romouglu, and Ball were a combined 5-22 from 3.

There's still time to turn things around, but Hurley's gotta be feeling the heat.

Le Cannet was also in the fifth division last year. This year they are in the fourth division. So in theory their team should be better.

 

[CL82]

Not me. I'd rather listen to Walton talk about The Collector than read some guy talking about his chub.

Admittedly, it's close, but yeah big Larry talking about the teams play given him a half chub is still more interesting than Walton.

 

[CL82]

Big 12 would not be impressed

Maybe, but then again they don't take trips to Europe because it's filled with foreigners.

 

[HailUConn]

Did not read the entire thread, but here is whole team stats sheet:
Clingan and Hurley are shooting 100%!

Spencer can dish!

 

[AntG168]

The competition won’t matter. Surrounding an All American in Clingan with four shooters and play makers(Newton, Spencer, Castle, Karaban) is going to be deadly. Clingan is going to remind some of how good a passer he is. Good Luck guarding him in single coverage. Back to Back. UConn against the World! The End

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

For those interested, Clingan has +5000 odds on DraftKings to win NPOY. 50/1 (I double checked this time @businesslawyer)

DNP

He’s under the weather.

He’s under the weather.

I thought he was still nursing an injury. He’ll probably get the minutes romoglu got today

Glad that the kids got the opportunity to travel and soak up the beautiful French coast
This is great for bonding
The basketball - to me it is far and away secondary - the competition is a step below an average decent HS team
Nothing at all to get excited about except the fact that they are playing together and travelling together - very important
I won't get involved in wire to wire, number 6 etc. I just want to see a NBE regular season and NBE tournament title to start.
