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.

Once HD initiated the offense, there were 9 passes and only 2 dribbles, each by a different player……in 17 seconds roughly

Think Marathon Oil All-Stars, but worse players.

5K Oil All-Stars

Food poisoning?

I don’t know, but that is something of a UConn tradition.

Other than team bonding and building some on court chemistry this means very little in the grand scheme of things. Theyll get more from a couple exhibition games in November. Still nice to see them on the court though.

Guys, do these games mean anything in the grand scheme? I’m not sure?

No

Or yes

They mostly remind the French how much better we are at basketball. But don’t try it with soccer.

Strange picture. Karaban just dropped a 3 ball and is giving the hand signal while the ref is signaling a touchdown. I guess thats French for a 3 pointer

It’s American for 3 pointer.

Not just French, every basketball ref has made the same signal after every 3 in the history of basketball

It means nothing and everything at the same time. #Back2Back

The trip means everything. These trips are huge. Bonding, seeing a beautiful part of the world most don't get to see, culture, experiences...it's not about the games and who you're playing. If they could play against each other and scrimmage against some great teams at home it wouldn't have nearly the same impact.

This type of trip is gold. I don't have any of the same after championship worries I had in the past with this team. There's no egos, I don't foresee guys showcasing, they all pass the ball.

It will take the young guys some time but with the championship experience we have coming back, the jumps they'll make, and Spencer and the freshman getting worked in. This team can turn into something scary.

Or, just another Frenchman surrendering

 

[Samoo]

Leading rebounders were Johnson(8) and Roumoglou (spelling?) (7)

I'm worried, Roumo 1-7, we're doomed...

Don't underestimate the value of the experience for team bonding. It's important. In any event, besides that it's 10 extra practices and three extra games, albeit against weak opponents for a team that has a lot of new personnel. That's hugely valuable.

This is not the Maui Invitational... let them have fun

 

[ctchamps]

The observation reported that they we’re playing with intensity even though the opponent was vastly inferior tells all I need to know that Hurley has another team that matches his philosophy and intensity.

 

[ctchamps]

Hurley also gets three additional games besides exhibition games to observe different line ups.

Oh.

 

[Hunt for 7]

One thing sticks out. The starters were 14-23 on 3 point shots, the bench 3-16.

And Johnson did not take one three. A freshman Ross found a way to put up 7 attempts and our leading candidate for 6th man and who is supposed to be a stretch four does not attempt one from deep during the entire scrimmage. I will keep my eye on that…..

More than that. It sounds like they are playing with precision. Anyone can play hard.
