Let the Hawk fly now please!

He shot he shot 50% from 2 and 66% from 3. How is that inefficient?

AJ should be able to do that dunk a few times a game

AJ attacks the hoop oddly timidly for a guy with extra-terrestrial hops.

Doesn't really help your case since he had 25 points on 13 shots that day

If we get 3 years from the Hawk, he could become a LEGEND!

It absolutely does help my point. 5 turnovers in a double digit loss was a sub-par performance by Cole. In the rematch against Nova he only had 2 turnovers and UConn won. Cole has well over 2200 points in his career. Everyone knows he can score. All I was saying was that the one game with five turnovers his performance seemed a bit inefficient. I certainly think that's a fair comment. In fact, I think Cole has played well enough this season to either make first Team All Big East or second Team All Big East. He is incredibly important to UConn, one of the most valuable players in the conference.

He’s certainly our most important player. The team seems to be adapting well to stretches without Sanogo, but no Cole would be disastrous. We’re extremely fortunate to have him.

Hawk is repaying Dan Hurley for the confidence he has put in him. Great trend heading into BET/Big Dance

Hawk played 21 minutes, scored 11. He’s going to the rack more and getting fouled and that’s a good thing.

Hawkins' dunk vs. the Hoyas was #6 on Sportscenter's "top 10 plays".

BTW.. Over Mohammed.. Pretty decent player himself

There is no magic combination thats going to turn this team around.

Good, because we're going in the right direction.

I think it's a matter of trusting his handle enough. He seems to be developing more confidence in that regard. Actually I'm seeing it with Hawkins too. Its like they are both ready to impose their will.

Exactly. They’re both exceptional athletes whose handles were holding them back getting to the rim. AJ has shown himself to be a good ball handier bringing the ball up court, but it didn’t seem to translate to getting to the rim. Once he gets that down, he’s going to posterize guys routinely.

 

[jibsey]

Is Hawk OK? Haven’t seen an official word on that.

 

[1999GoodSon]

Been saying it for weeks. Give Hawkins at least 10 shots a game. God that's a pretty jumper!

What a call
