Liam got some swagger!

[Lambeau]

One quibble--when Liam drives to the rim, he seems to give up on his shot as he is fouled.
NBA players tend to muscle through the foul and complete the layup--I think of Bird and Jordan.
When Liam doesn't get the call, he turns astonished to the ref, and comes away with nothing.
But I love that he is driving more.

McNeeley reminds me a bit of Larry Bird.

On one play - the 3 ball late- that's what I was thinking but then I came to my senses. He is a good ballplayer and a keeper for sure but Larry was just Larry. Watching some of Flagg's highlights from the other night though ...

Another article with analysis of McNeeley's pro potential after watching the Baylor game. This is just a small part of the write up on him.

What scouts have now seen is exactly what we had been saying about McNeeley in high school. While he's known for his shooting, he's a far more versatile scoring threat than he gets credit for. In fact, he was able to put more pressure on the rim yesterday than any other UConn player.

I think he was challenged and told that he needed to step up and put this team on his back. I think he excepted the challenge. Very well could have been a pivotal moment in his career. Nice job kid.
