Liam McNeeley Appreciation Thread

[CardiacAndre7]

Missed everything except the last 4 mins. Saw his stat line and was flabbergasted. What a win man! He must be flying up draft boards, a lot of the other guys near the top are not playing as well as expected it seems.

Hurley needs to lock AK in a room and burn some sage to get the demons out.

Can we talk about how they cleaned up their turnover situation? Only 6 tonight!

We have a new point guard now.

I loved when the announcer said in the first half that he thought Liam's ankle was good. It sounded like Lappas.

Mods, can you please move this to the McNeeley appreciation thread? I didn't see that was already started.

When it comes time for seeding, wherever we finish, the Committee needs to look at this game and realize what we missed for 8 games.

That was the best freshman performance we've ever had from a UConn player and a top 5 UConn performance I've ever seen from a player. He singlehandedly won it for us at a place we've never won in the Hurley era against a ranked team that's won 10 Big East games in a row.

Everything about this kid is special. He's our best player by far, he's our smartest player, he has by far the biggest balls on the team, and he's our emotional leader. The last 7 seconds of that game show everything he's about on top of the 38 point 10 rebound performance. Unreal.

Look up, sir

 

[GoConn]

best performance I have seen by a Freshman in a Huskies uniform.

 

[GHSWolverines]

In Liam we trust.

 

[tuvent08]

Maybe back to the Donyell game vs BC? I don’t know. He’s an incredible player and our best player by a country mile.

Thinking we ride McNeeley at pg and insert Stewart into starting lineup.

 

[Apollo]

I am not into hyperbole... but considering the circumstances, the way other guys were playing, and it is on the road in Hurley's personal House of Horrors?

That is the greatest single game performance I have seen in my almost 40 years of watching Husky hoops.

Absolutely amazing performance by Liam! And in only his 2nd game back from a significant injury? Wow, just WOW!

We have a new point guard now.

It's easy when they don't play pressure defense unlike Marquette and St. John's.

 

[UC95-Duke00]

Great road win, Go Huskies!

 

[Jaker]

BEAST!

 

[Conndog]

There is no way he's a freshman, what poise and calmness in the middle of a tough road game in front of a sold out rabid crowd, someone check his birth certificate!

The kid is a stud, we're so lucky to have him!!

They should check birth certificate of Ashworth too- didn’t they say he has played 150 college games? I know he’s 24 years old

I said it early on: Liam is my hero.

I hope someone has screen shotted after he got the layup and foul over their center and he had FIERCE on his face.

 

[mauconnfan]

I miss him already!

Creighton doesn't turn teams over.

Well, we will see shortly whether you’re right or not.

 

[Glastonhusky]

THAT has to change!

I think Solo's wrist is bothering him. I know it's his right wrist but it can still throw off his shot. Alex, no idea.

 

[superjohn]

Hopefully Dan Hurley realizes it. It's a conversation for another day because we won, but the ball was right back in Karaban's hands on the possession when we needed to score under 2 minutes, granted he scored on one of the two possessions

Hurley is way too stubborn sometimes. McNeeley is one of the best players we've ever had and he still wants the dude who looks like he has Freddy Krueger in his head with the ball at the end.

I know I saw his right wrist taped heavily earlier this year and that didn’t bother his shot accuracy.
