One of the best civic center crowds in recent memory. Hat tip to the women singing the national anthem who screwed it up and then the crowd cheering her on Mo Cheeks style. Wonderful Mojo.
Hartford had it tonight

Mrs. Edmund Saunders anthem got the building going!!!

Marquette’s board is highly upset about Donny Marshall calling these games. Says he has a massive bias lol.
I loved that one time Al McGuire did a UConn game!

are they still funneling everyone thru one or two entrances? Why is it so empty 5 min prior to tip

So Hurley knows how to coach now? And the amateur athletes know how to play now? And the ebbs and flows of a CBB season happen now? Asking for a friend
Amazing how wonderful Hurley coaches when Hawkins, Polley and Cole make 3 pointers and Whaley and Sanogo don’t get into foul trouble in the 1st 5 minutes

My gripe is Polley didn't get the rock in the 2nd half. He was open several times when the pass went elsewhere. And the shot

Waq I am afraid to say something similar because it’s a good win. But I am disappointed that neither Polley or Hawkins got looks in the 2nd half after warm first halves. I mean a focus should be to run something to get them looks. I’m sure Shaka made it tough as well but hot shooters need looks!

I mentioned this in @RichZ Thoughtz thread.

Jackson had a nice drive and kick out to Cole in the corner for an open 3. Ball was halfway down but popped out. Jackson is the only UConn player who can penetrate and kick. When Cole penetrates he's looking to shoot or make an interior pass. Martin isn't passing to anyone once he starts his drive.

In the halfcourt, Polley and Hawkins are only getting shots if the weave and screens get them open. Better coaches know how to mitigate that.

That was the one that should have went to Polley, he was equally as open on the other side. Tyler had look of a guy that was going 5-7 from 3 tonight.

Maybe this should be its own thread, but how could it have gotten so bad? It makes no sense. He’s a junior with a lot of experience.
People here have stopped cheering for him. If you think that cheering helps the team, then cheer for him.

Like I said previously: we are a bad matchup for Marquette. Unfortunately, Creighton and Villanova are bad matchups for us.
Nova is definitely a horrible matchup for us. Creighton isn't, we just played like dog poop against them.

Marquette has no answer for Sanogo.

He has solved this dilemma by just playing Gaff less than 5 minutes a game.

Not possible in a game where Cole gets in foul trouble.

I think at this point we're probably stuck with Gaff. I'm sure if he could redo the season Hurley would try to prepare Diggins more for the backup role

Great win. UConn needed that one. Sanogo and Rese with a great game. Lets get the next one Huskies!

i didn't say they avoided a brutal loss. I said they refused to allow themselves to lose.
A rare instance of something like this being pointed out and me seeing that I'd read it wrong.

We’ve only seen Rahsool play with Hurley Jr and co. Not a fair comparison. We need a competent backup and I hope it’s him, being a freshman assuming more upside

All-time great name, too. Both his full name and nickname are spectacular.
