And yes I still love this team. And I would have posted it in my original thread if it wasn’t locked.

And my new thread saying as much was deleted.

Maybe this one will stick.

Go huskies.

Thanks @temery

 

[Jholla2183]

Newton is the key.

 

[Dove]

All of the starters were in with 30 seconds to go.

Aside from this...LOVE IT!!!

 

[mrl2016]

Hurley coached a great game

Well timed timeouts, good lineups, good defensive strategy

Great win

 

[EnochRoot]

Giggity.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Hurley remembered how to coach again. Nice.

 

[10TOES]

Me happy. Newton most important player on team. He CONTROLLED everything. He had a hand in every play that prevented a run. One of the more solid games from a player in a must win game in such a long time. Maybe since Shabazz. He is our ceiling. Second triple double just the cherry on top

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Always great to see your favorite team heat up in February!!!

 

[REB1094]

Great redemption stories for this guys. Sanogo with 18/7, Newton with a triple double, Hawkins with 20, and great game from the role players. AK and Alleyne with 13 a piece.

They got punched down several times in the second half, but punched back every single time. GREAT WIN AGAINST #10

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Let’s do that more often!

Best win of the year so far IMO. Hopefully it doesn’t remain that way if you know what I mean

 

[Dove]

Mrs. Dove: " Who's that kid in the striped shirt?"

Dove: "lol...that's the other team's coach!!

 

[OkaForPrez]

It wasn’t Hurley’s scheme that caused us to our rebound them 48-24. The guys played harder tonight than they have in a month.

 

[Mister P]

You knew it would be a good night when Hawkins hit the 3 with the first shot as the shot clock expired.

It’s nice to see a dominant win from start to finish against a quality opponent. Haven’t seen it since PKI.

 

[gsmooth]

And this one is way more impressive than the one against Buffalo due to quality of competition

 

[YearoftheHusky]

That felt so distant, yet oh so familiar.

We will go as far as Newton takes us.

 

[Mets1432]

We are practicing at XL the day before games every time now. What a game.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I still can’t believe UConn lost to St. John’s. That is such a brutal loss. UConn would still be in the mix for a 2 seed if they hadn’t lost that game.

 

[Mr. French]

Awesome performance, played great and consistent from second 1. Newton and Hawkins aggressive on offense and guys knocking down 3s makes us as good as anyone in the country.

 

[Jaydumo20]

You can't maintain that 20 point lead against a well coached, hot, top 10 team if you're not a very good team.

 

[SportsFan88]

When we get good pg play from newton we become very hard to beat, loved the balance as well, this was as complete a game that we played all season.

 

[karstenkibbe]

Assists on 60%+ of our makes. Sharing and ball movement reminded me a lot of November and December.

 

[Palatine]

All of the starters were in with 30 seconds to go.

Aside from this...LOVE IT!!!

A very Calhoun like move. Pretty sure Hurley is trying to stretch out the guys we will need to major minutes in big games.

 

[3rdbass]

Nie to see Alleyne hit the 3 pt shot and i loved the 2 charge fouls he drew. Newton triple double is the key player. Karaban seemed to hit all the big shots in the second half when we were sputtering. Everybody played well and our defense was good especially in the first half.

 

[HailUConn]

This win alone will move us up a few spots in AP poll.

With Newton playing like this in last 3 games, our PG position solidified.

Gosh, Jordan has 4 20+ points games out of last 5.

Sanogo and Karaban steady force as ever.

Last but not the least, Alleyne is slowly showing out his game!

Hope this team is embarking on a journey that we are so accustomed to in last two natties!

 

[boba]

Let’s do that more often!

Like every time out for the rest of the season? That was a top 10 performance in every aspect.
Oh and Marquette had 7 total assists. Kolek can put up 20+ points, no problem, as long as he gets fewer than 5 assists. He had 4.

There were so many key things that fed this win

1. Alleyne had his best game of the season, on D and on O
2. Newton handled the pressure well, drove the ball, found open people (who hit the shots) and helped tremendously on the boards
3. Karaban was his usual, unselfish, high BBIQ self, being in the right place and hitting shots.
4. Sanogo wasn't a black hole, made some shots but also found open shooters, including that sweet dime to Alleyne on the back cut
5. Jackson could play his game because of better player and ball movement, so his guy couldn't just track the ball and double. And he made some incredible plays on the boards.
6. Getting them in a little early foul trouble in the 1st half helped. And we didn't foul much except the final 3 minutes of that 1st half.
7. This was a 25 point win if Clingan didn't miss some of his bunnies and free throws. He'll get it, and when he does, wow.
8. Hawkins. Just, Hawkins.
