Went to the clock killing offensive slow down with 3:55 remaining which didn’t go well. The team seems to struggle doing this. I wish they would keep running the offensive sets and look for the open/best shot instead.

Doesn't make sense to me why they do it instead of just running their normal offense, the offense already chews up alot of clock as it is.

Top 10 win on the road, I love newton but damn he was bad with that trap

He needs to get rid of the ball rather than hold the ball and hope for the foul, which is what he was doing. Spencer and Karaban are both excellent free throw shooters, and Castle has been really good lately too, so Newton can pass to them. I'm sure the coaches will talk to him about that.

First road win against a ranked team in 10 years! Marquette punched us back hard once in the 1st half and twice in the 2nd half. We responded very well the first 2 times, which led to us being able to survive the the 3rd. A W is a W!

My favorite parts -
  • Great game from Karaban. On fire from 3, and great work on his cuts and drives too
  • Cam was furious when he picked up his 2nd foul, I knew he was going to make up for it in the second half. Finished with 17/8/6 and 5 threes. No comment on the technical
  • JAYLIN STEWART TWO BIG BOY OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS AND A NASTY BLOCK!
  • Solid scoring game for Oso but Clingan had a great game defensively anyway. Marquette's guards were terrified of the paint while Clingan racked up 9pts/12reb/4blk
  • Really rough game offensively for Castle, but the true freshman stepped up to the line and iced it with 8 seconds left
  • Team defense was great. Marquette shot a good % from three but it felt like most looks were heavily contested. Great switching and fighting around screens
UConn has positioned themselves VERY well to clinch that East Region 1 seed. Let's go!!

Cam’s T changed the momentum dangerously. I think TNew was expecting a foul call because they were fouling him in those traps.

Refs let defenders get away with a ton of contact against Clingan due to his size. Whenever he's facing up to the basket and going into a shot attempt defenders hack the hell out of his arms and get away with body contact too.

Thank you!!!! I didnt mention it in my previous post because i didnt want to get flamed for whining about the refs but it was ridiculous!!! He got fouled at least 3 times that were clear as day!!! I was yelling at my tv "thats a foul!!! thats a F%@%% foul!!!!"
 
Stewart’s shot wasn’t falling, but I liked his energy. I’ll take a second unit of Stewart and Karaban at the 4/5 over a lineup with Samson Johnson any day. Samson was fun in November, but he is lost out there now.

Yeah. We really need to knock that off.

Cam and AK missed wide open threes that would've iced it but we did go into slow down prevent mode and Tristen seemed to be welcoming the trap. I feel like we get into analytics in these situations and it does work out with the win but it seems to be tempting fate. We don't score when we do it. I was just waiting for the ref to call Tristen for the second consecutive bump of Stevie Mitchell right in front of him.

We also busted the “never winning close games” label this year as well.
Expand ...
That’s only because we turned a 14 point lead w under 8 to go into a nail biter. Those aren’t the kind of “close wins” we need

It should be clinched. I mean at worst we lose to Prov and lose our first game in the BET and we should absolutely still be the one seed in the East. There is no concievable reason why anyone else should be.

Clingan was getting fouled the entire game while Oso was allowed to push off for his scores.
Expand ...
I don’t know that Oso pushed off that much, he was just allowed to lower his shoulder and displace the defender. I’m fine with some leeway there and didn’t have an issue with most of the non-calls but there was one specifically where he dropped his shoulder into Clingan and sent him staggering back a few steps. Truly mind boggling that one wasn’t called. Clear offensive foul.

I like Samson but hes still making the same mistakes he was making in November. Like dude do you not yet know how to set a pick without fouling? Seriously?!!!

They were pretty terrible all around. How do you have to go to the monitor to see if that Clingan shot hit the rim? It was incredibly obvious in real time.
 
Some poor handling of the trap and bad decisions. Good: stuff for Dan to work on ahead if the tournament. Main key was Alex waking up, realizing an imposter had been suiting up for him and stuffing that guy in a dumpster. For tournament time, that’s the key. Cam in tournament time, I can scarcely imagine how he will not simply explode. Guy would probably rip your arms off playing Jax.

Psyched for at PC.
