There are no monkeys left

The TV people will be looking for a new monkey. Uconn hasn't beaten a ranked team on Wednesdays before noon.

Marquette played really hard. I hope we get a chance to play them a fourth time this year, and I bet they hope so too.

I really dont wanna see them again

I just have never been a Fanta guy. But...that was great.

So many pieces. Great coaching. Strategic thinkers. 19 minutes for Clingan yesterday. Small ball with karaban yesterday. Rubbery legs today. Feed the ball to Clingan. D up and rebound. Young gun with the daggers. Fresh legs good form on his shots.

We have unselfish high IQ players. 8 that can hurt you.

Garden was electric. Shoutout to all fellow husky fans, it was utterly bonkers

I wonder if we will see more of this defensive strategy with these heavy overloads on the perimeter and ball screens? It worked for most of the game for Marquette.

What worked was we were ice cold. Missed bunnies and open 3s. We put up 47 points in the second half so if it was the defense it got figured out. Dan Hurley needs to get more credit for the adjustments he makes. He has become a master of taking away what is working for the other team.

Stuff works when you see somebody 3x. Doesn’t work so well in the NCAAs.

Big East toughens us up.

Glad we got that ice cold first half out of the way. I think things start to settle down with a few home cooked meals.

To each their own but the last team I want to see is a great team(if Kolek plays) that has played them this many times on a neutral court

Seriously. Keep them away from us. Teams that have never actually played us are at a huge disadvantage. And Shaka's a good coach. Give them Kolek and another shot, and while I still think we'll win, it's going to be much more challenging than the last two.

Go to 1:40 and watch Shaka

Its a legit 8, Samson is fine and I wouldn't be surprised if he plays better outside of the conference

People are way too down on Samson. He's had some good moments. He fouls too much, but he also really didn't get regular minutes much until this year. Next year he'll be a very good starting center. He'll be a downgrade from the last two...but because Sanogo and Clingan were that good. But I expect something like 11 and 7 with fewer fouls.
