As I said before SOLO IS OUR GO TO!

I must have missed that.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

I'm not usually wrong but I thought we’d liose by 20. Great effort for the biggest win of the season. Hopefully this wasn’t our superbowl.

 

[uconnbaseball]

I can see a universe where Ball becomes a postseason killer, McNeeley is the new Castle, our centers both mature rapidly and keep growing into their roles, and this team makes a run in March.

Not sure it happens but it’s more believable now.

 

[Mister P]

And we get another week of recuperation and conditioning for McNeeley.

 

[auror]

Koby Brea who?

 

[Vowelguy]

It was 8-4 two minutes in. Never got any closer. That’s domination Holmes.

 

[HailUConn]

Solo strung together back2back double double. The game is slowing down for him.

 

[JetsUC93]

Great Win on the Road in the Big East! Less turnovers would be nice though.

 

[BugsyCT]

Came out strong from the start and did enough to weather it the entire 2nd half. Excellent win!!

 

[superjohn]

I've been trying to tell people all season, Solo is on his way to being a star. One of our best three point shooters ever and the rest of his game keeps showing itself. 10 boards.

Huge win.

 

[Hi-Low]

Those were some Marquette momentum killing threes by Solo !

Soul crushing 3's galore!

 

[Mike Honcho]

Great win that should keep us top-25.

Let's never talk about those TOs again.

Solo may be our best shooter ever outside of Ray

Solo is shooting 67/147 from 3 this year. That's 45.6%. Wow.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Great win that should keep us top-25.

Solo may be our best shooter ever outside of Ray

I think so. Hawkins had a pretty stroke and we called him baby Ray but percentage wise Solo is killing it

 

[NIT88]

By far the guttiest win of the year. There is nothing left in the tank, but with Liam coming back, watch out.

 

[HooperScooper]

Great win! It wasn't pretty but almost every time they needed to score down the stretch they did.

Ball is blossoming before our eyes. Big time shots.

The rumors of UConn’s demise have been greatly exaggerated!

 

[blkknight1]

Hass was clearly just running on pure adrenaline the entire second half. Stewie hot early really set the tone. Probably the best team defensive effort all year. Gotta get heathly though sju is a physical team.

 

[Deleted at users request]

Keeps playing like this and he won’t be here next year…and I’m very okay with that!

I would like for him to develop his overall game before making the leap. Just so he can be as ready as possible.

 

[Excalibur]

Shooting 60% hides a lot of faults. We just made big shots.

 

[TheShot1990]

The crowd was hoping the Eagles could pressure the Huskies and make an epic comeback.
They could not.

 

[Huskydog45]

6 days for Diarra and McNeeley to recover…..hopefully full strength for the Johnnie’s at Gampel….crowd will be electric!

 

[djct1999]

What a game by Solo. This was huge win. Huge. So many things to clean up, need to get healthy, but tonight showed the heart of a champion.

 

[NHUConnfan]

Despite the 25 turnovers, we only let up one Marquette run (end of 1st half).

Lucky? Perhaps. But there was real solid D played today.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Great win that should keep us top-25.

Let's never talk about those TOs again.

I agree on Solo. He is right up there with Ray as a shooter. He is kind of turning into a star.

 

[Kembafan]

Huge win. SOLO BALL'S SHOOTING is the story of this season (so far)! If he can improve his defense (and it's improving) and his ball handling (getting better), he can be a really great player. I have faith in him. We forget he doesn't have a ton of game experience, really.

I know it wasn't always pretty, but this team showed me something tonight that I haven't seen in them very much this season. There are a few very fixable problems with this team on offense. Defense is getting better. I have hope for the rest of the season!

 

[jibsey]

Solo Ball had 25/10 tonight. Tell me he’s not a superstar like our biggest names of the past, Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Donnell. This is right up there as far as I’m concerned.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Soul crushing 3's galore!

Really can’t remember another game where a player has taken the air out of a bumpin’ arena that many times in one game.

 

[Dibbie]

So proud of the boys. Might have just lost Solo to the NBA. Alex another 40 minutes. Sam perfect from the floor and FT. Hass playing through so much pain. Ross becoming a D star and Liam just itching to get back on the court.

 

[Bogey02]

Solo. Ball. Momentum killing 3’s all night, absolute baller

 

[Kolumbo]

How the hell can a team win with 25 turnovers?

12/19 from 3 helps a bit.

Marquette's defense was crazy especially with the rope they were given. Huge effort to close out this win.

 

[blkknight1]

How the hell can a team win with 25 turnovers?

Hit 70% from 3. The other team misses a ton of free throws.
