So many big shots this season he's hit when the team has been either trailing, tied, or clinging to a lead. Not just a great shooter but a great shooter under pressure.

He has to be the guy getting the ball at the end of the game. I don't care if he's hoisting up a terrible three. Better odds than anything else we've tried.

How was this not a pretty win? UConn beat a top 10 team on the road, without its best player and with his PG hurt, and led wire to wire, with the lead never getting closer than 6 after about the 4 minute mark of the game.

Well said!

If Jordan can do it for his quick release Solo can too easily. He's developing as a better all around player every game. Not just his excellent shooting.

I mean obviouslt Ray was a far better player as a sophomore overall? But as a PURE shooter, nothing else considered? Solo may honestly have him beat.

Yes agreed not as good a player over all but man that shot is the definition of pure.

Obviously Solo.

But many unsung hero’s. Stewart’s cold blooded start. Ross’s defense. Samson with a phenomenal game and made all his free throws. Tarris provided value! Hass gutted it out. AK played 40.

And how about our coaching staff. First game all year we essentially switched 1 through 5 on defense most of the game. I loved that. It fits our pieces so much better.

Moving Ross over to cover kam Jones basically saved the game.

Solo was on fire! Can't believe we had that many turnovers won. Marquette was just cold... missed a lot of FT too. I'll take it.
 
Solo took over. He was a sniper tonight. Crazy win. Wouldn't expect it either 25 turnovers and Diarra hurt. Boys came through.

Need to play Ball a little more with the ball in his hands as the pg.

Solo Ball MVP by a mile! Just an amazing performance tonight.

The team looked so much better, a real turnaround from DePaul and a reaffirmation of my belief in them this year.

Holy cow, Marquette is crazy with the turnover generation. Now we take on St J!
 
With the consistency (and performance in a big one) by Solo, Ross found some defensive acumen, and Liam hopefully getting healthy...our ceiling got a little higher tonight.

I suspect Hass' injury explained his game tonight, particularily his defense.

I still wish Solo was more aware on help defense, but he was better than usual on his man tonight.

If you watched the game it was not a pretty win. The unforced errors(turnovers) were egregious and we won largely because it’s a horrible matchup for Marquette. That said, if you read the box score, it’s beautiful.

Know both are hugely valued in the NBA, but so are defense and ball handling for a 2 guard (and he’s a bit undersized for the 2).

Does he get drafted this year simply because he can shoot so well, and has athleticism to show potential as a slasher? Junior year Solo with the haul coming in would be a wild ride
Expand ...
Yes but would be out of league quickly. He needs to stay

With all the negativity around our sophomore class and Samson giving them the shoutout.

Alex has had his share too, recently. But your sentiment is definitely right.
 
He would most definitely get drafted but not until 2nd round.

If he stays another year and works on his drive to the basket skills, he can easily a 1st round pick. I think he stays.
