FT shooting is becoming a real issue. There will be games where it matters.
Overall a good Silas game and then everyone else was cold. Some brutal play by Mali and really a space cadet game by Reed. Hurley will have a lot to work on in practice, but a big east win is a big east win

Ball, Mullins and AK shot a combined 2/17 from 3 and we still won by 16. Smith improved to 60% from the line.

Brutal game but when you can sleepwalk to a 20 point win that's still pretty impressive (I know the margin slipped to 16 in garbage time)

Demary was our best shooter today.
Glad to win by this cushion with such poor shooting by everyone else.

Didn’t get to watch, what’s the verdict

 

[HCCForever]

Good scoring game for Reed, Reibe, Stewart and Demary. Nice to win in spite of poor 3-pt shooting except for Demary.

Stewart had a good game with blocks, assists and rebounds.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Good signs from Silas apart from fouling.
More importantly, I'm very happy that Stew and Ross seem to trade having great games. They have both been the guys that save games from sliding and also have been responsible for big runs and timely energy plays.

Also, J Stew is a phenomenal passer with sharp instincts. Love that dude

Marquette is bad

Do I have to say it… Michigan would’ve hit those free throws and threes

J Stew had a solid all around game today.

No takeaways from that game other than Shaka should be embarrassed that's the team he put together for this season and Silas desperately needs to stop fouling.

That was our F game. Lazy passing the entire game, horrible shooting and the only one who looked excited to be out there was Jaylin Stewart. That looked liked one of those games where UConn was totally uninterested in playing a cupcake.

Over/under on Marquette winning 2 Big East games?

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Not our 'A' game by any stretch.

Still won by a comfortable margin.

Not much else to say.

Solo hard fall second half got up grabbing his wrist

 

[aceboon]

Knew the AK stinker was coming after Hurley was politicking for a BE POY award on NYE. Let the conference season at least get to the halfway point before starting that. Biggest takeaway was how bad Marquette is that UConn was able to play a D game and still sleepwalk to a 20+pt lead, Donny applauding Shaka for not going portal dipping and using this as a "development" year was comedy.

He’s quietly becoming a monster

 

[NewBlood]

Slog but take it and move on. Great game by Stew. This team is good and deep. Each game we see different pieces flashing. Silas, getting some confidence in that 3.

Move on to Providence and keep working on those free throws, we need to be a 75% plus shooting team, today, 66%

 

[KingAG]

Silas starting to regain his shooting touch from last season is the I only thing I took from that game.

Make your fts please. Especially Malachi. YOU ARE A GUARD.

At this point I will take all of the wins and the tape for how we can improve. We only need to be a well oiled machine by March. We have time to fix the kinks.

Is this a mediocre shooting team?

238 in FT% and 147 in 3p%

Beginning to fear that Solo will end up more of a 30% shooter for the season

 

[SwingDog]

Not a very pretty game, though there were with some bright spots with different players stepping up (particularly Silas on offense), showcasing the team's depth. The bottom line is it goes in the win column.

It can't be emphasized enough that this team has play with purpose, energy, and focus every single game. St. John's getting beaten yesterday at MSG by Providence is a great illustration of what can happen if they don't.

 

[HooperScooper]

A win is a win but I don't feel so good about that one. Hope they play better on Wednesday. And shoot better from three. 5-24, 21% from three.

The offense still looks a little rough. Defense seems to be their calling card since that's been more consistent.

Question on Mullins. His shot selection is not the best. Freshman being a freshman. Do you just live with it knowing that he needs to go through this at this level to get better or do you ask him to rein it in a little?

Streaky shooting team.

He made 5 3’s last game.

Live with it. He’s obviously making them in practice
