Mal was mediocre? You watched a different game than I did. In the game I saw he had 7 assists to 1 turnover and we contained the pick and roll far better in the half game he was in than the half game he wasn’t. But I’m old so maybe my eyes aren’t good.

This was never going to be ‘23 or ‘24 where we won a championship without being tested. But you know what? We’ve won 4 championships where we were tested at some point, and had other great wins that were close, good games. If winning huge games any way you can isn’t enough for you, you may want to look into rooting for the UConn women instead.

God, this board is insufferable sometimes.

Not this board, just a few punch bowl turd floaters

@WeAreUCONN

Time to publicly pick a side my friend because we have no room for that bad juju you've been spewing here lately.

Seriously. Duke has Iconic championship teams. UConn has lucky performances. The Laettner/Hurley Duke teams destroy any and all UConn teams and it’s not up for debate. The number of championships doesn’t really matter. It’s the quality of the teams that matters. Duke beats us in quality performances and Iconic teams.

I just got home from watching the game with some UConn brothers at the Crack (Cracker Barrel in Tarrifville). Tried to climb into bed - wife said I smelled like the 1000 beers that I drank (didn’t drive), and she told me to sleep in the spare bedroom with the dog.

I’ll spend the next two hours searching other fan’s sites and enjoying the win! That was beautiful!

Just scrolled the MSU "only colors" forum and for the most part they are being pretty classy to our guys. Good to see. Out of all the big time programs I respect the hell out of them

The MSU fans were pleasant. The St. John’s fans sucked although their suckiness was put to good use because all of their vitriol was directed at Duke and those who stuck around for the second game were already psychologically checked out. My wife and I chatted with the mother of a Duke student who was very gracious but otherwise they were what I expected- combination of wine-and-cheese snobs, dbags, nerds (i.e., the kids who actually deserved/deserve to go there), and of course legions of bandwagoners.

Malachi does a great job eating some minutes and taking care of the ball. Perfect backup. But for those of you who think he would be useful at the end of a close game, remember he shoots foul shots at about 1 click above 50%. can’t afford that.

He can come on in for Defense as he was even doing that better than Silas and then come out when we were on offense. Either way it is nice to see Silas running the offense better and not dribbling too much. The one time he was dribbling too much we got that offensive foul on Karaban on the pick he tried to set.

I actually agree somewhat with this. I think the problem for them is I don’t thing they have enough at the point. Main question is can Alex stop Boozer?, and if not, at least score on the other end, then it cancels Boozer out. That’s the #1 thing for me. Everything else is a crap shoot.
Expand ...
Will be a game for Alex and Stew. Stew plays really good post defense typically.

I just hope it’s called fairly. I was thinking that if Boozer put up 31 and 27 it would be all anyone talked about. Reed is an absolute beast this tournament and is unfairly overlooked by national media.

It wont be called fairly. Duke is typical Duke outshooting teams at the line 3-1 in this tourney

Both teams missed a lot of bunnies, something about those rims. When they canned a miracle three at the end of the shot clock, it felt like it was going to go sideways. The fellas just kept going and ground one out again.

Our FT shooting almost did us in, but Reed going 4-4 down the stretch and absolutely carving out the paint to get the intentionally missed FT was massive. Our seniors led this game.

Silas was tentative, short armed evwrything, refused to make bold passes. MS was very mediocre. We had no second ball handler with Solo and Braylon very shakey handling the rock. I don't know how we got by with that sort of production from our guards.

Solo had an important game for him and us. Not dominant by any means, but we need that to be his floor.

Why can't we just play dialed in all the time? No lead is safe with this team. We match up better with Duke than SJU so I like our chances on Sunday. Going to need to really make Boozer work with Reed.

There was one play where Demary had an open three, but instead dribbled into traffic and lost the ball. He has to feel OK to take that shot
 
First UConn game in like 20 years that I had to completely miss. Went to bed at like 9:30 to get up 1 because my wife booked a flight at a lunatic hour. Get to watch it in the plane though.

Do the same moving forward because I don't trust anyone who lets their wife book the travel. The baggage fees alone when that happens should make you know better.
