Newton: “give me the ball”

[HooperScooper]

Road game wins seems to make a key difference as they are so hard to come by. Newton wants the ball more in these key games for good reason and the coaches encourage it. We won! WOW! Newton is a near generational player for us, much like Paige B.

Absolutely nothing as far as officiating is concerned. We heard the same whining when the team played in the AAC. We hear the same whining in games played on a neutral court, in the tournament, and in non-conference game.

Those who complaining about the refs look like whiny little bitching fools.

Refs make mistakes. Turning mistakes into a conspiracy theory is embarrassing.

We don't seem to moan much in the tournament

For the last two years, I think fouls and free throw disparity is dramatically different between conference and non-conference games

As for why, that's speculation I suppose

Sorry, if this is a dumb question, but can Tristen Newton dunk? I don't recall seeing it. I see him as a Tate George type of big guard who plays below the rim. Correct me if I'm wrong.

22-23

He clearly read my comment.

Nova pulled a Duhon on the last shot lol.

Lol, I thought exactly the same thing at the time.

That's where people stop taking your post seriously.


There are bad refs same as any profession. I'm sure there are even corrupt officials.

But none have decided to screw UConn whenever they get a chance.

So we shouldn't believe Goodman? I'm not sure why he'd start the conspiracy theory out of nowhere

Newton played 39 minutes btw.

They showed a stat during the game that Newton averages like 13 ppg at home and 20 ppg on the road and somewhere around a 20% better shooting clip. I think the guy just lives for big time road games.

In the Nova game it's partly that and partly our other scorers were struggling. He's had some great home games against weaker opponents. He's not Cam or Alex. A much more chilled personality until something goes off inside. His reaction late in the game, up two, where he missed the first of two free throws was the most upset he was with himself that I've observed. His demeanor is even keeled most of the time. Which is why he was able to compose himself quickly and make that second shot.
