Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 4780531, member: 12147"] I've missed UConn basketball! My favorite parts - [LIST] [*]Karaban is looking a lot more offensively polished. Lots of perimeter drives under control with good finishes at the hoop. New career high in scoring! [*]Hurley sent a message to Castle by starting Diarra in the second half, and I love the idea to let Steph play late in the 2nd. He gained confidence in real time and that will carry over [*]Samson had a great dunk, a great block, then 2 fouls in 2 minutes. And then another dunk. And another. And another. Still looked a little out of place on defense, and needs to cut down on the fouls. But man, he could be so good for us.. [*]Newton was aggressive getting to the hoop and to the line. Hope he keeps that up all year [/LIST] Things I didn't love - [LIST] [*]Clingan still looked pretty clunky in the post early in the game. It's looking like most of his offense will be from pick&roll and cleaning up the boards [*]Love that we got to the line for 37 free throws, but shot 65% on them. Clingan 44% and Castle 63%. Clingan's form still looks pretty decent. Castle's not so much.. [*]Early in the game there was a lot of passing (which is good) and a lot of fluid offense (which is good), but nobody was really looking to score and it led to some awkward possessions. Obviously it fixed itself as the game went on [/LIST] But how much can I complain about a 43 point win? Go Huskies! [/QUOTE]
