[Hey Adrien!]

Can’t wait to play them again in the Big East tournament.

Redemption is real

 

[Mister P]

From the first possession alley opp to the last defensive stand. What a game.

A big confidence builder beating Nova before tourney play.

LFGGGGGG!!!!!!!

 

[PNolanFan]

Best game in a long long time

 

[Mister P]

Three, yes three, offensive calls against Gillespie…It’s about time the refs didn’t overlook this.

 

[JeannoCT]

Great win!

 

[superjohn]

Unbelievable crowd, unbelievable guts, unbelievable win. I'm so damn proud of these guys.

 

[KingAG]

That was amazing

 

[WhereistheDove?]

What a performance. It's not even like they beat a Nova team that was struggling. Nova hit 44% of their 3's and played a good game. The defense was incredibley disciplined and while we struggled at times with force-feeding Sanogo (and really telegraphing those passes), they ran a very effective and balanced offense. Incredible performance across the board.

And a special shout-out to Andre. He played a phenomenal game as a facilitator and on defense.

Sweet sweet victory! Loved Kimani's plays.. and my lord Cole.. where do I get one of those wrist bands?!

 

[Cassius Klaiber]

That was a fight. Great win, good to see those winning plays in the last minute. Definitely feels like we’re back now.

13-5

 

[UConNick]

Reddit post today said something like 90% of teams that are first to 69 in a game win. We just blew that up naturally

 

[jchusky]

NO MORE STINKIN'n MORAL VICTORIES! And you can take your flopping behind back home Gillispie let's goooooooooooo

 

[Umami Zen]

Kimani was the X factor-Great job on the bench

 

[PAHusky]

A lot of credit to go around but when Polley is making shots - especially big shots - it raises the team’s potential through the roof.

 

[tuvent08]

Enjoy Kimani for this season. What a performance.

 

[YoungFree]

All this talk about Kimani getting poached is the only thing that distracted from the game of the year for us!

 

[UconnU]

And we’re keeping the throw backs

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Greatest victory in years…. Awesomeness

 

[HeGotGame]

WE
ARE
BACK

 

[Scoe]

Polley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone played well, a battle of guts and we stole it from Nova.

 

[UconnU]

 

[storrsroars]

And to think we even spotted them 4 pts.

Team has learned to finish. That Gillespie got tied up was the cherry on top.

 

[oshkosh]

Without Polley we lose. He is important

 

[hoophuskee]

Terrific game. A lot of heart. A ton of heart.

Rafferty is blind as a bat. That was a charge. His lower body crashed into Cole.

 

[jbdphi]

Just huge shots by Polley and then Cole was able to close both on the offensive and defensive ends.

For a game with very few fouls called, the refs played too large of a role but overall an amazing game.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Three, yes three, offensive calls against Gillespie…It’s about time the refs didn’t overlook this.

I mean that second one was just about the most egregious push-off I've ever seen. It felt like he really went for dramatic effect there and really sold the push-off.
