That tops the PC Nova game for game of the year

 

[KingAG]

This is a season altering type of win. From here in out they will step on every court feeling like they’re the better team. That means something. We have wins over Auburn and Nova. 2 top ten teams. Not many teams can claim that

Didn't they also go 1-2 on Jax's T?

No that was a double T on both players. There was a foul on the shot.

 

[TRest]

Didn't they also go 1-2 on Jax's T?

That was double t’s so just shooting foul

That was a double t, they just shot the common foul

Yeppers crowd sounded intense and really kept it up

We were down four when Daniels went to the line with 31.4 seconds left and I thought we were cooked. He missed the front end, Kimani TO, Polley 3, Gillespie tie-up, and RJ big boy play for the win. That's the way good teams finish.

 

[F101Voodoo]

And we’re keeping the throw backs

I would not change a thing or that may piss off the basketball god.

 

[UconnU]

Nova base is highly upset about the jump call and the charge.

 

[back2BE4us]

I think we can all agree Kimani should be our new HC from here on out. His body of work speaks for itself.

It should be huge for their confidence. Take each game at a time but we should win the last 3 regular season games. Then the real fun starts. We used to own Jay Wright but he has been the biggest thorn in our side for a long time now. This group of players needed to show to themselves that they can beat them and they did.

Just take care of business closing out this regular season and we will get a really good seed.

 

[Kolumbo]

Cole & Sanogo made this happen. Two all-time UCONN greats. The guy who left last year doesn't come close.

 

[PNolanFan]

Lol at Jackson throwing the ball away on the last shot to blow the cover but def the right play

Where can we watch the post game news conference?

 

[SixRings]

Our path to the sweet sixteen just got a little easier. We’re movin up. Beat Creighton and look out.

Great, Gillespie gets more calls than any player in the country.

 

[HuskyHawk]

That was just a hell of a Big East basketball game. The likes of which required UConn to be part of the league. They really gutted it out after I thought they had blown it.

Amazing D on. Gillespie by Hawkins when he was in, he absolutely owned him. Jackson was good too. Hurley, well, not his best look and he cost the team.

 

[aburks41]

I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY EXCEPT AHHHHHHHHH!!!! LETS GO!!!!!! WE ARE BACK

 

[HuskyHawk]

He only played 13 minutes and only had 2 points but Hawkins defense was nasty.

He obliterated Gillespie.

Hurley is superstitious, just like we keep the throwbacks until we lose he's going to get a 1st half ejection until we lose

 

[mauconnfan]

Couple things which I was going to say win or lose.

The refs were really good overall, called some things they normally don’t and let things go that Nova gets a lot. Solid job.

The game plan was really good by Dan Hurley and the staff on D. If they shoot 30% from 3 we win easy but give Nova credit they buried 45% of theirs. To focus on taking away the one on ones and interior you know they’re going to get some perimeter looks. But they made them work so damn hard to score up close they were never comfortable finishing near the rim. Everyone did their job, no one hardly ever was jumping on the ball fake. Just a solid effort and plan very nice kudos to all.

 

[ThabeetDown]

What a TEAM effort. Everyone that stepped on the court tonight contributed. Gaffney hit a 3. Hawk had the midrange shot and stepped up on back to back defensive possessions AGAIN. Polley big 3s. Martin big 3s. Jackson 8 assists and making Gillespie uncomfortable all night. Whaley with 13! Adama does his thing and then Cole leads. Love it.

 

[F101Voodoo]

Where can we watch the post game news conference?

Wish I knew where

 

[3rdbass]

He only played 13 minutes and only had 2 points but Hawkins defense was nasty.

He also had a nice block and few big rebounds to go with that Defense. I loved when Hurley gave him a high 5 in the first half rewarding him on how hard he was playing on that side of the ball. His offense will come and don't forget that nice bullet slip pass to Sanogo who was fouled which he ended up making 2 FTs.

 

[BGesus4]

How about those sanogo free throws under 2 min?? Huge

 

[Shamon30]

I've been watching this team almost 40 years. Few regular season victories have ever been this good.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Where can we watch the post game news conference?

Will Hurley be allowed in?

 

[3rdbass]

Will Hurley be allowed in?

The only negative that I can find from this game is how bone headed Hurley was getting a second technical. That dude is too hard headed for his own good. He was embarrassing tonight.

 

[F101Voodoo]

This was like a flash back to the 1990’s early 2000’s when we had games like that versus Nova, Rutgers, BC, CHSE, Providence, ……zInfeeel old because I remember those days
