NOVA vs FLA ST 1:00 pm

[HHusky]

On ESPN. Good watch for serious Boneyarders.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

What about casual Boneyarders?

 

[HHusky]

Casual hoop fans can watch too.
Serious UCONN hoop fans will also tape it and watch again prior to Nova + FLA. ST.
games.

I’m actually a follower of FSU hoops as my entire family went there. FSU is an incredibly balanced team. Will be a huge challenge for UConn especially with the 7’4 Tacko Fall lite they have

 

[HawkHusky]

FSU's got some big boys.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Rooting for Nova here. FSU should still be Top 25 even with a lose. Nova would climb a few spots closer in the receiving votes category too.

 

[gampelcrazies]

UConn can play with both of these teams

 

[Ajs120102]

Villanova has tons of turnovers. Might have trouble with Hurley’s defense

 

[Bonk]

I see a lot of similarities between what Cosby Roundtree is for Nova and what Mamadou could be for us. Gets tough rebounds and finishes.

Florida St.'s big guy is kind of a stiff though he can pass. Gillespie looks like a solid guard in the mold(a little quicker and craftier) of the Iowa ones who gave us headaches.

 

[kansashusky]

JQ not playing again. Something to monitor.

 

[superjohn]

Gillespie looks identical to Arcidiacano, it weirds me out.

I get the sense we will, at the very least, be competitive with both of these teams. I'd be very happy with a split. 0-2 wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if we can beat Zona.

Could struggle heavily on the interior against these teams and any top 50 team, but I like our backcourt in both of these matchups. Polley will be the X factor and it would be a huge bonus if we get some level of contribution from Sid, especially on the boards (along with CV).

Taquito Fall?

We should be able to compete against Villanova up front. They definitely aren't imposing there. They are a bunch of guards and wings for the most part. Pretty similar to us.

When’s Cofer getting back for the Seminoles? (He should’ve been ours)

Hurley will have them competing in both of those games will need to take care of the ball and a couple bigs will need to step up but we will have a shot to get a couple Ws or at least a split.

The starting pg number 2? I've watched a couple games and he looks lost. Doesn't shoot at all

JQ not playing again. Something to monitor.

Any idea why he isn’t getting minutes? Interesting considering Gillespie is only a sophomore and almost certainly a 4 year player.

The general consensus is that his defense leaves much to be desired, and he looks to score rather than pass, but it is interesting to monitor because Jay Wright does not traditionally coach the one and done and this could be used against him.

Today he was the player of the game though.
