Yea if he can become more efficient(getting stronger will help some) he's gonna be a tough guard, his ability to draw contact and get to the line is pretty remarkable for a freshman. Got a bit of TNew in his game in that regard, I can see why Hurley was recruiting him as a combo guard.
Just curious… did you struggle with the guy who is 5th among UConn’s all-time assist leaders? He was 21.5+ years old when he played his first game in Storrs, and it’s likely he’d be our career assist leader if he was here for four years, like the four guys ahead of him.
They are dismantling their opponents
You are seriously going to bring this up now? 3 weeks in. When a lot of the data from last year is still incorporated. Peak Boneyard.
Did I say I was worried? It's an observation. Some of you are sensitive as sh#t. My god. Take a look at if there is anything that was written there that you needed to get your panties in a knot over.
Yeah, it dropped from like 5-6 to 16. There are some really impressive wins happening on neutral courts. It’s early but many of the top teams are halfway into their OOC, when a lot of baseline metric is built. Point is we have some work to do in these next 4 big OOC games, all an opportunity.
The BE being so bad makes these next 4 OOC games even more critical. We need to beat at least UF and KU and UT to have a shot at a 1 seed and that might not be enough depending on how the P4 shakeout. These injuries occurred at the worst possible time other than March. Would happily have traded some BE Ls for these OOC wins.
Yup - I know it's early to think about seeding and resume, but this window is massively important. We are seeing those that are separating. And there isn't much of an excuse on it being early as UM is basically all transfers. They're also strengthening the B10 power ranking. If players can play, they should play. I'd be really disappointed if Mullins & Reed are off the floor Friday.
That is exactly the point I was trying to make. It's clear that OOC is what the NCAA uses to determine if your conference wins are worth anything. Unless the Big East picks it up, and that includes UConn not losing even without Reed, we won't get much credit for beating anyone in conference. Some mediocre teams in the Big XII and perhaps B1G will get credit for playing a very tough slate even if those teams fall off.
I agree but we just don’t know if they can play. Idk how bad the injuries are, idk what the risk of reinjury is, idk who makes the decision for them to play or sit, I’m not a doctor so I’m not questioning all that or doubting the players I’m just frustrated like everyone else
Right on. It'll resemble last year with the SEC. This year the B10 seems to be driving the bus as they have a number of high quality wins. It's important that we get as many of those wins now as possible, so these injuries are tough timing. Even if we can get these two out there for 10 minutes, it'll make a difference. Ankles are durable - this isn't like a knee.
Seton Hall really surprised me beating NC St and almost USC.
Should have beaten USC - haven't seen quite the ref job like that one in a long time. It was egregious, and I'm not one to over emphasize reffing issues as it usually presents some balance. This was OOC. Look at the FT disparity, and watch the last 2 minutes.
expecting another win but will be rooting for KU so they have a stronger resume when we beat em
Holy crap!!! They were down 1 at the half... now down by 32??? 😱
That's a shame.
