Ballgame, amazing defense second half.

 

[SAMCRO]

Bring on Austin Peay!

I feel good- no wait, I feel bad. I'm shaking.

I'm happy, but I can't type.

Survive and advance? Check

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Brimah useless at offensive end - never a rebound and can't make anything but a dunk. Hamilton overrated and a poor shooter. Purvis . . . paging Mr. Rodney Purvis. Facey, Cassel, Nolan . . . seriously NCAA tourney caliber? Adams? More Tate George than Shabazz Napier or Ryan Boatright or Kemba Walker.

Ahhh . . . that halftime pep talk works every time. Madingly, consistent and at times I explicitly unintelligent in their play.

 

[Marat]

FT throw shooting was incredible!

 

[Gurleyman]

We were well organized with the press break coming out of those late timeouts. Good job by staff in that respect. Would have liked to see us better organized before that, but we patched up the holes in the boat in time.

 

[Point6]

The run will start now. Thank me later.

Ok, you can thank me now.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Boy they're press messed with us, mostly Gibbs but still. We are going to have to rebound and stay out of foul trouble against Kansas. Play the defense we played most of the second half and we will be in the game, that's all we can ask

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Ok, you can thank me now.

Down to the minute, man. Kudos.

 

[Papadukes]

Phewwww and Phil played his ass off

 

[nomar]

You have to adjust to how the refs are calling the game. Miller has never shown that ability.

Miller didn't touch Scott. Apart from walking off the court, what adjustment is Miller supposed to do to not get called for being in the general vicinity?

I totally agree with you that Miller uses his hands too much and has never managed to improve on that. I'm just saying, at least twice today, he literally did not touch a defensive player who got a foul call.

No, not "mostly Gibbs." When you catch the pass 84 feet from the other team's hoop and you're one second away from a ten second call your options are limited. He also came up with the steal that salted it away.

 

[Stinger92860]

Miller had 4 touch fouls. It's been the same calls on him all year, yet he acts shocked. He plays D with his hands and it's too late to change now. They must constantly tell him to keep his hands up. We need him on the floor against Kansas, should they win today.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

He did. I have been critical of him, but he did play very well today.

 

[UConn990411]

Heck of a 2nd half. On to the next one.

Yeah, the last couple of possessions were really outstanding, just perfect.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Poor composure = poor coaching, period.

You moron. Gibbs is a 5th year graduate student. If he hasn't found his composure by now, that's on him, period.

 

[tzznandrew]

Give me Miller/Purvis over their PG. Who, again, stinks.

Call me crazy, but watching the first half I came away feeling like that team isn't very good. They may very well win, and they may very well be the better team today. But they aren't impressive. Part of basketball is not fouling. If we can not foul and hit FTs, I think we got this game.

Called it.

 

[James]

Miller can't be handsy tomorrow night

 

[4in16]

Why did Brimah not play down the stretch? I mean on defense at least.

 

[Northbound]

Philly Nolan baby.

 

[Montaleno]

Good job by UCONN making adjustments to the press. Gibbs Clutch with FT!! Outstanding!

 

[aceboon]

Miller can't be handsy tomorrow night

They need to just put a pair of pockets on his shorts and have him play with his hands in there on D.

 

[Yankees32123]

Miller needs his hands UP tomorrow or Perry Ellis will live at the free throw line.
