Of course it hit the rim. They just stole away an easy layup..

Facey with the 3pt play though. I'll take it

Mini test here.

See how team closes out the half.

They've built a 7 point lead with 8 minutes of good hoops.

The early season UConn team would squander this lead.

 

[BUConn10]

Not a fouls with the slap but his lower body impeded Purvis' shooting motion to the rim, foul almost every time.

I think Jalen being top 6 nationally in all of D1 in APG with this unreliable of an offensive supporting cast is one of the most impressive statistical standouts this season in CBB, but it will also attract NBA scouts like flies.

You can never be too sure with these things, but I'm not too worried about Jalen leaving in such a guard-heavy draft. He seems exactly a year away from being NBA-ready, and I get the sense he'll be more willing to listen to Ollie's input than Hamilton was.

Purvis is on fuego.

Rodney is the key for us to win the AAC tournament. Rod is playing like NBA Rod now. We have enough in Jalen, Rod, Amida, and Kentan to win the AAC.

Out-rebounded them 24-13. Had two turnovers (including Jalen's brainless cross-court pass with 3 seconds left) in the final 15 minutes.

When we're good, those are the reasons why. When we're bad, it's because we struggle on the boards and with valuing the ball.

Also, Rodney has turned into Wes Bialosuknia over the last 3 weeks, which is nice.

In this room, we have enough.

 

[BugsyCT]

Rodney 5-7 from 3s 1st half, 17 pts overall.

He should never go inside the arc again.

 

[nomar]

I missed most of the first half. It was 22-22 with 3 minutes left. Now it's 35-23 at half. Wow!

What up Dana dominatrix Jacobsen

 

[nomar]

Not a fouls with the slap but his lower body impeded Purvis' shooting motion to the rim, foul almost every time.

I would've lost my s--- had we been on the other end of that call.

He is our Rashad Anderson.

How old are you? Among the most forgotten of all the great players. Along with Tony Hanson.

Finished strong despite the throw away by Adams on the last play.

UConn grabbed a rebound and Vital was pushing the pace with 1:00 minute, recognized clock and tempo.

He slowed it up so UConn could runs it's offense. Leads to Purvis'final 3 of the half.

I missed most of the first half. It was 22-22 with 3 minutes left. Now it's 35-23 at half. Wow!

26-7 run

40, so the first great UConn player I really remember was Earl Kelley. My dad raised me on stories of Wes's jumper and Tony Hanson's ability to get to the rim & finish, though.

It was 2-0 four minutes in to the game.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Can't believe we ended up with 35 at the half.

It's shaped just like CONNFLiCT trophy

Durham gave Brimah a nice rest.

 

[BUConn10]

seeing a respectable uconn fan presence at a meaningless game in orlando on a saturday night against two unranked teams is very nice to see, our fans always seem to have a little section behind the bench no matter where we play. CBSSN shoping more uconn fan footage during commercial breaks than actual UCF fans.

 

[UConnDan97]

Facey with that mid range game becomes a very dangerous player...

 

[Chin Diesel]

Extending a halftime lead is definitely a sign of growth for this team.

Great start to the half. Facey knows he can freeze Tacko and then shoot over the top.
