This is a very different team, folks. UCONN is playing at a high level now (the first 6 minutes notwithstanding). I really hope we continue and punch our ticket into the dance. They are fun to root for...

 

[August_West]

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

First one pulled fall away like cinci did to brimah .

Keep that up!

 

[Travelman6]

6-2 to start the 2nd half, 41-25. I can live with this. Keep this up and beat Memphis at home next game and Uconn is back to .500!

 

[Matrim55]

Two offensive rebounds in 3 mins for UCF to start the half, both by Fall and both leading directly to hoops.

Got to cut that out.

EDIT: Make it 4 in 4 minutes, leading to 3 buckets for UCF. We're being outrebounded 5-1 this half.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Keep the foot on their throat.

See if this team can keep this in the 12-15 point lead range for the next 6-8 minutes.

We need to extend it to 17-20 soon.

Fall is a load underneath.

UCF is +10 rebound/game on the year. UConn outrebounded them by 10 in the first half.

Given the choice of UConn keeping a hot hand shooting or maintaining the rebounding edge, I'll take rebounding edge. UCF can't score against UConn running its half court offense and going one and done.

Enoch looks like a preschooler next to Fall.

I get what you're saying, but it's a false binary isn't it?

I just want us to rebound better.

EDIT: Fall is killing us, so Ollie drags him in a pick & roll 18 feet from the hoop, and Brimah is able to draw the foul on the kid. Good coaching from KO.

It's raining in Orlando...

 

[Dove]

Bottle this snow

 

[Chin Diesel]

UConn has gotten real good the past 5-6 game with a high pick for Adams with a shooter sprinting to the opposite corner for the three. That shot by Vital was one of many times that play has been working.

 

[UConn990411]

The effort on the glass needs to be better.

 

[huskyrob1]

I think UCF is better when Manute's brother is off the floor.

 

[Matrim55]

 

[Chin Diesel]

UCF has extended pressure and UConn has gone four straight possessions of not starting offense until less than 12 seconds.

 

[UConn990411]

These foul calls are skeptical...

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

That stupid call again

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Massive play by CV!!!!!

 

[Dove]

Wow Vital with a bacon saver.

 

[Matrim55]

I love Christian Vital. He's got more dog in him than anybody since Boat, at the very least. CITY kid.

 

[UConnDan97]

What a hustle play by Vital! He needed that from a mental standpoint. Adams needed the timeout too. The team can get their wind back and their heads...

 

[HuskyHawk]

The Huskies are gassed and are burning clock. I don't like it. KO needs to use those timeouts to get the guys rest.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Need Facey back on the floor if for no other reason than getting defensive rebounds. That's the only way UCF is scoring.
