Rough 2nd half, but when this team is clicking, they put up points in a hurry.

Breakout game for J-Hawk. Love his development

Pretty sure by the 2nd half their legs were shot, after the long weekend.

The three returnees carried the team tonight.
The transfers and freshmen weren’t ready for this level of competition…with the exception of Joey C.

Good point. OS mostly upperclassmen, very good athletes with good speed and refused to give up in a tough road arena. Lots of pressure all game. We were fortunate their big man got in early foul trouble. This Uconn edition finds a way to win games and they too never gave up. They had to earn this win because Oklahoma State was not qoing to quit. Good prelude for the upcoming Big East season.

He’s getting better but regressed in 2nd half. Karaban was open for layups at least twice.

Overall Sanogo played well.

He was poor rebounding and had tons of passes he just didn't make. Plus he missed more shots he would have made if he used glass. I'm expecting more from him now.

Sanogo good first half, just as awful 2nd half both ends. Black hole needs to change its painful to watch him dribble more than once and forget he has teammates.
Expand ...
Yeah. Out rebounded overall and out scores in the second half

Sanogo passing...why does he insist on holding onto the ball when other players are wide open? I counted at least 5 times where he should have passed out but either turned it over or took a terrible shot.

He's gotta look at other players sometimes.

I'll take the 10 point win but this easily could have been 15+.

BTW....0 assists for the big guy.

Yep saw this too late in the second half, he needs to get better at this.
 
There was a point in the second half, I think 56-45 where OSU had a couple of chances to get the game to single digits. The lineup on the floor wasn't getting it done and Hurley had Clingan, Jackson and I think Joey C. sitting at the scorer's table.

My immediate reaction was the opponents have just spent five minutes of game time and have the chance to get in to single digits and at the next whistle they have to deal with those three fresh bodies. It's not quite wave after wave, but it's a real powerful rip current.

Weren’t ready for this level of competition? OSU wasn’t as good as any of the teams they played against in Portland OR.

Kenpom has them higher than ISU and Oregon. Personally think they are pretty similar to ISU, maybe more athletic.

Karaban is tough as nails. Had a difficult assignment on defense and played as well as can be expected. Didn’t have a great offensive game, but played 37 minutes as a freshman. Kudos to the young man. Great effort.

Sanogo definitely missed at least three easy back side passes to Karaban who was wide open. On the last miss you could see Karaban was a bit frustrated by it.
 
Starters played great and I wish they didn't coast the last 10 minutes of the game but it happens. I love the fact that the bench is just as much fun to watch. You always expect to see something exciting when Joey Chili Peppers comes in firing 3's and organizing.

Did I see hasheem the dream behind the bench?
Expand ...
He was there shaking everyone’s hand. Calhoun was there too. Hasheem gave him a huge hug and was BSing with him for a bit. KFree was there with Hasheem and who I assume are Kevin’s kids.
 
Update stats, with minutes. Clingan of seven minute?

The crowd was screaming for him to pass all night.

He was definitely tired at the end of the game. It seemed like he played too much. He slowed down. But overall he plays great. Diving all over every loose ball.

He should be. He was wide open for 3 in the corner, Sango looked right at him, ignored him, and threw up a contested miss. By all accounts Sanogo is a great guy liked by all, but that kind of crap can eventually screw with team chemistry. Scouts notice it too I'm sure. He needs to fix that.
