He's done it before this season. On more minutes, I think. It's uncanny.

That would be truly impressive.
Because it’s ridiculous that someone could be that invisible time and time again

I was wrong. Closest came against Creighton. Had 0 points, 0 assists and 1 rebound in 17 minutes. Pitched a shutout with 4 fouls against USC but that was in only 4 minutes.

Yes, so tonight is the high water mark.
0 fouls, 0 turnovers, 0 blocks as well. Bro just went out there and ran around

Among the biggest enigmas in UConn history.
You said it . BE POW one week, no stats for a month after that. Bizarre.

He is what he is at this point, his game isn't going to change. He's a (very) poor man's college version of Channing Frye. I would like to see us run some more action for Bouk opposite of Polley when he's running off screens, or even the bigs after screening for Polley because teams have been militant about trying to run him off the 3 point line since he went on his hot streak.

Would rather play B Adam’s at this point.

You would rather play a shorter player who shoots worse and also doesn't rebound or pass well and also turns the ball over all the time?
Don't ever coach, please.
Even when he pitches a 13 Trillion like tonight he is a threat and spaces the floor.

No, I was actually txting my sister that he doesn't run around much, and definitely not enough to get himself free for uncontested shots. The only explanation/excuse I could come up was linger effect of the ACL tear.
I don't want to post negatively about him, but what I see is on a continuum that goes from puzzling to bothersome.

I'm not going back and forth with the insults, but Polley literally can't do anything besides shoot. Adams is shorter but does everything else better than Polley including defend, rebound, pass and finishing. With Jackson in the fold I'm over the Polley experiment at this point in his career.

I was lucky enough to be at the game, Tyler did draw a lot of defensive attention. Hall clearly focused on limiting his shots and I do think he creates space for others even if not scoring. . . that being said some rebounds would be nice.
When puzzling is your upside, that is not good

I love Polley and accept him for the role that he fills, but he is actually among the worst 6’7+ Rebounding players I can find in history using the player index.

Defenses sag off of Whaley and Jackson making it more difficult for Sonogo, Cole and Bouknight to create. That is not the situation when Tyler is playing. There is a value to having Tyler on the floor for offense even if he doesn’t score.
I was happy he only had one play that his player slipped past him this game. However when he plays tight defense he is slow to react for rebounds.
Brendan is only a slightly better defender, definitely a better ball handler, not as good at causing defenses to blanket him the way they do Tyler and is a free throw liability relative to Tyler.

6’9”.....that makes it way worse
