House money tomorrow potentially. Bring on the Spartans

Great win. Nothing would make me happier to have KO be the guy that brings us back to prominence.

 

[Walker11]

Oregon is unranked but they are integrating a lot of talented players and Altman is a good coach. Nice win regardless but this has a good chance at looking like a great win come March.

Those were some lame Ducks tonight.

We did enough to win, and that's all that matters today, but we can be a lot better. (Same for Oregon.)

KO is 2-0 vs TO

Feels good. It is going to take me a few hours to fall asleep now. Worth it.

 

[EBonz30]

Just pure grit, got a bunch of gritty players who dive on the ball...

Like I said this morning if Uconn could get more lose balls than Oregon we have a good shot & we got just about every loose ball...

Uconn just played harder, the game didn’t come down to much else...

 

[Kemba429]

Im glad that game went to us, I lost my mind about 17 times during that thing. On to the next!

 

[JMick]

I was extremely impressed with their play tonight. Especially the first half. It looked like a different squad

 

[tykurez]

Give me the Kevin Ollie detractors!

 

[whaler11]

Oregon clearly not great. But 3 time zones away when Oregon got up a couple of possessions in the second half they didn’t fold and fought back. Even after having the big men foul out.

Survive and advance.

 

[Walker11]

The importance of picking up an out of conference scalp cannot be overstated. Especially when we can not expect all these new players to gel out of the gate. Possibly facing a MSU team without Bridges, too.

Don’t forget pluck! We had pluck tonight too!

I can't believe we beat Oregon on the boards playing 4 guards for extended stretches of this game. Nice work by the whole team.

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

Oregon isn’t what they were last year, but that’s a young, talented group.

Beating Oregon in a de facto home game for them with Phil Knight court side at a tourney in his honor? That’s a big time win, no matter what you think about Oregon.

It’s good to feel good again. Bleed Blue.

 

[Kmba2Rmemba]

4 guard lineups FTW

Who’s Next.

 

[upstater]

POG was Alterique Gilbert for me, but 1A was Anderson.

Those 2 carried the team.

Larrier, despite his stat line, also was tough on D, caused a lot of turnovers, and he got to the line where he shot 7-8.

 

[Balker]

This win builds confidence for a team learning to play together. That will hopefully pay dividends in the next two days.

 

[8893]

I can’t believe I stayed awake without napping.

Scotch time.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Not to try and take credit but I did crack a rolling rock at 62-60 Oregon preceding the game ending run.

 

[husky429]

Just put a game away with a 6'2 PF and a 185lb C.

Amazing heart from the dogs

 

[UConnDan97]

Toughness and swagger. We are already ahead of last year's team by a lot in those two categories. I really like the way this team is looking right now, and imagine when all the new players start to really gel together...

 

[SixRings]

Thankfully we won. Win or lose I like this team.
