Props to Tyler Polley

[HooperScooper]

I know there's a lot of complaining about his overall game but they don't win this game without him. 24 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists off the bench. The kind of stuff you need to win games like this.

 

[Jumpman62114]

Huge game deserves to start instead of Jackson

 

[Waquoit]

The Polley doubters need to take the rest of the season off.

 

[Huskyhoops25]

Without a doubt he carried us late!

 

[Mazhude]

Compare that to Whaley's line tonight...

 

[navery12]

Was never worth overreacting to the bad games, we all knew he was capable of getting hot and doing this. He stepped up when we needed it, and did plenty of little things other than his 3's too

 

[uchusky32]

Big game. We needed him and he delivered.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I bitch about him a lot, but he was critical today. Love seeing him grab some boards.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Polley will be the R. Anderson for this team.

 

[Hi-Low]

Polley was cool as a cucumber and was wanting the ball every trip down....big props!

 

[Kitaman]

His experience showed. Never flinched, panicked or lost confidence.

 

[UncleSpliff]

Reminds me of last years Marquette game.

 

[elmcityboy]

polley can win games for us single-handedly. he showed that last year. incredible.

 

[millertime7774]

Won the game for us. Period.

 

[elmcityboy]

got a little misty thinking about him and whaley's journey. a parting gift from KO.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

He's a great shooter. They were going to start going down. He was the guy I assumed would be much better than he's been once they got to the Bahamas. Imagine thinking those shots should go to Jackson. Yikes.

 

[superjohn]

He was awesome, backs were against the wall and he refused to let us lose. He was also huge early in the first half coming out of the timeout when we were getting blown out. He stopped the bleeding and got us going.

 

[AtlantaHusky]

Much love to Polley. Happy for him and us!

The second he stopped just standing around looking to spot up and actually put the ball on the floor to get space hes been hot. I expect him to be good all season. Ive criticized him but not for his offense as i know he can shoot and when he gets hot he can carry you for a half. My issue has been his lack of doing anything else and basically being horrible defensively. Tonight he played hard on D and grabbed some boards. Great game from him.

 

[Sibeerian]

That game is what Polley and Whaley came back to experience. So happy for them.

…. And 2x 6th moy

 

[Hi-Low]

That game is what Polley and Whaley came back to experience. So happy for them.

So happy they came back for us as well.

 

[huskyfan224]

I’ll easily eat crow. He has been maddening during so many games but has been amazing others. Just was hoping for less of a roller coaster throughout his career. Tremendous effort

 

[awfuldan]

So huge. Made so many of the most important shots in the game. Expected every single one to go down too.

 

[Captbluefin]

Polly is steady. He did not get flustered. He has walked a long road with a ton of tough losses.
He did not waiver.

He was a true Sniper today. Much respect for staying the corse.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Won the game for us. Period.

Yup

 

[Husky Alien]

I bitch about him a lot, but he was critical today. Love seeing him grab some boards.

I do too, glad he contributed in other ways also.

 

[Conndog]

More than just offense too! He was tough on defense including the corner 3 attempt near end of 2nd overtime, he made it difficult for Jabari Smith and didn't foul him either. Numerous times he contested for the rebound and even if he didn't get it, he often helped to keep the ball alive so a teammate could grab it.

 

[Dibbie]

Kinda like the Creighton game last year (or whatever game, I’m getting too old to remember). Hopefully he’ll build off this game and have more like them. He’s tough to face up with his height
