Props to Tyler Polley

[Scoe]

Great to have super seniors, he needs to be in the lineup over Jackson, AJ would be better off the bench anyways adding more energy.

"Tyler Polley is a bad man."

That was Tyrese Martin's response when he was asked about the game's leading scorer after last January's UConn victory at Butler's Hinkle Field House. In fact, Martin spoke that sentence two times.

Martin was the first of 3 Huskies to foul out yesterday, and from the bench he watched the "bad man" fill in for him, and then some.

Kudos to 3 posters who have noted themselves as Polley detractors who appreciated his part in defeating Auburn. It would be nice to read similar thoughts from more, as well as several who decried that the team couldn't land anybody from the 2021 Transfer Portal and pooh-poohed the retention of 5th year seniors Polley and Whaley.

When was the last time 3 UConn payers fouled out in a game?

When was the last time 3 UConn players scored more than 20 points in a game?

Who would've ever imagined that two prized recruits won head-to-head over Syracuse would score zero points against a team that put up 109, and that the game would be a victory, while in the following contest from Paradise Island, Syracuse would score 55 points amd lose to VCU?

GREAT DAY TO BE A HUSKY FAN. LET'S DO IT AGAIN TODAY!

We can only win with Kevin Ollie’s recruits!

We need it all: Ollie's recruits, traditional transfers w/pre-UConn ties to the Hurley family, recruits for whom we overtook or outmaneuvered a former BE foe now in the ACC, red shirts, early entrants, and 'run-of-the-mill" 4-stars. All. Of. It.

PS - I got to see Dylan Cardwell, Javonte Brown, and Landers Nolley yesterday. I like who we have.

Polley giveth, Polley taketh away.

He did what he always does when his shot isn't falling, hid in his shell. He's a weapon but he just completely disappears when he isn't hitting. It's how it is his entire career.

Yep, and he is either white hot(like 4 times a year) or ice cold. Seems like shooting 2 for 5 from 3 is out of the question. He not only made shots, but also played tough and scrapped yesterday. Today he went back blending in and being allergic to contact. Major props for yesterday but this is who he is.

I guess you're right. Can't hit the broad side of the barn the last 2 games.

Yup and I got slammed for saying this. No idea why Hawkins doesn’t play over him

Already had his hot game for the month. He's all out of quarters
