Providence lost to Carelton

Pretty simple. PC plays UConn in an exhibition. UConn treats it as an exhibition, PC treats it as a must win game. PC plays Carleton, PC treats it as an exhibition, Carleton treats it as a must win game.

Let's worry about game results when they count.

Not a bad point but Adams played 35 minutes, so they definitely weren't content with getting blown out.

But in general I agree that you can't take much from exhibition games.
 
It would still have no correlation.

Syracuse lost to Le Monyle and ended up a 1 seed that year. This game was meaningless to PC and especially UConn. It is an exhibition game.

Use your brain.
I never said is wasn't meaningless. I asked a simple question about what YOU would have said in the, hypothetically, opposite scenario. I suppose I don't know if you are being honest or not with your response but, based on your unhinged and irrational response, I doubt you are.

I am sorry that you are triggered and looking for responses you want so you can have an excuse to put down the team or coach, but my response is completely honest. I do not get caught up in exhibitions games. And I certainly do not look for things in an exhibition game between two teams that are not named UConn and try to then say it has some reflection on UConn.

My response has no reflection on my feelings towards this team (or coach which is obviously what you are looking for), it is quite simple, PC and Charlton played a game that means nothing, it is a scrimmage, and if you are looking to somehow use that scrimmage to say UConn is bad (or good for that matter) you are being ridiculous.

Hey MAL looked good I admit it and he seems to have a very nice future. Diallo I loved coming out of prep just one of those guys who will never hurt you, does it all and if he can shoot it brings even more to the table at that point. Very intelligent player would've loved him.

As far as the game, had to stay out of most of the back and forth. Seemed to matter a lot more to the PC kids and they played harder, smarter and more together as expected. Plus they shoot lights out, while I know they can shoot, they also can shoot themselves out of games so we got the wrong one happens. They didn't have 2 other solid players so that's a damn good team anyway.

Listen long way to go. If you're happy with what you saw you're nuts, need to improve in many ways. If you're already jumping off the bandwagon ("Larrier and Ag have exactly 1 win together", freshman are skinny, our defense sucks, can't play together...etc) then you are also nuts. One sudden practice game against PC does little to show what we will do this year, if anything it may have helped a little early in the rust department and chemistry as well. Can we let it play out a little both ways - nothing looks great and nothing looks like the sky is falling.

Keep watching, we will eventually see who they will be, maybe not even until December. But relax man!
 
MAL looks good against shorter guards with no shot blockers. The issue was that he shot 4 to 7 from FT line and his one 3 point shot attempt was way off. You cannot be a good high D1 guard unless u have a jumper. I saw him twice in AAU. He was a high efficiency player but he can be shut down easily if you focus on him. We will see what the season brings, they will foul him like crazy if he does not improve his FT
