Providence Post Game Thread

[auror]

Gampel was bananas. My voice is gone and I’m going to be no good at work tomorrow. I toast sitting in the parking garage. Go Huskies!!!!

I toast to you, $2 beer night Warrior. Drive safe.

Do we need a point guard now? Or should we expect that silly thread a few games from now

Yah…..where’s Fishy who started that ridiculous post…is he back in his hole waiting to come out with some future negativity? 12, 7 and 9 from our point guards. Solid effort running the offense and from both of them defensively!

I think they really wore Carter out. On the offensive end he expended a lot of energy trying to get away from Andre. On the defensive end he was chasing Hawkins all over the gym.

 

[Brochacho]

Favorite game in years. F Providence.

Tonight I'm dishing out likes like UConn dishing out dimes.

Ever since Hurley changed the offense Sanogo is a different player. The numbers probably don't show it but he's been a much better player since the change.

Yes. And I would underscore this point by saying Sanogo is not just a different player but that he has been asked to play a completely different role in the offense and he has made the midseason adjustment and is thriving.

Credit to Hurley for making the adjustment and big credit to Adama for delivering.

Sanogo was great tonight and even though he’s mostly getting ball away from post, he still shot 7-9 with 16 points. He sees the floor and makes good passes (mostly)

It was also nice to see Adama get the ball in the low post a few times and PU did not bring the double and he scored easily. It’s like we are countering their counter-move!

I think in the tournament that low post might be there for him as well as teams are not seeing us twice or three times like in conference.

I’ve said it before … Adama is a rock. When the other parts around him play well we are hard to beat.

Yes UConn needs a top notch PG - a passer and a facilitator. Nothing has changed. Got away with using 1 PG and two 2's at that position tonight. If you don't think that the PG is the most vital position in college basketball then I don't know what to say.

Very happy Joey got to hit a 3 on a huge stage for him at the end. Kid blew out any expectation anybody had for him this season. Deserved one more moment in Gampel

 

[Huskyforlife]

Sanogo getting his 16 points on 9 shots instead of 18 is so much better for this offense. He’s not good enough to be an offensive initiator consistently, but he’s great at finishing dump offs and over mismatches. I’d love for him to come back next year with an even better perimeter game, so he can fit better next to Clingan.

 

[Punkbo]

An absolutely wonderful effort on both ends of the floor. The shooting was excellent, we distributed well and played lock down defense when it mattered most. Team turnovers continue to be a problem, but our primary ball handlers, Newton and Jackson, had 11 assists and only 2 TOs.

 

[ElGreco]

If that didn't seal freshman of the year, I'm not sure what will. Brilliant comeback game from Karaban.

Offense and defense

Don't cheapen your LIKES, man.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Sanogo was great today. AK and the Hawk are money. Great D by AJ.

Sanogo was very bouncy today. Played above the rim and was exploding to finish.

That makes so much of a difference for him.

 

[uconngb]

People hate Jackson cause he can't shoot. But man his rebounding and d are next level. I counted five plays tonight where he extended plays that made a difference. He needs to play. But not shoot

As by far his biggest critic, I have no problem w this

 

[ElGreco]

Hurley can’t win the close one

That’s what someone on their chat line said. We were either gonna blow them out or lose a close one

 

[Rico444]

Hawkins is a stud. Beautiful game

He is a no doubt NBA player. When he catches the ball on the perimeter, it doesn't matter what direction he's facing, the shot is going up and probably in.

 

[ElGreco]

As I said before, there is not a team in the country that is more dependent on favorable home court officiating than Providence is.

They hate to hear that and how lucky they are. Where is Friar J??

 

[superjohn]

Karaban just goes about his business, under the radar and then you see the box score. He was 7-12 for 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal. He knows where to be, not just on offense, he plays smart defense, (doesn't mean he doesn't get burned). I just like the way he plays the game.

Karaban is shooting 40% from three on nearly 5 attempts per game. That's pretty damn good for anyone, let alone a freshman power forward.

He started the year at like 35% as a 6'8" freshman, and his response was like "I'm better than that." And he's proved it. He's going to be so good in a couple years.

Clingan Karaban frontcourt is going to be special.

What is that tweet?

He tweeted this gif ahead of the game

 

[uconnfan68]

UConn looked like they did in the 1st half of the season when they started 14-0. An immensely satisfying win!

Hawkins is a stud. Beautiful game

I almost lost it when Hawk missed the opening tip. He stepped up afterward though.

Thank god I didn’t piss myself while waiting for the bathroom during halftime.
