Couldn’t have asked for a better game. STELLAR defense. Karaban got his revenge on Hopkins.

This team is growing SO much down the stretch.

In honor of the kids in the crowd that put in the work, it's 8:30pm, I've had 2 double IPAs so far and I'm going to drink 3 or 4 more. Enjoy it people!

 

[BugsyCT]

I'm happy. Finally hit those guys in the mouth. This and Marquette were our best conference wins of the season.

 

[SubbaBub]

If the bench can lock up teams like they did tonight we will be tough to beat.

 

[Mister P]

Another good all around game by Alleyne.
3-3 on 3 point shots and steady defense as usual.

 

[jibsey]

So Clingan came in at 14 minutes we’re up 5, he leaves 6 minutes later up 13. Great stretch and Sanogo rested up to pound PC when he came back in.

Providence made 9 field goals the entire 2nd half. None between 15:19 and 6:06.

 

[That Guy]

Phenomenal win. Best 2nd half I've seen us play all year. Having said that, knowing this team, I'm already fully prepared for an absolutely infuriating loss @ SJU on Saturday lol

 

[Palatine]

7 assists for Newton, not a great night shooting but 5-5 from the charity stripe.

Maybe he is the point guard y'all are lookin fer.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Great win. For a change, I don’t think we can find anything negative about any of the guys tonight. Truly a team effort. Contrary to what often happens late in the season, more bench play seems to help this squad. We wear people down. Relentless.

Hurley can’t win the close one

 

[UConnRock]

Alleyne with just some killer 3 pointers. He was a difference w/ limited PT. And now I flip over to Syracuse getting embarrassed by Clemson. A good night

 

[superjohn]

Hurley's best coached game and our best game of the season.

He changed the offense many games ago and it's made all the difference with the ball not sticking and we found out Sanogo can actually pass. The defense and rebounding was next level.

He relied on the bench and let them play through mistakes. I've been begging for more Clingan minutes all season and Hurley played him through some major freshman struggles he had tonight and he was rewarded for it. Clingan finally had a major sequence to get us to the under 8 and then Adama was as fresh as a daisy to help totally break it open down the stretch.

Providence is a really good team and we destroyed them in every facet of the game. Just an awesome performance by Hurley and the team. That's gotta be big for our confidence for the stretch run.

Found Karaban’s spirit animal

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

Ewwww….no.

I really like him, if he is scoring all the better because he is solid defensively too.

 

[Hunt for 7]

AK is really reminding me of Henefeld now. He is a stud and getting better. He outplayed the alleged conference player of the year. When they defend like this they are a title contender.

 

[Skiblets]

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

 

[phillionaire]

[Conndog]

A great game!
AK is sensational on both ends;
AJax played under control a bit.

Yeah, Karaban was phenomenal! Really smart playing- loved when he motioned to Hawkins to come around him because Alex was setting a pick and Hawkins got the pass for a layup.

yeah it was his best coached game by far. If it wasn't for all the early turnovers this would have been over at half time. The offense looked great.
