Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 5161440, member: 12147"] Overall it's hard to feel great about needing a 14 point home comeback against PC without Hopkins, but I feel great about a 60 point second half and a gutsy W! The good - [LIST] [*]Game ball to Hassan Diarra. He was the spark plug for our comeback. Under control, great passes, aggressive scoring. If he can do this consistently, I feel much better about our offense without Liam [*]Great second half from Tarris. We're used to him dominating offensively but he was owning the paint defensively today [*]AIDAN MAHANEY! Forced 2 turnovers and scored 2 buckets in our 13-0 run. Choosing to ignore the over and back (which I need to see a replay of, I'm not convinced it was real), but season high 15 points on 4-5 FG, 2-2 3P, and 5-6 FT [*]Karaban got eaten alive in the first half (more below), but toughened up in the second half including a clutch block [/LIST] The bad - [LIST] [*]Karaban got HUNTED on defense in the first half. I think there were 6 buckets (1/3 of PC's points) by 6'4 - 6'6 guys just backing him down and shooting over him [*]The scout is out - hold, shove, and grab UConn off ball and you'll get away with it 80% of the time. Expect to see a lot of this, the team will have to adjust [*]Got a bit nervous at the end..needing to burn 3 timeouts just to get the ball in isn't great [/LIST] But at the end of the day, look at our box score. What a beauty. Let's go Huskies! [/QUOTE]
