Hass and Reed today:

 

[UCLJ0211]

Overshadowed by Reed’s monster game, but Karaban played very well. 17 points, 2-4 on 3s. I think he’s out of his slump officially.

I loved Tarris Reed's game, would like to see more aggression from McNeeley, Alex is taking things slower on his drives and outside shooting, which is helping him a lot.

Defense is still a huge concern because PC missed a lot of makeable shots.

Against any other team than DePaul or Butler, it would've been a tight game.

Our defense is our defense at this point. Outscore the other team. There’s no point in harping on it after every win or loss. Away wins are always nice. Keep rolling.

Hurley calling that timeout at the end to ensure the opponents senior walk-ons played on Senior day is a testament to the man that he is.

Hopefully all of those hating on him lately can take notice.

Class act

 

[Palatine]

Reed in BEAST mode. Want to see it against high level competition. But will take it against the Friars.

Nice to see the pure shot from 30 feet by Karaban.

The 5 spot is now golden for the rest of the year. Karaban will show up in March. As will Ball and McNeeley. The only concern now is PG. We need Diarra to get healthy.

Let's hope he stays out of his slump and the law of averages kicks in and makes up for that slump.

Pitino disguised as the Good Humor man. I’ll take 2 toasted almonds and a chocolate eclair please.

So Providence did not in fact have as good a chance as anyone today?

 

[freshler40]

This was the most complete game they played all year. No really bad stretches in the game.
Reed showed he can totally dominate and take over the game. He has to start and play 25+ minutes the rest of way. Samson is good but he can’t bring what Reed brought today.
I would like to see Samson get some minutes at 4 with Reed in there when Karaban takes a breather.

Yes! Except that our offense would suffer at the 4.

And the bench to consistently give something, anything. I didn't watch the game and I will be going to sleep real soon, but looking at the box score I am pleased with the win, but really disappointed in Ross, Stewart, and Mahaney.

I mean he did against St John’s twice. Not quite these numbers but still

Mahaney played like 2 minutes

Baby steps. Most complete game in awhile. Soild Contributions from most. Stress free. Nice way to start our Saturday.

Reed showed one of the more dominate games by a college center you will see in recent years. It reminded me of Bill Russell turning away a lot of driving players.

The two he missed weren't bad misses either.

 

[JungleLobo]

Only 1 team in history of Big East has failed to get a bid going into the Big East tournament with 21 wins.

That was 2024 St. John’s.

The Huskies must win 1 out of the last 2 home games against Marquette and Seton Hall to get to 21. I suggest if it is indeed only 1 win of the final 2 it be the latter.

 

[AntG168]

Lot left to play for this year .

But a Reed, Ball, Alex core is a great starting point for next season

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Reed just had about 8 Johnson games worth of rebounds today. Unreal.

 

[TRest]

I’m convinced they don’t card at the dunk.

 

[JungleLobo]

Really strong performance from our bench today. 24 points, 18 rebounds, 7 blocks, 2 steals!

Tarris Reed needs to play every single minute possible. If he’s not in foul trouble, or if he doesn’t need some rest, he needs to be in the game. WHAT A MONSTER GAME FROM BIG HOSS TARRIS REED!

Great three point shooting across the board as well. Great game playmaking from Diarra with 10 assists

That was fun!

Let’s be real though, it was an ideal matchup for him. Marquette won’t be giving it up over and over.

 

[superjohn]

They never did
