Great win. Wasn’t looking good for much of the game, but the team kept coming. I’m spoiled, so I expected the comeback.

Fun team to watch.

 

[CL82]

Impressive game by the starters.

 

[Nameless]

As disgusted as I was at points watching that game... God that was fun to watch. What a comeback to boot. Incredible game from Silas, 23 points and 15 dimes is insane.

It's games like this that made me love basketball when I was a little kid.

Silas just had his Kemba performance. One of the best perfomances we've ever had from a point guard at UConn and we are the best point guard school in the country.

Some of the best defense you'll ever see. 23 points 15 assists, just 1 turnover, 4 steals and the game winner.

The whole team lacked composure tonight except for Silas. We get run off the court if it wasn't for him.

And for any people still thinking Mullins will be here for a second season, you're crazy.

Unbelievable and a Big East battle 103-98. No way

Yeah Mullins is gone. His shot and movement is so smooth and effortless. I loved when Demary chatted briefly when bringing up the ball in the back court to Mullins and said we are running the play for your shot and he made that 3 in OT. Huge!

We looked slow and soft in the first half. Improved the D in the second half and were more efficient and effective on offense. The star power of UConn, Mullins, Demary, Reed, and Karaban all rose to the occasion and got us the win. Stewart played his ass off too. Ball needs to play harder and better on defense, because that’s why he sat on the bench the last 15 minutes of the game. That was one hell of a game and we were fortunate to get the Win, but it was well earned and hard fought.

Just got to a tv for overtime. Why was Solo on the bench?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

THE BRINGER OF RAIN!!!!

I love that nickname! We needed this. Not sure what happened to Ball but big for the team and Silas / Mullins.

Hurley realized we couldn't defend them with Solo and Mullins on the court. Stewies length at the three made a huge difference

English was our MVP tonight.

That’s taking the accomplishment away from our guys

 

[Scrappy3]

Great game
Props to friars and especially our guys

 

[HCCForever]

Wow is right. Nice comeback. They couldn’t get over that 5/6 point margin until the end. All starters in double figures shooting 56.% from three vs Providence shooting 58%.

Very nice game by Silas. Ran the clock down before sealing the victory. Great pass by Stewart to Reed in OT. Mullins, Reed and AK all did their part. Great victory.

 

[noelle]

feels like a huge turning point. this is the silas game.

 

[JCisthegoat]

Missed the game. Was the D bad? They were 14/24 from 3. Thank goodness we kept pace

 

[JakeTheDog]

The type of win to pay dividends in March. Pretty much zero bench production outside of Jaylin but the boys did enough to get it done. Shout out to Braylon and also Silas.

 

[JCisthegoat]

feels like a huge turning point. this is the silas game.

Hey it took newton a little to breakout, why can’t the same be said for Silas

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Curious to hear comments on Ross after the game. I’m assuming minutes restriction? With our struggles on D, felt like he would have gotten more run if available, especially against Jones.

 

[FriarJ]

Congrats

 

[navery12]

I don't say this as an anti Solo Ball post, but he was -19 tonight. It took some guts for Dan Hurley to keep our best player this year on the bench for the last 8-9 minutes

 

[TheShot1990]

Braylon Mullins is the best 7th grader in the entire country

7th grade sniper

 

[huskiesNhoos]

The true MVP was me...realized during the 2nd half the game was on peacock so I turned it on when we cut it to ~5 then w just over 3min to go they went up 11 and I decided I was bad luck so I turned it off and went back to following the game cast. Cue the comeback

 

[Mr. French]

Oh. And Providence had just as good a chance as anyone to win tonight.

Chin with the new avatar, me likey!

 

[BGesus4]

has there been any word on what was the deal with solo not playing at the end of the game?

 

[Umami Zen]

Another wacky game in Providence. Credit to Friars for grinding it out. Demary playing like an All-American.. Braylon playing like a lotto pick. AK being clutch. Tarris steady. Great team win -Never gave up.

Championship DNA. Next
