Providence Post Game Thread

[storrsroars]

You have to beat UConn. Because this team will not quit. Donnie nailed it when he said Providence had to keep pouring it and not try to hang on. They tried. But it wasn't enough.

Three TOs in final 160 seconds does tend to limit possessions.

I'm not writing him off - I'm fully understanding of what he brings to the team and his limitations, limitations I've noticed with him for awhile. With Mullins absorbing a lot of the "shooter" role, and him being such a liability in other phases, I can see him checking down a bit on PT. We don't need two flame throwers out there, especially if Silas & AK are hitting. We need guys that can play defense.

Having Mullins and Solo together on the floor makes it pick your poison for defenses. They will both get more good looks as the season goes on because of each other.

Marcus Williams had 2 games with 16 assists

But he missed a wide open breakaway finger roll lay up to win that ND game in ‘05. I remember falling on the floor as a kid when that happened.

I'm fighting the flu for the fourth day now and thought I was hallucinating that Tristan was back and taking over the game.

Silas! Keep ballin boy!!!

 

[huskiesNhoos]

His play where bodies were flying left and right before stew grabbed a loose ball and flipped it to him before shrugging and burying a 3 was chef's kiss

What they get for showing Ryan Gomes on the broadcast

 

[Devland]

Probably the most painful way for PC to lose. Give them hope all game, then snatch it from them.

 

[FearThePups]

Had it all the way. Suck it Provi

Atta boy. What class.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Peacock lagging constantly in crunch time was pretty annoying

I didn’t have any issues.

 

[Giddyup5]

Providence shot 50% from the floor and 58% from 3 with 14 makes. They out rebounded us.

Sure you can our defense was not great in the first half, but Providence played an incredible game.

There are maybe only 2-3 teams in the country that are winning that game tonight.

 

[Umami Zen]

Gonna be a tough film session for Solo tomorrow.

The Silas D Highway 😎

He is a Dog

 

[HCCForever]

I didn’t have any issues.

Likewise. I had no lagging issues on Peacock

 

[Gutter King]

This felt like a three-for-one in the win column with Silas showing out and BM dropping bombs.

I don't know what I have but I've been yawning every 10 seconds since I woke up this morning and my eyes keep watering. My sinuses are a wreck but I could still see Silas well enough to be blown away by his perfomance.

 

[FearThePups]

Still not sure if that was a good or bad performance tonight, I think mostly good with really poor effort at times. But this is a championship team

Maybe this is the start of the killer instinct we were lacking.

 

[Griffman]

I wonder if Donny Marshall played college ball?

 

[FreeDogs]

Phew

Braylon’s breakout. Silas is TNew but better on D.

We were down 13 with eight and half left. Then lockdown D. I love Solo, but his defense was horrible tonight. Kudos to Dan for having the ‘nads to bench him.

This is what Silas is capable of doing. 15 assists from him. Amazing. School record 18 THREES!

Solo has been playing like he is hot snot on a silver platter lately, and I am glad he got taken down a notch by Dam benching him at the end. I know this isn't a popular opinion though...

 

[Mr. French]

It was so much more - bouncing passes off Reibe's feet, not boxing out, so many mistakes all over the place. He's simply a liability outside of hunting shots. Lacks intangibles. I've said it for awhile, but I would not be surprised if his time on the floor shrinks as Mullins settles in and Ross/Stew absorb time at the 3, shifting Mullins to the 2. It was pretty clear tonight who Dan Hurley trusts when it matters.

I like you man, I don't get super angry or anything at your posts, but it is odd...you seem to take everything to the extreme.

I wouldn't be thinking anything major about Solo's playing time or Danny's trust based on 1 game in the middle of the season.

 

[TheShot1990]

Gonna be a tough film session for Solo tomorrow.

And even tougher for the Friars

Cue up the Calhoun rant.

 

[brihman]

One of the best games I’ve ever seen. And shoutout to the UConn fans there. We heard you loud and clear.

I agree and Providence played out of their minds. Really nice to see Floyd playing well and Hurley with the warm embrace at the end. Plus to all the providence students chugging beers throughout. Great atmosphere.

 

[Husky Alien]

Peacock lagging constantly in crunch time was pretty annoying

There were no issues on my end.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

We had some really nice sets to get Braylon, Silas, Solo & Alex wide open for great looks tonight.

Our offense was clicking. Which is what you expect to see against a KP 133 defense.
