Providence Post Game Thread

[HooperScooper]

When Hurley was saying Kim English is an excellent coach do you think under the table he was crossing his toes, legs and fingers?

 

[AllHusky]

I wonder if Donny Marshall played college ball?

Turned off sound, couldn’t stand it

 

[uconn_jack]

i don't get it. he's fine enough. there are far worse on the worldwide leader...

He just talks way too much. I know its is his job, but it sometimes seems he's doing it just to hear himself talk.

The Providence own-strip steal was something

 

[ec33]

Really was starting to feel as though that was going to cost them the game

The number of foul calls that went UConn's way swung dramatically after that. You could credit the T with winning the game.

It’s your internet because mine never lagged.

Who do you have, and what speed? Just curious. I noticed chat was ahead of my game.

I don’t think I’ve seen anybody mention this yet, but I think Tarris was definitely out of bounds when he grabbed that. His right foot was out …

 

[T-Squared]

I’m just so happy.

The two Providence freshman are impressive. Both are so good. The guards are quick and can hit open threes. They do play too fast and make bad decisions but that’s on the coach. They have a center who is top 10 in block shots in the country.

If they had a better coach they wouldn’t have 7 losses.

A bunch of new players just getting used to each other. Surprised we didn’t see more Vaacks. And never want to see Powell again. He never shot that well in warmups.

I have BreezeLine and the highest speed, but often basketball games lag on cable for me, including tonight while watching the Spurs. It doesn’t seem to lag when the games are on Peacock though. I’m not sure why cable lags and peacock doesn’t.

Two things

Ross is really important to this team

Was thinking wow, if PC hangs on, that’s 2 big wins in a row. They’ll be in the mix! Almost felt bad for them….not!

100%

Was thinking he was exactly who we needed to be able to get more minutes from to stem the tide a bit when we could score relatively easily but could get 0 stops.

Why did Hurley get T’d up at the beginning of the second half?

Crazy thought, maybe the 1st half foul differential inexplicably influenced half time complements of the refs. /s

Not sure why so many of y’all dislike Donny. I prefer him over most other color commentators that do our games. It’s always cool when Stewart plays well when Donny is commentating.

I think fouls tend to even out but the T definitely helped to ensure they would even out. You could see a T was coming from a mile away while watching the first half.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

I’m just so happy.

Losing to Providence and dropping to 11th in the polls woulda been depressing.

Caught two breaks on that play.

 

[Viet Vet]

Walking off the court at end of first half he was chirping at the ref on the way to the tunnel. Have never seen a T called like that before but refs are gonna bust Danny's onions whenever they get the chance. Foul shots to start the second half/possession.

Every T he gets he deserves, including the ones he wants.

 

[444JR]

Corey Floyd Jr. thought he could hit the game winner. He could not.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

The best lineup for the occasion ended the game, which is self-evident in the result, but I just gotta defend Solo because was a big part of our life support in the first half. And he actually started the game hot on defense too.

I think some here are making too much of Ball sitting down the stretch of this game.

It wasn't a message, it was merely the fact that the situation dictated a choice between Solo and Braylon and Braylon was too hot to take out of the game. If we hadn't dug such a big hole up to the last eight plus minutes of regulation we would have had a more standard rotation.

 

[cp176]

Saw it last night. Mullins is the real deal. More minutes, more touches, more shots, more involvement on both ends of the floor. His defense was not bad. Keeps his man in front of him for the most part. it was very exciting to see. I was glad Danny just kind of left him in there. He is a difference maker. And yes, if he continues to get the big minutes, I will thoroughly enjoy his one year stay here.

 

[Umami Zen]

I agree with you-Was responding to poster's question as to when the T was called. IIRC-and I could be wrong.-Wasn't this Hurley's first T of the season?

 

[dennismenace]

This was clearly an outlier game for him. His D has been much better this year and he’s been an offensive weapon. I know it’s what we do but no reason to overreact to this game.

Could also be that putting in Jaylin as a defender who is significantly taller and better defender than Ball (6-3) was a strategy against some of the PC players who were taller and driving to the basket almost at will. (Vaaks 6-7 , Mela 6-7, Powell 6-8 Jones 6-5).

 

[brihman]

Says I’m going to get into it about the refs, proceeds to give the full play-by-play. I love it.

 

[brihman]

I kind of stopped listening after a while, Donny and Fanta are a tough combination.

I agree. I like Fanta tho. That was funny when he had to correct himself and remind everyone that Donny is a vegan.
