Pummel the Pirates Game Thread

[Huskymagic]

Ollie better have the guys in man to man defense.

Let's go Jalen and Terry

 

[JellyBean]

I just hope that we come out ready and focused. Bring some level of intensity. Let's go, Huskies!!

 

[Kemba429]

Maybe this will be the game we see some sort of crazy Kwintin Williams dunk

 

[LIuconn]

Can we get rid of the jock jams pre game music?

 

[CTBballfan243]

Let’s go UConn. This a big conference matchup. We got this UConn. Beat ECU.

 

[UConnDan97]

This win will start the big conference run...

 

[BugsyCT]

Decent start out of the gate.

 

[LIuconn]

ECU is terrible

 

[CTBballfan243]

I like our energy to start this game. Now just keep it up for 40. This is a big AAC matchup for us. Need to beat teams we’re looking up at in the conference.

 

[HungryHuskies]

Don't think Ollie has sat down yet, which is good

 

[BugsyCT]

Baby steps.

 

[UConnDan97]

The freshman and starting to grow up. A lot to like about Whaley, Williams, and Carlton...

 

[Huskymagic]

Kwin is a man, good rebounder and solid on rotations.

Antwoine is shook, dude has lost confidence.

Team and rotations look better. Ollie has been reading the boneyard.

 

[Kemba429]

How did ECU get to 7-7?

 

[UConnJim]

when was the last time UConn had a 10 point lead?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Nice to start well for a change. Playing all zone, and the kids execute it a little better.

 

[UConnDan97]

Williams is bringing a ton of energy. Future is bright with him...

 

[CTBballfan243]

Yes, I think they are starting to pickup the offens and defense. We’re getting better game by game.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

At least you can see the subtle improvement with this team.

Adams just needs to not force things and we have to guard the 3.

 

[jbdphi]

Kwintin has great energy and is active but he should not be shooting the ball unless it is downwards with both hands on the ball.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Lol@ Kwintin going for the jam every time he gets the ball in the paint even if there are 3 people on him.

 

[UConnDan97]

At least you can see the subtle improvement with this team.

Adams just needs to not force things and we have to guard the 3.

But Adams is clearly leading the team now. That's extremely important for us, and the improvement in our team play shows...

Ha, it seems like he has. Finally commiting to Whaley, Carlton, Diarra and Kwintin. Kwintin has an NBA body and athleticism, great to see him get his chance. ECU is horrendous.

 

[HungryHuskies]

Man, Kwintin does look clueless out there, but he makes it work. I like him out there and I don't know why

 

[UConnStats]

Our young bigs once again removing themselves from the game by fouling. Frustrating.

 

[HungryHuskies]

Anyone notice it's the 2nd half on the scoreboard?

 

[BugsyCT]

How did ECU get to 7-7?

Coppin St, UNC-Wilmington, Campbell, Cleveland St, Delaware St, Grambling St, and USF.

They lost to CCSU. At home by 11. And Radford. And NC A&T.

As bad as we've been, if we don't curbstomp them today, it'll be . . . . . . . like any other day on the Yard this season.

 

[k-walk]

Ollie loves killing momentum with subs

 

[upstater]

Bad basketball IQ a minute ago when their PG picked up his dribble deep in the backcourt. No one ran up to guard his outlet. They had them pinned.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I really think this team would be good with a healthy Alterique. His abilities just change the dynamic of the team completely.
Plus that means less Anderson and would free up Adams immensely.
