A. Sanogo- 9.0: Please don't get it twisted; he made it look easy thanks to his skill, not just because his opponents were poor. This is proven when comparing his stats to any of our bigs in this same game last year. His defense also looked significantly better. He scored some hooks even when doubled (which btw left Whaley wide open for an easy putback if Sanogo doinked it). "I've seen enough, he's special" -Dan Hurley. I'd say we got a pretty good glimpse of it.
Rj. Cole- 9.0: A real maestro out there. Played a sound, near perfect game. His shot looked fantastic. This kid is zoned in. Interesting dynamic to have our two best players be the PG and Center. Cole will be invaluable to us this season, absolutely irreplaceable. (Can't get a 10.0 vs CCSU, btw)
T. Martin- 9.0: Looked fantastic out there. Very very pleased here. Another year under the right system.
A. Akok- 8.5: Well hello there. Led the team in rebounds and blocks. I think he'll benefit the most from playing these first four cupcake games. It's clear he's the player we're rooting for the hardest. Love this kid, and he loves this team.
A. Jackson- 7.5: Loved the 6 rebounds and 4/5 free throws. The green light looks great on him. His defense also saw a much needed jump. And I could talk about his passing all day; from the simple ones to the no-lookers. He's going to be instrumental in Sanogo's success this year as he finds creative ways to get him the rock down low.
I. Whaley- 7.5: Yes please I'll have another. Seems to have picked up right where he left off. Now let's see that 3ball fly.
T. Polley- 7.5: Loved his iso 3ball. A wonderful role player that this team is lucky to have.
J. Gaffney- 7.0: Did his 3pt shot take another step up? Could prove very important for this team.
R. Diggins- Freshman. He's got the bag though
S. Johnson- Freshman. It's uncanny how much more comfortable these two seemed in open practice vs the bright lights. You figure the same will happen for Jordan Hawkins? Hopefully he gets back sooner than later, these early games are like gold for these young'ins.
R. Springs- Not ready just yet.

Player of The Match- A. Sanogo: When was the last time we saw a big handle himself that way wearing a UConn jersey.
Some notes- The coaches looked hot in their fits. I think the kids call it drip drip; with the best dressed going to Luke Murray imo. I thought our team just looked overall one year better, coaches included. Let's not get too too too excited, but I mean, we're going dancing this year. I thought the commentators were great. I'm a fool for not taking the spread.
Personal note- My apologies for being afk last season with my reports; I was pretty tied up in building a house with my girlfriend during the pandemic. Btw the girlfriend is a solid 7.0: she's a 10.0 in personality but a 3.5 in looks. A real dog in the face.

Over and Out

The team looked to be pulling for each other the whole night. After Diggins had made his first appearance and later came out, the whole lot on the bench including coaches were giving kudos.....when Sampson got his 3rd foul in what seemed to be 2 minutes, during the next timeout I think almost every player in the huddle took time to go over and give him a tap on the back with AJ one arm around his shoulder the whole timeout.
It's just one game, and the feel good games help, but this lot has the look of an unselfish winning attitude.
It surely is quite a mix of different roles with different strengths coming from each of the players .
 
Johnson looked like he was 8’ tall out there.

Was wonderful to see Akok out there, seemed like he wasn’t mentally handicapped by his injury.

Looks like Gaffney will battle Diggins for minutes.

Wish AJ shot those threes more, but he made the extra pass to the open man.

What an electrifying game. Woke up this morning early like a kid on Christmas to watch the game.

Is it Saturday yet!?!?!?!?!

?!?!?!?!?!?
stick to biking.
 
I looked it up, 102-75. Not sure what you're lmao but OK.
Just that it was a much closer game then this one. But yes you got my point. No need to research but if I remember correctly we were also single digits at half.

This is the Boneyard. There is most certainly a need to research: If you are wrong, I can dunk on you and call you a moron!

Sadly, you are correct. UConn led by 7 at halftime.

This might sound crazy but Diggins made an impression on me. Obviously not ready defensively, but he’s got better size than I thought and has great pace and ball skills. Looking forward to seeing him getting his chances running the offense (maybe not this year).

He'll be a key piece going forward
