RJ player of game

[superjohn]

They were totally out of sorts and looked dead in the water with their season about to end and he had 14 second half points, he had 6 steals on the game with 7 assists and 0 turnovers. One of the grittier performances from a UConn point guard in a while. Now let's please play a much more complete team game going forward.

By far. I’m not sure we win that game without his effort tonight.

We don’t win at all without rj’s effort tonight he willed the team in the 2nd half

Bouk had a quiet 20 and 10 lol

Cole was great. It was obvious that RJ had a little bit of a tough transition to this level of college basketball, but It seems like he is hitting his stride the last few games or so. That is a good sign, not only for this season, but next season as well since he will be playing a big role on next years team as an experienced Senior and especially without Bouk.

The announcers comparing him to James Harden almost ruined it for me.....good job by RJ

 

[UconnU]

Cole stat line is unbelievable.
17 points
7 assists
5 rebounds
6 steals

Ha, when the announcer brought up the beard my immediate thought was “please don’t do this”

Beard and shooting lefty are about the only similarities there.

Beard and shooting lefty are about the only similarities there.

And he has that ceafitness and hesitation dribble to get by dedenders like Harden. His outside shot looks similar set shot. They weren't ssying he is anywhere the talenr and with the lack of height of course he won't. They are just saying he seems to model his game after Harden. Maybe a mini-harden or Harden light. Lol!!!!

I've been preaching from day one that he was big time. Hes coming into his own.

I usually try not to focus on the broadcasters, but that crew said so many silly or inaccurate things I cringed.

 

[HungryHuskies]

Great to see. I'm assuming he's going to have to be "the guy" next year, so great to see he's capable of putting up games like this.

 

[cohenzone]

Cole was really good. He also has the El Amin ability to get taller defenders moving backward to make room for a short pull up.

Like Donny Marshall being grouped with Ben, Ray and Kemba as great UConn/NBA players? I love Donny but that was FS1 home cooking.

 

[BugsyCT]

Cole took a lot of heat on this board after the FT misses in the first Creighton game. Happy for him that he's stepped it up and hung in there. He was the spark we needed last night to get it going 2nd half.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Dude played a great game. Most impressive thing is that when the star Bouknight was struggling Cole stepped confidently into the breach, said I got this and executed. And in the middle of this he overcame a mini-run by Dante Harris getting to the rim with ease; RJ just kept playing, defending, being aggressive on offense & weathered every storm, making a half dozen big shots and assisting on most of Bouk's buckets. He played like a mashup (mixtape for old school) of Harden & Khalid

 

[imno1]

He was "jimhurley" good last night. Except for his foul plague game against Nova RJ has played really well lately
