I guess I don't see what everyone else see in Illinois. I think we beat them easily.

This team is insane. I just got back home. What a monster win!!!

LETS GO CONNECTICUT!

I am happy for now.

Castle was an absolute animal tonight. 16/11/2, and made every single shot at the rim. That hit he took at the rim would have killed me. He just tucked his chin and kept playing.

Clingan had a bad first half. We got away from the forced post-up and he looked much better. WAY better on Ledee the second half. Only 3 points and something like 1/6 from the floor.

Cam and Newton did Cam and Newton things. They weren't the stars tonight despite playing really well.

Samson wasn't strong enough in that one stretch of 3 fouls, but he did a nice job otherwise IMO. Not great, but got the job done.

And of course Hassan just refuses to be beaten despite being the smallest guy on the court.

This team is so fun to watch. Win or lose, the passing, skill and hellacious defense are what I love to watch.

Diarra was far from the smallest player tonight.

He looks like he has put on upper body weight during the season. Looks like a football player put there.

And his ability to spin the ball around the rim make layups is uncanny.

Iowa State is gonna win this game..

Ideally, an 8 OT game

 

[uconnfan68]

I would bet 707-717 based on previous east top times and the need to start at non normal times

6:09 was confirmed.

I hope UConn fans dominate the secondary ticket market and some cash changes hands tonight with SDSU fans that bought tickets for Saturday.

Any chance you could float me a loan?

My bad; contradicted myself.
One game at a time!
Go Huskies;
& coach called cam (killa)!
Saturday

Thank you. I think they are too slow for us.

 

[superjohn]

We're ridiculous.

 

[Scottobot]

Very strange to see Karaban go from sizzlin' to drizzlin' on the shooting. Defended well, of course.

Those first 2 3s were huge. San Diego came out on fire, and we could have easily opened the game in a big hole

 

[AdamaNation]

We haven't even had a particularly great shooting game yet.

Well, we're 0-3 on opening taps. Time to be concerned?

I think we were last year too.

Illinois looks like a problem.

Post =/= Handle

We look like a goddam problem

[formerlurker]

It's like this and like that and like this and uh.

Until.... the next episode

 

[GotNets?]

That crowd was terrific and should carry us Saturday night as well.

Yeah how good was the crowd? Was it 60% UConn? We need a big showing on Saturday. I’m driving up from Westchester.
