Silas and Jaylin are Questionable for tomorrow (edit: Silas good to play)

Furman starts 2 6’11 players, one of which plays most of the time on the perimeter offensively. Do you really want Reibe or Reed trying to get around screens chasing their man around at the 3 point line?

Against a 6'11 guy? Absolutely. You ever tried to cover an outside shooter that is 3+ inches taller than you? He will just shoot right over you. You have to play someone long against him.

Have their opponents all matched up with twin bigs or just rolled over?

Furman's only games against an NCAA teams all year were aganst High Point and they lost by 26, Northern Iowa where they got beat badly, and to Troy and they lost there too. Not exactly murderers row.

One big shoots threes at 28%, the other doesn't shoot em.

This is not a team we should lose to.

 

[UCann]

We’ll see some Millender tonight.

I’ll be reasonably surprised if they see one second of game time on the court together. Like every other game this year.

AK is long enough to get a hand in his face.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

AK is long enough to get a hand in his face.

They lost by 20 a few weeks ago to a team starting 6’9 and 6’8 guys in the front court. AK will be fine.

 

[Lafayette]

We need all hands on deck. Duke is a generational team and they had a slight scare today. We need to bring our A game.

They were generational last year too.

 

[Excalibur]

Nothing like an armchair tough guy on an anonymous message board! You’re entitled to your uninformed opinions but that doesn’t make them any less dumb.

I have found that people that act like that on message boards have accomplished the least in life.

 

[Tenspro2002]

We've had plenty of experience with this kind of thing this season. Has any player played when he was "questionable" or a "game time decision"?

Exactly

 

[RuffRuff]

They were generational last year too.

 

[HooperScooper]

Can you put stuff like this in the thread about other games?

Sorry, was responding to the stupid Duke remark, so it sounded relevant.

 

[formerlurker]

Hearing inside scoop no Demary tonight and very questionable Sunday. Just a rumor from someone that knows a someone. Not good

Your guy knows a guy

 

[HooperScooper]

If Demary isn't fully ready to go on Sunday they could be toast against UCLA. That was not fun tonight.

 

[blkknight1]

If Braylon and or Solo don’t find their stroke even with a fully healthy Demary things would be dicey.

 

[RuffRuff]

If Demary isn't fully ready to go on Sunday they could be toast against UCLA. That was not fun tonight.

I got to think he gets out there and they played it safe. Inject that thing if you have to for this one - need him against Dent. He'll have 5 days to rest after it. Let's not make them out to be something they aren't either. Good, nothing special team.

 

[gsmooth]

It won't get dicey. UConn will be flat out done plain and simple.

 

[traitor71]

If Demary isn't fully ready to go on Sunday they could be toast against UCLA. That was not fun tonight.

If Ball and Mullins would have made some damn shots from outside the arc it would have been more fun for sure. All hands really need to be on deck for the next game and can rest after it is over.

 

[BGesus4]

Thank God for Alec Millender. …and, oh yeah, Tarris Reed too

 

[NickDanger]

The OP is correct. Both listed as questionable on the availability report. Who knows what that means though. I have no doubt Demary is playing. Not sure about Stewart.

I guess you should've had doubt

 

[HooperScooper]

Did Tom fall asleep? No post game thread. I tried starting one but the site is on that stupid 30 minute delay.

You know what they say about the NCAA Tournament. Just survive and advance. And barely survived they did.

 

[ucp990411]

Gotta play Reibe and Reed together.

Why?

 

[bendm]

Wow Reed and wow solo for completely different reasons

 

[KingAG]

Taris Reed. Alex Karaban. Thank You.

Yeah they had a horribly shooting night and we still scored 80 points.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Though Ross defense was excellent, especially in the 2nd half.

Tarris didn't have much trouble with the 6'11 guys. Would've had 40 and 30 if they knew how to get him the ball. Unreal all-time UConn performance.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I want that Wilkins kid on our team next year.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Though Ross defense was excellent, especially in the 2nd half.

He seemed to struggle a bit with Wilkins (who was also hitting some wild shots) but really did a nice job of containing House in the second half. Really aggressive fighting over screens and contesting.

And would have had a nice oop if anyone on this team could throw a lob…
