We looked like 5 guys on a Sat morning y game at times . Everyone trying to impress individually but only flashes of cohesion. That performance was not totally unexpected with so many new parts. Diarra was out of control pushing the ball to the basket even into traffic but his quickness and effort were strong. Shooting the three was abysmal, if repeated at Storrs Friday then its cause for concern. You could attribute last night to a strange Hartford environment and first night jitters. Jackson might bring more sanity to the offense. Hawkins injury was a strange as his back hit the floor first hopefully negating the impact some Cligan’s effort more than his skill impressed me. Plus he showed better footwork than I expected. Karaban is raw but obviously can not only shoot but take it to the hoop and pass pretty well. He is only a freshman so guys expecting a finished product will be disappointed Karaban can be a guy that help’s Sanogo. I didn’t see much of Johnson and he was playing the 5 more than the four in the second half. I tried watching on FS1 TV but they were switching games. I watched on the App using my Direct TV sign on . i also watched a little of Creighton and Xavier. That team gave Creighton fits . Joey C’s 20 footer was impressive. [/QUOTE]
