Loved the offense today. Good to see Joey C look like himself with the big minutes he got today. Was huge off the bench. Alleyne continues to look how many expected.

Andre another great game in the scoring column without needing to put up 3s to do it and a couple of great strong takes to the rim. Got to love it.

This team really seems like they’re figuring it out at the right time. I hope when Diarra comes back Joey C can still be the PG off the bench and Diarra can play the 2. Joey is so good with the ball in his hands.

Andre did have a timely three late in second half. I counted st least 3 turnovers in 2nd half where UConn tried to throw lazy pass over defender. One by Andre and one by Alex which led to easy bucket throwing the ball in. Can’t let that happen

That was old fashion Big East Win - I’ll take it.

There were lots of posters claiming Joey C was too soft for the Big East - w r o n g

He just needed some more minutes and nice to see Hurley come around!

Now with than being said, I have criticized Jackson but the last 5 games he has been a big factor in our wins - glad to see him turn it around. I’m not longer concerned about too many minutes when he plays like this!

Joey C showed up big time on the big stage. We needed him with Diara being injured. Hope it is not that bad ab strains can take a long time to heal. Hate too see anyone get hurt but the silver lining is getting Joey some confidence before the post season starts. If JH is off we will need Joey C to hit some threes in the post season. Maybe the ankle was limiting JH today but he did get up on a few of those clocks.
 
I love getting revenge. If only we got that one back against Xavier. Aside from St. Johns and Seton Hall, I don't feel that any of the losses were particularly bad losses at this point, though they certainly looked worse at the time.

With 1 minute to play, I was surprised CBS showed BE standings with the game result included.

It was even worse than that. MSU was up 10 with 48 seconds left and LOST

Why can’t we close games out?

I don't know about anybody else, but we went from 15 up to single digits in a minute and a half? Maybe exaggerating a little, but I was getting nervous. Seems like our boys slowed down.

How about going from up 10 with 48 seconds left to a loss in OT because that exactly what happened to Izzo and MSU

You did that just to troll @GameTime for post #62, right? Well-played.
 
Big win. No need to nitpick this one. We got “the revenge tour” and Anaheim “The Dream” Alleyne from the announcers and a win from the Huskies.

The good- Continued reemergence of the bench , strong rebounding, solid play from many, and a great game from Jackson.

If we can tighten up the defense against the dribble drives, convert more bunnies / fast break opportunities, and close the game out better, look out. It’s all business now, do what you must to get the W. No reward for style points this time of year.

Great road win against a scrappy team!

Can these announcers call every UConn game. Sometimes I think I’m too hard on Donny Marshall but then I hear announcers like we had today - nope :)

They were enthusiastic, knowledgeable and really tuned into the game.

I mean, did you really ever have a doubt? Your statement is technically correct, but they didn't cut it to single digits until 28 seconds left which would be a historic level comeback. The game was never in doubt

He absolutely did. His game is different when he’s looking to attack first and then take a confident timely three when the opportunity arises than earlier in the year when he was just settling for threes.

I think he’s had his career high in points since he’s been playing like this. Teams have also stopped sagging off him so much.

Simply here, to get updated when the doom and gloom contingent comes out. We only won by 9. We are doomed.

We had a solid double digit lead with 2 minutes. Another double digit win would of been nice.

True, it wasn't in doubt. But Johnnies were chipping away big time.

St. John’s was just mad all game that they’re not talented enough to hang with us, so they decided to turn it into a football game. Anderson seems to have no programmatic control and recruits a bunch of hot heads. One of the more unlikable teams in the league

They forgot that Andre Jackson is a linebacker, I love Ajax in these kind of games because teams try and get under our skin and ride some momentum all of the Ajax comes out of no where with a block or a steal.

Well that was my point. I was getting nervous. If everyone was else was okay, that's great.

53 free throws in the game. If you take away techs and bad calls, refs kept them within reach. We shoulda won by 30.

Omg, more of “the refs are against us” bs?
 
UCFan1513 said:
That game was a bit painful to watch. St. John’s is as bush league as they come and so unpleasant to play against. Refs tried to whistle everything in the second half to “control” it, but only made things worse. Our offense was awesome, but defense outside of blocks was ugly. Just one of those games you’re happy to win, and happy that someone from the other team didn’t sucker punch a UConn player in the process. Hopefully the last time we play them this season

SJU has a bunch of clowns on their team. Tough to win with a team full of dopey players like that.
