St. Mary's Post Game Thread

Arkansas’ lack of true bigs is getting me giddy!

They do but they get to the rim better than anyone we’ve played. We can’t hard hedge with Sanogo or leave him to guard the rim

It’s amazing seeing Adama in the postgame. I remember his freshman year clearly struggling with understanding postgame questions and frustrated with the language barrier. Testimate to his work ethic. What a truly amazing experience getting to see the young man grow. Having an all time Huskies NCAA performance, let’s keep it going!

Gotta value the ball.

Gotta close out on shooters.

I wouldn’t want to be Arkansas.

 

[UConnSwag11]

No. Give Dan Hurley credit. I have to see you do it. You doom and gloomed all season. You said if he won games in march you’d give him credit. How dare you tell us to calm down. Kick rocks

Bro, I’ve given him credit. I gave him credit last game lmaooooooo. You’re calling people out after a win. Go get some air and enjoy the win

First team to ever beat two Gaels in one tourney!!!! Historic!!!!!!

 

[superjohn]

Sanogo is the best big man in the country

He is. We might have the second best big man too. Clingan is my player of the game. Great minutes in the first half when we were struggling and then he completely changed the game in the second half. They were getting rim runs and then Clingan shut everything down and we got out and ran and drained shots. St. Mary's was terrified near the basket after that.

That was deeply satisfying.

Also struck me as a bit much to be pressing with 7 seconds left and down 15, but whatever.

 

[firstnline]

And now a whole week of anticipation. I'll take it.

Sanogo is on a mission. The spirit of Kemba, Bazz, Okafor, and El Amin is living through him. Let’s Go!

No you haven’t. You just moved the goal post again for a successful season. You live to be a pessimist. I’m enjoying the win mightily. I’m enjoying you eat crow as well. Good Night lmao

Once again, superb coaching by Hurley in the 2nd half. Wore them out physically and the defense stepped up. Took advantage of our size in the middle on offense and on the boards.

Should be a great game against Arkansas. They are high energy and well-coached. Plus, they have an extra day rest given the Thursday time slot. But, we should prevail and setup an elite, Elite 8 matchup against UCLA I predict!

As Uconn fans , what crime did we commit to have to listen to Antonelli "coach" St marys, as to how to beat Uconn the entire game?

 

[KingAG]

Our bigs have been DONINANT

 

[Magic32]

Surprisingly felt good about game at half after Hurley interview. He summed up the issues well.

 

[jibsey]

St Mary's started the 2nd half driving and getting to the basket at will and then Clingan came in and shut all that down

Overlooked how critical he was. They couldn’t come in on him, before they were driving at will.

Hi @PAHusky

1st Game 1st Thoughts

 

[UConnSwag11]

Can we thank Randy for taking the most important timeout in tournament history? No idea why he would do that

 

[Rocktheworld]

Give Hurley a ton of credit for keeping Joey in in the first half

Hawkins with fresh legs in the second is what pushed us ahead

 

[CL82]

 

[Scoe]

-St Mary’s thought they had us they did not, they got shocked to hell when they saw Sanogo and Clingan

-2nd half Hawkins whatever he takes at the half he needs to take at the start, his shooting during that run pulled us away

That was bush league stuff at the end.

Yeah, I thought Alleyne would’ve gotten more run

 

[UCfor3]

Proud of the boys and the staff. UConn basketball is so fun again.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Sanogo’s interview reminded me of Okwandu’s. Made me smile

 

[businesslawyer]

When do you think they should call out the complainers then? Because the other options are after a loss, which seems dumb, or never (which you must not mean because that would be hypocritical and self important of you).

 

[UConnSwag11]

Proud of the boys and and staff. UConn basketball is so fun again.

When Hawkins is on my goodness does it put pressure on the opposing team. Need a full game

 

[nelsonmuntz]

That game was never in doubt. UConn is just the better team.
