Stetson Post Game Thread

Didn’t like the quality of play in the second half but it is what it is. 5 more.

We outscored them in the second half despite being up a million and playing our young guys for like 35%.

What is wrong with people? It was 46-10 at 3:20 in the first half.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Is he really that bad on D such that he never sees real quality time?

I liked how the announcers repeatedly called him Room-a-glue. I think that's the issue, until now Apostolos was trapped in such a room that made it difficult for him to get to practice.

 

[Rondogg]

Nicely done. Onto Northwestern. UConn contingent has to be super loud and intimidating for next game. Force refs to give UConn every 50-50 call

 

[Rondogg]

Agreed on being loud, the few times Stetsun went on a run the crowd got real loud. EVERYONE not a UConn fan is rooting for the underdog.

 

[TheHorde]

Hurley out of round 1, lol

Still hasn’t won a close game in the tournament though.

 

[InTheMix4#6]

I’ve watched most of the games so far and UConn is on another level. Their bad stretches are better than most teams good stretches. I was still nervous up 30 in the 2nd half but that’s my nature.

Was Newton a bit amped up early? Two or three 3-pointers off the backboard.

Felt like lob to Clingan for dunk was a statement. After Stetson big man got the goaltending call it seemed like he was talking smack to Clingan. I could have read it wrong but it was nice to see Clingan dunk with some energy.

Karaban started strong but lost his stroke, not sure if before or after the nose shot.

Stewart is giving us much needed quality minutes.

I don't know how he does in practice, but in games, it looks like he belongs. He has a calm demeanor for a "clean up" player. Does not come in hunting for shots or plays. Let's the game, which at that point is out of reach, come to him.

Agree! He's big and loose. That was a great finish he had.

Do you? They played like garbage

The first time I was never nervous during a tournament game.

They made a comment about how the balls feel different. Maybe he was overcompensating

Yale 46-Auburn 452nd half 15:37

Doooooomed!

 

[Hunt for 7]

Great day for UConn. My 15 yr old sons first live UConn game. We had pretty good tickets right next to the tunnel. After the game my son asked Tristen for his game towel. Tristen looked at him smiled and took it off from around his neck and gave it to my son. Has his number 2 taped on it. Best day a father could have. Go UConn.

Tell Hurley that

You want us to tell Hurley that you are delusional. Do you think he would care?

 

[Bomber36]

At the halftime interview, Hurley was pissed at the team for the way they played the last 2 minutes of that half. Can't imagine what he will say about their performance in the 2nd half.

Bottom line survive and advance, but most of that 2nd half was not pretty basketball on our part. Great first half tho! On to Northwestern!!

Still increased the final margin. We weren’t holding them to 19 or less in both halves. It always gets sloppy when you think you can have your way with a team. 19+33=52. That’s pretty darn good defensively.

 

[Bomber36]

Play like that against a good team, they will lose.
Awful basketball

You have zero hoops knowledge. It should be a hanging offense. Judge?

The refs were horrible today. The reason the second half looked bad is the refs just mucked up the game. On one of his lob dunks Clingan was absolutely hammered made the basket no whistle. He looked at the ref and smiled I think he said come on and the ref shrugged his shoulders. Northwestern has a big group in town. If you are local we really need to represent. About to go to Dook game it will be interesting to see how that one sounds.

Go back to your own board.

Roumoglou scored as much as 2 Stetson starters....brah.

 

[NJHusky]

Gotta love Rutgers fans claiming Spencer as their own. LOL

He played more games in a UConn jersey than Rutgers.

It's not the first time this season, but it really bothers me when Castle plays 25 seconds of great man defense, and the refs totally job him.

This will be a mirror matchup vs. NW...good shooting team with a player that can go off. Castle understands the assignment. We do have to exploit our rebounding advantage better than we did today though.

No mojo in that neck

 

[UCann]

We crushed our fist opponent in a realistic title defense run at arguably the high point of our program, game full of great performances and all we have is a 3 page post game thread with half the comments negative?

 

[Iluvsuebird]

Score doesn’t mean a thing. They played terrible. They were being outscored in second half till the 10 minute mark against severely undermanned team.
Hurley was right. Not championship ball

This is the most imbecilic take of all time. Score doesn’t mean a thing???? I have no words
