Happy to see the freshmen play well. Games like these matter for their development.

Pride. Heart. UConn.

 

[Scoe]

Enjoyed every minute of it, pure guts.

couldn't watch the game, could anyone give me a short-ish summary if possible?

Gotta give KO credit on getting the team being prepped. Best job all season. Key TO at 2 minutes in 2nd half when it was slipping away was huge.

We won

We got down 10 early then Went on a 16-2'ish run in the middle of the first and never gave up the lead. Led by 4-10 most of the way after that and answered all of their runs.

you missed out, those are the only words that will do that game justice.

Night and day from last night. Hats off to this UConn team tonight, players and coaches!

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Best game we've played all season.
Complete team effort from start to finish against a good team fighting to get in the tournament.

Staright UCONN in march type win. Tournament Ollie showed up today. Hes a completel diff coach in the tourney. It was fun. Vance and CV played huge for freshman. Rofney was AAC tourney Rodney and Jalen=Guts

I think Uconn went on a 26-6 run. That was the game. They held on the rest of the way, which will help the kids out in the long run (learning how to hold on to wins and all of that).

We were down big first half. Made huge run and were up 9 at half, cane out flat and Houston closed to 3, then they gutted it out and pulled away a bit running between 4 -9 point lead until end. Crapped my pants couple of times. All contributed. 54% shooting. Hit boards well. Purvis and Adams were excellent overall. Brimah played great defensively.

Ps Vance excellent too.

 

[Jimdish255]

Great effort. Everybody did something positive tonight. Leadership and guts. Good job by the Seniors not going quietly and Jalen is, of course, a warrior.

Only complaint is the type of call we saw at the 5:14 mark and after that with the shoulder flop into the defender. Hate the move and the call. They need to call fouls on the guy who causes the contact out of control.

This is what happens when your point guard shows up.

How he went from hurt and hobbling to one of his best games all year is beyond me. Maybe he just needs to get mad a lot a db like rob gray.

Luckily Cincy has a leprechaun on the sideline that is wonderful to get angry with. And for good reasons. Remember how he has repeatedly said your 3/4 court shot shouldn't count Jalen? Let him know we won't need to go back to the tape this time around

 

[housekeys]

Only thing missing is MSG

 

[Travelman6]

So does that knock Houston off the bubble? Oh well. Haha.

Now I want to see a UCF/Uconn final. If UCF beats SMU do they get some consideration as the third aac team or no?

 

[Jay-Bone]

Biggest part of the game was when we stopped their run coming out of the half and kept the lead. We didn't let up one of those patented mega runs. Huge! Jalen made a couple clutch plays.

Did he actually say that? What a tool. It so clearly did.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Jackson is trending along a Rashad Anderson persona.

Ice in his veins shooting 3's. You wouldn't know the difference between a warm up 3 and a shot for a million dollars.

 

[dennismenace]

Catch the replay if it gets posted. Great game. Good contributions by a lot of Uconn players. Brimah had some good defensive plays down the stretch denying the rim. Like a totally different team.
