UConn played a pretty good game but far from its best. The 3 pt % certainly helped but we also turned the ball over a gazillion times and the whistle was definitely Fruit-friendly for the majority of the game. I think they scored half of their 1H points from the charity stripe. Probably the only reason the game was as close as it was to be honest.

We have to clean up some of the mistakes that allowed them to hang around in the game and if we can do that, we could be better than what we thought this year. I loved seeing the old UConn grit again.

I don't [I]think[/I] that this team is a vintage championship Connecticut basketball team...yet. But it definitely expedited the rebuilding curve going forward. UConn teams - the elite UConn teams - all got tougher, faster, better as the season progresses. If this is our November baseline, then that bodes really well for our late season push. Because at UConn, that's what really matters - how we finish seasons...not how we start them.
