Thank you Polley

[firstnline]

Came up big in crunch time.

 

[BugsyCT]

Yup. Looked like it had slipped away yet again but his 3 ball kept us alive.

 

[navery12]

That play was the only chance we had to win the game, can't expect Nova to keep missing FTs. And it worked. Big time

 

[UCfor3]

Should have been in on offense two minutes earlier with an offense defense switch with AJax or Whaley. Kimani woke up finally and it paid off.

 

[Hi-Low]

Polley isn't Ray but that shot was Ray-like for the situation.

 

[Palatine]

Play of the game. We don't win without it.

I was thinking about starting a thread for all the Polley haters to eat crow. But the "thank you" is much classier.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

A big thank you to the refs because that was a foul and not a tie up.

 

[Hugo]

In games close in the final couple of minutes, you absolutely need Polley on the floor. Great game and happy for him.

 

[Dove]

Polley gotta basket!!!

 

[CardiacAndre7]

We need him to be big down the stretch. He was tonight. 10 ppg from him ROS would be huge.

 

[GotNets?]

A big thank you to the refs because that was a foul and not a tie up.

Agree to disagree. It looked like a tie up up front.

 

[AdamaNation]

Yup. Looked like it had slipped away yet again but his 3 ball kept us alive.

Even if we lost it was our best looking game of the year and we were here all night. We learned to play with emotion tonight at the freakin hollow halls of XL!!! So much to take away. The assistants worked like a swarm of bees and if looked like gravity alone shook Kimani to run it out. Thought him was gonna take the reins but so good to see Luke run offensive plays and Tim the d with young sitting back. We have an ELITE staff. I’m feeling Calhoun spoke to Danny about trusting them. Head coaches are as much managers as they are delegators.

It was a travel

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Agree to disagree. It looked like a tie up up front.

Cole literally put his arm over his neck to grab the ball but whatever. We won and that’s all that matters.

 

[RayRay19]

Can't believe that unraveled like that. Polley 3, jump ball, Cole Layup, Nova charge...man is it good to play in meaningful games again with a crowd.

 

[aburks41]

HUGE BALLS ON POLLEY.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Polley is a shooter, a pure shooter. He’s been more erratic this year than you’d expect, but he and Hawkins have the best stroke on the tread. Martin and Cole are solid too, and Whaley has his moments.

But yes, that three by Polley brought us back from the dead.

 

[Austin316]

Nova fans: “… then along came Polley”

BAAAAAAANGGGG

 

[Jaydumo20]

You aren't a true Uconn fan if you don't have a giant place reserved for Polley and Whaley.

 

[tentoes4rings]

When Polley is on we can play with anyone in the country. Beat Auburn when he was on fire, Nova tonight. Just need more consistency out of him but he was sure huge tonight.

 

[mauconnfan]

Came up big in crunch time.

HUGE

 

[gsmooth]

Most clutch shot he hit in a UConn uniform, IMO. Hopefully it has a snowball effect and he hits more clutch shots. I don’t mean just at the end of close games, but shots that break up a scoring spurt by the other team or shots that can build a big back breaking lead

 

[metsfan2323]

Polley heating up at the right time. We are hard to beat when he his hitting threes. Martin's three's were huge too.

 

[Shamon30]

A big thank you to the refs because that was a foul and not a tie up.

Not now.

 

[Jumpman62114]

Amazing shot. Eerily similar to the dribble hand off Marcus Williams and Rashad Anderson ran against Washington to send that game to OT in the 06 tourney.

 

[HooperScooper]

2nd good game in a row. 3-6 from three. 9 points off the bench. I will take that every game from him. Wish that little scoop shot went in.

 

[OkaForPrez]

A big thank you to the refs because that was a foul and not a tie up.

You are the. worst.

 

[tcf15]

Anyone else notice that the shot he made last night was almost from the same spot as the one he missed in the Creighton BET game last season?

This has gotta be huge for his confidence as they enter the homestretch.

despite the less-than-stellar percentages, he has been really clutch for us this season. in addition to last night, he hit the game-tying three against auburn and a late three against providence that could have turned the tide in that game.

the three against providence. for as bad as we played in this game, we had a chance to tie or take the lead after this shot.
