That Sequence

[Chin Diesel]

Yes, the one you are thinking about.

Jackson closes out on a shooter and gets a tipped shot, Sanogo grabs ball, passes out to Joe C, one dribble and pass ahead to Hawkins for catch and shoot 3.

And what? About 5 seconds total??

That is the play us fans are hoping to see again regularly.

And so good. Especially the Sanogo grab, turn and outlet in one motion to Joey C.

And the back to back steals by Jackson leading to a Hawk 3* and a Hawk dunk.

The Hawk 3 was sealed with Jackson pass to Karaban who held the ball for about 1/4 of a second before the perfect pass to Hawk on the corner.

*full acknowledgment of Hawk missing FT on possible 4-point play.

Jackson’s intensity alone changed the trajectory of the game

We’re going to be really really good. The pieces fit so well this year and it’s beautiful to watch.

Hawkins has a quick release.

Jackson has played a phenomenal game for a guy with 0 points so far. I'm not sure I've seen someone play such a good game without scoring a point at UConn (maybe Ricky?)

That was ... satisfying

Best passing team we've had in an incredibly long time. That's fun basketball to watch and it's winning basketball.

This was the first game where I saw us being just relentless. Wave after wave of quality play, nearly 10 players deep.

To piggy back, Karaban had all right to take that 3; but he whipped it to Hawk instead. These guys are intent on team ball.

Wow ! the best 15 minutes of UConn basketball in years
more reminiscent of some 1990‘s teams in D .
Not half court team D but pressure all over .
That team was feeling pretty good about themselves and after the sequence they were down double figures , it broke their confidence and the game was history .
Jackson ability to dominate a game without scoring is amazing .
iF we get anyone of Alleyne, Darria , or Newton to start hitting three Sanogo is going to have a lot of fun. We have three excellent passers in Jackson , Newton , and Karaban .
we must of had 20 assists ( a guess ) thats good to see.
Clingan has to get a little stronger and he will be a beast .but typically 20-21 year olds naturally get strong than 18 year olds .

53% shooting with 20 assists.
Great ball movement and passing leads to good looks and high percentage shots.

It is reminiscent of the mid-90's teams and the 2004 championship team.

With the world cup starting this weekend, comparing UConn to the Brazilian's beautiful game seems apropos.

He almost seemed irritated he had to shoot that floater to score a point.

I'm looking forward to a barnburner of a highlight video. The game was loaded!

Awesome sequence! Andre Jackson is incredible.

Six seconds from the UNCW player releasing his shot (1:29) until Hawkins released his (1:23).

They also look as though they really enjoy playing with each other... It appears to be good chemistry....
