I'm convinced we are allergic to holding leads

 

[Stinger92860]

We were up 5 and playing well when Gibbs came back in.

 

[UCOnions]

Our offensive flow is feeling a lot better so far. The offense just seems more fluid

Up 5 again with Gibbs leading the charge now

Are u serious with this post?

Enoch just had his two best defensive possessions of the season. Hedged & recovered on a pick-n-roll then clogged 2 passing lanes with smart reaches on the first. Read the blow-by and drew a charge on the second.

If he starts doing Phil Nolan-type stuff he's going to be so, so good.

 

[BugsyCT]

Gibbs attacking the rim last 2 touches. Nice.

I know. Self imposed posting ban for the rest of the half.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Ridiculous how wide open some of the g town players are

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Enoch will be a real nice 4 year player.

Three year. Dude's gonna be a monster by the time he's a junior.

EDIT: To put this into context, a number of the 2017s we're recruiting are his age. His game is going to grow a ton over the next 18 months.

 

[BugsyCT]

will take just having the lead at the break

 

[UCOnions]

Enoch will be a real nice 4 year player.

I could see him putting up big numbers his Jr and Sr years.

40 to 33 at the half!

 

[BugsyCT]

GTown launches a boatload of 3s. Like every possession.

 

[superjohn]

Offensive flow was way better that half, like what I'm seeing.

 

[Gringo]

Great 1st half. Best of the season in my opinion. Even better than Ohio State.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Feels so right watching Uconn vs the Hoyas. Makes me think: any match-ups against former Big East rivals next season?

Fun game so far and Uconn's depth is on display.

 

[Huskybass]

If we run a little and defend the three well, its a W.

 

[David 76]

Good half! A few sloppy turnovers but pretty solid.

 

[Silk31]

Or maybe you can take credit for lighting a fire under his ass

Enoch -- 4 impact plays in a row.
Started with a great screen to free Gibbs for a drive, then took a charge at the other end. Next Gtown possession, he committed a foul. Then he got fouled on a putback attempt. Only made one of the foul shots, but overall, his best minutes of the season so far. Happy for the kid.

Other than that, the perimeter D and the ball pressure at mid court has been impressive. I like that going forward.

Oh yeah, and our shooters have suddenly found their strokes again!

 

[JSM1970]

Yes, the 2017-18 team will be phenomenal. Next year depends a lot on who stays and freshmen contribution.

I could see him putting up big numbers his Jr and Sr years.

 

[Palatine]

Great move by Ollie going to Enoch to play Hayes.

He completely stopped Hayes offense.

On offense, his pick set up for Gibbs led to two lay ups who blew by Hayes.

That and Adams' improvement. He needs to be able to 1) make shots, and 2) turn the ball over less.

 

[James]

Enoch is ready for Nolan's minutes. Came in made game changing plays like great screens and that offensive foul drawn

 

[mcs333]

Solid first half. 50% fog, 9-11 ft, 5-10 3p. Gibbs, Dan Hurley and RP were excellent.

 

[Palatine]

Nolan played well. With Enoch it's a match up thing.

 

[David 76]

Our guards are penetrating against a zone! Not just out of control.

 

[Dove]

Out of the gate slooooooooooow
