THe Official Make a Spartan Start Shartin' Game Thread

[Towney007]

Potential sure but any good frontcourt can expose us. Carlton has good fundamentals but is weak physically at this stage. Sierra, Williams, and Whaley just aren't ready right now. Cobb would have helped for sure tonight. Larrier is on fire all of a sudden .

Uh absolutely. That’s gonna be the book on us all year and we’ll go as far as finding a shooter and how the bigs develop.

On the half full side - I feel like if we can recruit a shooter and some size we can be good. Which is a nice change of pace from last year which was “find guys who can basically play basketball.”

It’s not UConn standards yet but for the first time in forever there’s a road map there with a freaking fun team that can outplay it’s ability. Again the major step one - we’re there. We can take step two this year. I’m buying like crazy on this team.

I can't hate, I remember the days when we had that kind of talent and Athletes. Our starting was like 6"11, 6"11, 6"9, 6"5, 6"3. Hope we can dig in and pull this off.

 

[HuskyHoosier]

Izzo coaches defense a lot better than Dana Altman that’s for damn sure

I think lost in this doom and gloom is that we are playing against a top notch defense. Boys holding up alright imo

 

[Scoe]

This pull J's can only last so long ok now thats what we gotta do drive.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Alterique is such a UConn guard

 

[superjohn]

What a shot by Gilbert. Who took the charge???

 

[Tenspro2002]

Because he is a scrawny string bean?????

You're telling me in 3 years in the program he couldn't put on any kind of bulk?

 

[SwingDog]

Need to convert here.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Good idea Adams gotta hit that floater though

 

[August_West]

Need a bucket here

 

[Scoe]

These fans can all S T

 

[Bomber36]

Gilbert is the key.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Can’t afford these empty trips

 

[UConnDan97]

Finally! It's been going on all game...

 

[jdb50]

Michigan fans are good at booing but then again they have been rooting for the Lions.

 

[RayRay34]

Jalen can’t buy one. He needs to find it for us to stay in this

 

[BugsyCT]

Rough night for Jalen.

 

[BlueDogs]

Some critical blown possessions. .

 

[Towney007]

Sick movement. Good in MSU.

 

[SwingDog]

Lots of unforced turnovers tonight have hurt us.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

4 straight empty trips with a chance to cut in and it’s back up to 10

 

[mauconnfan]

Terrible defensive rotation the last 2

 

[Horatio]

We're still in this one

 

[Dove]

Jalen getting on the troops out there! Now at the line and gets 2.

Ughhh down 10...

And then Larrier missing the bunny.

Now down 12.

G'night

 

[UConnDan97]

That's it. Keep going straight to the rim, please...
