Things I Liked Best About Today's Game

With the caveat that Coppin plays zero interior defense and just wants to chuck and duck on O.

Interior passing. Not just Hamilton in the lane with the lobs, but Facey and Brimah looking for each other, passes out of the lane to open wings and oh yeah, the lobs.

Free Throws. Easier to make when there isn't any pressure, but UConn shot them well. Brimah's ability to make 70%+ is huge. It gives him the confidence of taking everything hard to the rim. Score or get fouled. Sometimes both.

Hamilton. He will get more than one triple double before he is done. Still needs to tighten up his handle; he'll get stripped against top competition. But the kid can ball and looks like a natural 3.

Given that the Coppin State played defense like they only had four players on the floor, my best takeaway was the improved foul shooting.

We are going to need that down the stretch.

What I liked best was that Purvis looked aggressive. So did Facey.

Amida's foul shooting. He has a really nice stroke and I'd like to see him step out and hit a couple 15 footers to help stretch the D and open up lanes for our guards to penetrate.

@JohnFSilver: On Brimah's offense, I was at practice on Friday and after Brimah and Terrence Samuel were playing 1-on-1. Brimah hit 3 3-pointers on Samuel

Looks like the free throw shooting drills are starting to kick in.

Hamilton play was so good it angered me. Just because i get mad that he might be a one and done lol
