This team is loaded

[superjohn]

I watch a lot of basketball and have seen most of the highly ranked teams. I haven't seen a team as athletic and deep as us. This could be a special year.

Hawkins looked like the best athlete on the court (quick, fluid, fast, leaper), is reportedly a knockdown shooter off movement, and I'm not sure he can crack the starting lineup.

 

[Zionn]

not only that......Nasty. Nice to see us have some swagger back.

 

[aburks41]

I’ve been trying to tell people that for months and the doubters kept not believing me. This team is unbelievable and I’m about to put down my next paycheck on our futures to win the title. We are so damn good

 

[navery12]

We're good. Very good.

Andrew Hurley pushing away the LIU dude when he tried to apologize was the capper. Like a mob movie scene.

This is the most together team we have seen at UConn in a very long time. I love seeing Akok block a shot, run down the floor and can be seen celebrating as Andre slams it down. This team is family, and not in cliche way teams always talk about being a family. This is a cohesive unit and they are fun to watch.

 

[calamity17]

Nice to just beat the piss outta teams again.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Defensively in the second half it was wave after wave of athleticism on defense and a track meet to the UConn rim in transition.

Looks like the guards finally learned how to throw the lob for the alley oop.

When Martin stared down that ref. Lol.

Sophia Urista approves of this post.

The cohesiveness on the court is truly impressive, you can tell that we are a team that has been together a couple years. We are really, really good

Yes maybe since 10'-11'

All im going to say is ya better beat us now because we are going to be a problem later. This team is extremely talented but that talent is not playing at the level its capable of. As ive said and ill say again this team is going to be a much better team by Feb than we are now. We`ll see the room for growth when we have our struggles when competition gets tougher but they work through the struggles and on the other side will be a nightmare for the rest of the country. This team will be scary. I predicted at least 25 wins and theyre making me look good.

We have waves of players with skills to tire other teams out. Let's see how it translates to good opponents.

my two main concerns preventing me from doing the same:
1. Where does reliable offense come from if Sanogo gets into foul trouble?
2. Can Cole create offense for himself & others when matched up against a more athletic/high major defense?

 

[Umami Zen]

Stay healthy and stay focused.. All we need to do for a deep Tournament run

Along with defensive adjustments, those constant fresh legs wore down Kante big time in the second half.

 

[Austin316]

We are so strong, brothers.

I think having Hawkins in the mix is going to go a long way towards answering those questions.

He just has a "look" about him. He's different.

 

[UCfor3]

We are good. While we will get better as the year goes on, we are about to find out next week just how good we are right now. I want to see how we play when facing adversity against a good opponent. I want to see how we react when we fall behind and need offense. Auburn game should ge a great test. Can't wait(Bart Scott voice).

 

[UConnSwag11]

Auburn will be the test to see how good we really are this early in the season. Would be great to go into that game 4-0

Hurley was successful at every level. He knew with the pedigree and resources at UConn, he could recruit elite athletes to bring us all the way back. It was the perfect hire and this is just the beginning of great things to come.
