Too much confidence with Creighton next?

[connVA]

Cole on Zeg, Jackson and Martin draw straws for Mahoney & Jefferson, Whaley on Bishop. Bouknight can deal with Ballock the one-trick pony.

Crazy stat of the day- Ballock is 41% from three and 47% from the foul line. Wow.

If UConn stops their 3 pt shooting they should win tonight
Getting Mahoney and Jefferson in foul trouble will help because they both tend to commit mindless fouls
Despite what some on the BY say, Zegarowski is not easy to guard - not sure if Gaff can handle it while he is in and Zeg will tire Bouk and Cole out which will not be good for their offense - Martin needs to be on Jefferson
Would love to see some zone thrown at them for a while.
Let's go UConn

Seeing how the Huskies lost to Creighton twice already this season I don't know how they could be over confident, as the OP posted in his title. Right now I think they're in a good place with revenge on their minds. !!!

I think Cole is going to be big tonight. I'm sure he wants revenge for that 1st game.

I expect him to play well tonight, but imo he has already more than made up for that.

Run them off the 3 point line, and use our size to control the boards. If we do those things, we'll have a great chance tonight.

Hope that this especially is so.
Draw dumb fouls;don't commit them.

I’m not worried at all about Zegarowski because I never worry about the guy Cole is guarding.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I expect him to play well tonight, but imo he has already more than made up for that.

And, by the numbers he's a 76+% free throw shooter, trending upward.

Relatedly, second half team FT shooting has been outstanding for the past few games.

Creighton does seem to run a fair amount of pick and roll. If they can exploit the high hedge as Villanova did, might be a problem.

This was my first thought! Am I gonna die?

I want a Uconn Gtown final so we can beat Patrick in his building ?

You mean Madison Square Gordon?

If Sideshow Bob and Moses Malone (circa his glasses phase) had a baby...

Madison SG is his building. This comment was based on the recent situation he delt with and stated that this was his building and his name is in the rafters

Puzzled look. But we don't want any to clown us

We have to kill them on the boards. If we don't (like the Nova game), we will be in trouble.

Wow this has Whaley as the most impactful player in the conference by a WIDE margin.

 

[connVA]

One-third CPOY Mamu doesn't crack the Top 20 in the conference?
