[HuskyFich]

Dude earned an NBA roster spot tonight.

GO GET PAID TRISTEN!!!

 

[uchusky32]

Best player on the floor tonight. Our best player. Only Castle has a chance to dethrone him.

 

[Dove]

A sick Newton tonight.

He showed up. Thats what big time players do. He showed Clingan and Karaban have a long, long way to go to be "the guy".

 

[BGesus4]

Up to 5th on kenpom poy rankings

 

[GHSWolverines]

He alone kept us in this game. NBA scouts I hope you were watching

 

[I Bleed Blue]

An insane showing from Tristen today. If we won, that would be one of the most legendary game carries in program history. He was feeling it today for sure

 

[Yanksrock615]

Special

 

[Austin316]

Tristen Newton showed why he’s great.

KU’s staff had a game plan for him and he was just unstoppable. One of their assistants coached him when he was at ECU. Didn’t matter.

Pay the man.

 

[kobebeanbryant]

imagine if he took and made the final 3 for the win. would have been legendary.

 

[elmcityboy]

hope someone makes a highlight video of tristen's performance tonight -- it doesn't deserve to be forgotten just because we lost.

that was special.

I think the whole building probably was expecting him to take it. It would have been nice to give him the opportunity to crush some souls tonight though. If AK didn't foul out it, he probably is our shooter there. Either way, Cam has also earned that right to be a hero. I trust any of those three to make a dagger.

 

[The Viking]

No complaints outside of a few missed free throws. He was a beast. I would have taken an off balance three by him over a shot by the crippled Spencer every day of the week.

Yeah too bad it had to go a gimpy Cam(no fault of his). Tristen was the man and has been the best player this year. This just showed how valuable of a player he is to the team. He does everything from leading the team in rebounding to getting assists and showing up when nobody else was scoring and we needed a leader.

 

[superjohn]

Game could've gotten ugly with the bright lights in the first half and we were for sure seeing them. He calmly would ease into every shot to keep the game in reach. Total stud. Wer're in good hands. I keep saying it but I weirdly loved this loss. It was revealing.

These are the type of games that make teams better.

Yup. The final play should have essentially been the play that AK hit the half time buzzer beater vs SDSU on. I do think going for the win and not the tie is 100% the right choice on the road.

Good comeback in a madhouse of a homecourt. Just when you think you seen it all from Newton he puts on an even gutsier performance like this. Leader. This team is going to have to work the free throw drills. It would have been nice to win this at the end but I think it will make them much hungrier.
Get healthy guys!

He loves us against the World road games.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Newton's box scores will get all the highlights, but his highlight play was the post-skirmish rebound late in the second half where he simply out-willed everyone else on the court.

Tristen keeps getting better and better in Year 5.

Again

This was nothing new, we've seen this before, although Bilas talked as if he never saw this from Newton before


And no, I'm not knocking Bilas

[B1GEast]

He's hands down becoming one of my all time favorite Huskies. Whenever they post a build your all-time UConn team this guy has to be in that team.

He's so versatile and he's got the heart of a warrior. Never quits

Last night against Kansas there was nobody better than Newton on both sides of the court.

Man I kept telling my daughter throughout the 2nd half that Newton was going to win it for us the buzzer. If only he launched it himself ...... man. Smh.
