Senior leadership paid off in this one. Unbelievable performance.

It wasn't that long ago that I wouldn't have been surprised if BOTH these guys had transferred. Neither of them were supposed to be this good when they were recruited. Hard work pays off.

Tyler polley had an out of body experience tonight!

 

[UCDaveD]

Tyler polley had an out of body experience tonight!

His ball handling was great too!

 

[LStudfellow]

Was about to start the same thread... because Isaiah Whaley deserves huge credit as well.

So happy for Polley!!!

Do you all realize that was one of the greatest 17 minutes of shooting we have ever seen from a UConn Husky... I mean, ever? Look it up.

Tyler and Isaiah refused to let us lose. Now THAT IS SENIOR LEADERSHIP!!!

GREAT JOB GENTLEMEN

I’m not as excited as I should be. Might be in shock.

Electric performances. That was the most fun I've had watching basketball in a long time.

 

[Ts5034]

That was great. Very Impressive win. Tyler Poller looked like Rashad Anderson out there.

 

[JakeTheDog]

Was really hoping Tyler would make those 2 free throws just so he could out score Marquette in the second half. Great game for Polley and Whaley!

 

[MexicoHusky]

You are going to have lots of thread competition.

 

[CTBasketball]

Teams are afraid of Isaiah Whaley.

 

[HuskyBoi]

Two things told me that we were gonna win. Whaley's three pointer and that moment Polley had the ball in the corner and drove in for the layup. That's how I knew deep in my mind that something good is gonna happen

 

[SaeHusky]

Amazing performance by these 2 seniors. WOW

 

[JellyJalen]

These guys stepped up big time. Akok will only bring more length and depth to the table. Do we know when his return is?

 

[Brochacho]

I hope we go into a third covid pause because they railed every girl on campus after tonight.

 

[Kmart]

Love these guys! Amazing game

Beat me to the Rashad comp. He was unconscious.

Way to go T. Po!
You could tell by his body language he had confidence and actively wanted the ball! I hope we see him more assertive from now on. He's a different player when he looks confident. And Whaley looked great too. Did what he needed too, even a bonus 3. Even Josh had his moments. Seniors stepped up. Bouk was all into it. Even though he didn't score in the 2nd, he kept drawing defenders, so bonus points there! Felt good to see them step up when down 18!

Polley was special, an all-time second half performance. He obviously doesn't need to replicate that but he's too good of a shooter to have disappearing acts going forward. He is healthy again and is a total weapon with that shot. That shot is can open up his game which he showed tonight with the coast to coast and 1, and the two pump fake baseline drives. His threes weren't just catch and shoot either, he put it on the deck and drained threes 2 or 3 times. He's too talented to have disappearing acts going forward and he's so key to opening up our offense. Way to go Tyler!

Whaley's energy also completely changed the game, he's our emotional leader.

Great minds think alike.
