Tyrese Martin Appreciation Thread Volume 16

[UCLJ0211]

What a tale of two halves. One of the best halves I’ve seen by a UConn player ever. Literally carried the team on his back in the 2nd half.

 

[elmcityboy]

i was cackling watching his last two possessions. ridiculous performance.

he basically outscored butler on his own in the second half.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

One of those times where everything just goes in, no matter how tough the shot. Went unconscious.

Two points in the first half, 25 points in the second half. Fun to watch.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

That was like Kadary Richmond against us a few weeks ago. The man couldn't miss.

What a tale of two halves. One of the best halves I’ve seen by a UConn player ever. Literally carried the team on his back in the 2nd half.

And the degree of difficulty on some of those shots was absolutely insane. Literally looked like a completely different player - with different body language - in the second half.

Truly. He went from borderline unplayable to absolutely dominating. I don’t know what Hurley said to him at halftime but I want to bottle it.

Love that guy. It was tough watching him struggle the last game and a half or whatever. It looked like he was losing some confidence in the 1H today. But then he made that 3 to start the 2nd half, got on the offensive boards, and then you could see him GAIN confidence. His shooting stroke looks really good. Taking his time and really keeping composure on his 3's.

 

[Huskybass]

Tyrese is a bad mofo. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. He can carry a team, we have seen it a number of times.

 

[3rdbass]

When Martin's outside shot is falling it just opens up his drives big time. Great game and congrats on a career high Tyrese Martin!

 

[SteelCT]

Multiple heat checks…wonder what Hurley said at half time lol

 

[UncleSpliff]

We’re a completely different team when he hits 3s with regularity. Let’s hope he continues this great play!

They scored 28, he scored 25.

Basically, as bad as he was in the 1st half he was that good in the 2nd half. Unreal.

 

[CTBasketball]

Guys gritty and brings so much energy.

 

[Dean Wormer]

Slump busted!

 

[McLovin]

100%. Can’t remember the last time a UConn player got that hot down the stretch of a road game. Probably Bazz at some point in 2013 or 2014.

 

[Bomber36]

Depending on what kind of fan you are, this applies to Tyrese and every member of this years team.

 

[Palatine]

Unbelievable, absurd, surreal, pick an adjective, they all apply. It was like Martin was alone on the court. What a freakin' night for the guy. It reminded me of DePaul where he took over the end of a game but this was another level completely.

 

[navery12]

I blame/credit my dad. Texted me at halftime that Martin has really disappeared lately and he was going to bed, guess Tyrese found out

 

[TheChamps990411]

Tyrese is a bad mofo. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. He can carry a team, we have seen it a number of times.

Agreed. He can easily put up 15/7 night in and night out. He just needs to be consistent and most imporantly stay healthy. Its difficult because he plays hard so injury is bound to happen. I hope hes out of his funk as he hasnt been the same guy since he came back from his wrist issue. Hope this is the Tmart we see going forward. Obviously i dont expect 27 a night but consistent 15+ really opens things up for this team.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Him and Whaley are so important as connective pieces in our lineup.

 

[UncleSpliff]

100%. Can’t remember the last time a UConn player got that hot down the stretch of a road game. Probably Bazz at some point in 2013 or 2014.

Prob Polleys game at Marquette last year. Think he had 24 points mostly in the 2nd half.

 

[jayteeman]

Adama had 30 against Auburn but this 2nd half had that special glow of everything going in....unforgetable
