UConn -8 vs Butler

Playing back to back is weird but I feel like this is good for Hawkins. He just put up points against this same team and knows he can do it again. Hoping for a big game from him so he can become a fixture. I still feel like him fully arriving is how this team gets to the next level.
 
Going to be watching Martin tonight. His subpar play has become a little bit of a trend post injury. Seems to be dribbling a little gingerly, not as sure of himself, with the wrist. Could be inline for a bounce back game though.

I think it works slightly against the better team. It’s like seeing a pitcher for the second time .

For the team as a whole, I agree and that's what makes me nervous about the game. For Jordan, confidence seemed to be what was missing, and I'm hoping he just picks up where he left off.

Big East road games are always tough. Xavier last night almost lost to a last place DePaul team missing Freeman-Liberty. I expect this one to be closer than the last.

Xavier is a really bad road team.. has been for quite some time. Every March they start the discussion of… but can they get a big win outside of Cintas.
Also the disrespect on DePaul lmao… they’ve played everyone besides Providence tight, they play hard, I believe the wins will come. This isn’t the DePaul from last year.

Why would we switch the defensive game plan??? We had such a good defensive showing

We switched mid game the other day and AJ shut him down.

Yeah, after that post I had to look up the Big East standings and couldn't believe that DePaul is 1-6. Every time I've seen them on TV this year they've played really well.
 
anything can happen on the road, but it should be an easy ride until wells fargo.
and nova is average this yr
 
I believe Hawkins and Polley will continue the recent trend of strong bench production tonight. Dare I say 24-28 points between them if they both get solid minutes.
 
I’m just betting the under this time around. Feels like this could be a close low scoring game like 60-55 UConn or something. I don’t like the fact that they just saw us. Late night road games scare me.

Of course our game isn’t going to start on time for a B10 game. Come on FS1!
 
I can't find the channel right now for this game. I keep search for it and instead get a channel that televised the NFL Ateelers versus Chiefs game. Is this game even being televised tonight?

Sloppy post. I have no way to edit it either. Oh well. Make sure read through the mis-spellings

That was a weird feeling. Up 5 with 4:00 to go and we pulled away.

This was actually a point I made in one of the threads. For whatever reason, we don't win close games. We just enter another gear and blow teams out instead of winning close.

Took the good guys, the over and the good guys in the 2nd half. Triple winner, gotta love those!!

Not bad for a team who will be lucky to finish over .500 on the season, eh?
 
I went on tilt after I lost $100 on Purdue and parked $300 on -7.5. Whoever said "it all works out in the end", thank you.
