Wow what a complete win

Well offensively we played like our C/C- game and we destroyed them.

Clingan was the best player on the court and player of the game and when he wasn't out there Sanogo was the best player on the floor along with Hawk. Hawk is becoming very Rip and Ray like with his constant movement/sprinting off off screens.

Our defense is always great and defense travels. Florida was totally demoralized with about 6 minutes left.

All of this happened with our point guards playing horribly and getting nothing from Karaban and Alleyne on offense. The point guard play was unacceptable and Hurley is going to be on them.

I just don't see many losses on the schedule this year, it's getting harder to envision losses when we can play that poorly on the offensive end and still mop up on the road.

Point guard play has to be better and Alleyne has to start giving us something on offense for us to really show how great we are. I know Hurley is all about defense but Joey gives us so much more than the other guys on offense. He was a gigantic pickup.

Couple points:
  • UConn just absolutely erased Will Richard. Like he didn't exist.
  • Clingan looked like the best player in the country. His hands and coordination are unbelievable for his size.
  • The PGs played like ass. Some of that was the combo of smaller quicker defenders plus Castleton over the top, but gross.
  • Calcaterra keeps doing it. It's absurd.
  • Refs bailed out Florida constantly. And we still won by 21.

Great defensive performance. By both teams. UConn wore Florida down. Sanogo best player. Jackson next best, owned the boards , started fast breaks. Clingan benefits from that but also does the job. He plays D. Ultimately that’s the ID of the team. 10 deep, no let up.

“With 6 minutes left “ like in the final four.

We got less than nothing from Newton, Alleyne, and Diarra. Newton had 5 turnovers and Diarra 3. I bet it's the first time in NCAA history that a team gets out shot at the line 28-9 and wins by 20+

They couldn't do anything near the basket when Clingan was in there.

Between Jackson and Clingan, the refs just aren't used to seeing it. At least that's my take. Sometimes I think Jackson doesn't understand his own abilities and hasn't fully taken advantage of them yet.
 
  1. The big fellas took what they wanted. It’s just an embarrassment of riches to sit Sanogo and bring Clingan on.
  2. Second straight game where Karaban got pushed around a bit defensively. Being able to run for stretches with Samson’s defense is going to be a great help.
  3. Newton/Diarra had tough games today. Newton continues to be very volatile and Diarra just doesn’t seem to have the offensive skillet to be effective on that end of the court.
  4. AJax wasn’t flying around and on the ground as much as we’ve grown to expect but was a beast on the boards and was clearly our best running the point today. And that vicious block with about 5 left…
  5. Loved what Hawkins brought running off screens today.
  6. Not sure what else to say about the team defense that hasn’t already been said. It’s phenomenal and good things happen when you give every opponent their hardest defensive performance of the year.
  7. Whoever was right by ESPN’s mics screaming at the top of their lungs every possession like they were getting murdered is going to have no voice for a week.
