UConn plays an “Old Big East” style… “They Are Inevitable”

[Drew]

“They are a completely relentless program… a serious program that attracts serious people”

Awesome comments from Colin!

Said this to another UConn fan in Brooklyn. Did not know him but we were chatting and high giving through the game. Early second half I said to him it looks like we are INEVITABLE…… great post. Sums it up.

What a great UConn advertisement!

What I liked so much was watching them actually keep running their offense with 2-3 seconds left on the shot clock, and knowing they were going to score. Can't imagine how deflating that was for their opponents.

Inevitable? Yes. The script was so familiar…close in the first half, gain a bit of separation at the half, avalanche in the second half. (Except for the times that the avalanche came in the first half.)

Old Big East style? Ehhhhhh…..not so much. Really good defensively, but not trying to murder anyone - unlike the classic Big East defenses.

And the old Big East never played offense like we do.

I'm with those who do NOT think we resemble the old BE. The old BE was rough tumble. John Turner used to hit guys with a baseball bat. Guys were slaughtered going into the lane. There is no one like the old Pitt or Georgetown teams.

when you have guys like Chevon Troutman trying out for the NFL after finishing with Pitt basketball, you know you have a man's league.

Who was the big man on Pitt that could have been arrested for assault every game?

Gary McGhee? Wait, nm, he was the victim of his ankles getting assaulted by Kemba.

We never played offense like we do now.

I will always bow at the altar of JC but if I had a dime back for every time we complained about UConn's lack of a half court offense, I could have funded KO's settlement.

Wait for shot clock to wind down to 10, get the ball to Dyson and watch him drive and get mauled.
