UConn "Secret" Scrimmages

[Rico444]

Interesting point Hurley made in this article about last years team being physically intimidating and able to “punk” teams because of it. I never really felt like we physically intimidated anyone especially anyone on our level.

Maybe Marquette? The game at home I felt like we owned it from start to finish.

In the recent promo video I saw they sure made it sound like Richie might get a few minutes this year... Hope right, it Springs eternal?

Sha mad at his guys already? Some fans may think some coaches don’t say enough to the media, but it is possible to say too much…

Part of the challenge of being a D1 BB coach is blending getting your guys in shape for the season -per your eye- And getting them integrated into your offensive/defensive schemes. If you try to do too much too soon-- They can break them down.

The season is a marathon--Not a sprint

Primo Spears sounds like the name of an adult male performer.

I was thinking seton hall at the garden….either way I don’t think it was as obvious on the outside as it was to him. I think the less menacing more skilled is a good trade off.

Woodward, Bernstein and Politico have nothing on you.

Anyone got the scoop for the UVA scrimmage that was supposed to happen today?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Word from the Duke - Houston scrimmage is that Houston won by 10.

Now we have to worry about poor Duke and their 10 McD’s?

To be fair, Duke was missing Lively and Whitehead who are #1 and #2 in the recruit rankings lol. And apparently they shot 2-17 from 3. If I’m Houston, I’m a little concerned we only won by 10 points considering the circumstances…

Indeed, very concerning.

Nothing on Virginia basketball twitter or forums that I can see either. Hopefully some beat reports on Monday.

So, the secret scrimmage has remained a secret for more than 12 hours.

Impressive.

Hurley takes his scrimmage secrecy very seriously, apparently.

Virginia won 75-69

Virginia won 75-69

that’s a lot of points for and against Virginia.

Score is pretty close to meaningless in these scrimmages since they can add extra possessions and time basically anytime they want, for all we know that could have been a 60 minute game.

That said, if the 75-69 score is accurate I think that's a good sign that we can hang with a top 20 team that brought their full team back this early in the season

Without Jackson and Karaban.

Not serious enough.

Wouldn't fret about it with AJ and AK missing from the game.

Virginia is a good team anyway.
