UConn/USF game thread

[WestHartHusk]

Me too. There are 3000 people...at a conference tourney home game. He is a damn miracle worker when it comes to recruiting, even if many of our guys are rated in the 100s these days.

How is he a miracle worker? And do you think maybe the 3,000 in the building is a result of what he has given us. He is on the razors edge of being a bball Diaco.

Now Purvis catches fire... Lol

Dude must be packing heat or a billionaire, no way you pull quality like that without something

I actually knew that.

 

[nomar]

Remember when Amida scored 40 points in a game?

 

[superjohn]

True story: That's Christina Hendricks's husband

She's a big chick, would destroy Brimah in the paint.

I don't understand how this guy could play in a National Championship as a freshman against those Kentucky posts and hold his own and than look this bad 4 years later. It's simply not possible.

 

[JSM1970]

Haha, Coppin State against 6-6 guys. I actually said it was a joke and people killed me.

I'd be happy for Amida if he got that lucky.

Come on. Everybody knew it was a fluke. That said, he had a great connection with DHam. Nobody's been able to feed him and maximize his limited offensive skill set this season.

Thank God Purvis came to play. He's pretty much the only one. 13 points, 4 rebounds so far...

 

[JSM1970]

Ugh, he played like 8 mins against UK. He sucked in the tourney minus the 1 St Joe's play. Had like 8 points in the 5 games after.

Purvis usually does catch fire in March. However let's see how we do if we advance. One game at a time.

Mad cow disease? Seems unsteady on his feet.

OMG. Yes. Over the top lobs and dunks. We are the AAC.

Do you think the recruits we get are coming here for the opportunity to play the likes of USF, Tulane and Tulsa in front of a half-filled building? Who could recruit better players given our situation?

 

[superjohn]

Poor Amida would just fumble them and then trip over his own feet.

Much better supporting cast on that team. He's not a team leader. Never was. I don't know how people have expected him to be one. He blocks shots but he's not a scorer unless it's an alley-oop dunk.

 

[storrsroars]

I don't think I've seen anyone lose a dribble off their foot since Hoosiers.

 

[UConnDan97]

We've had a miserable first half and we are up by double digits. Good situation to have...

 

[nomar]

Maybe she's a huge Super Troopers fan?

Do you remember that kid's name?

 

[Travelman6]

Thats right Huskies, Create some distance. (lol)

 

[Chin Diesel]

Adams must be on some good drugs. His ankle has no strength or stability.

 

[huskyrob1]

Gotta say, KO is coaching a smart game. Lots of pt for Enoch AND Brimah, and is strategically resting his backcourt players.

 

[greydog]

Do you remember that kid's name?

Ollie!

 

[Chin Diesel]

Enoch's FT strike looks so much better.

Is this a fail on coaches not emphasizing FT's or lack of big man coach developing players?

Yeah he has to. It's clear that Jalen isn't healthy yet. That doesn't bode well for a deep run in this tourney, but maybe we'll see others step up...

We're 17 of 18 from the stripe today. It's not like we ignore that part of our game...

 

[Chief00]

Enoch needs to use shoulders better when posting - please Coach Miller
