UCONN vs Houston Game Thread

This, all day long.

Purv/Adams: 1 point
Vance/Vital: 15 points

Wouldn't have expected that.

At least Adams has more bounce in his step tonight. That's a good sign...

 

[UConnDan97]

Adams steal, Purvis to the hoop!

 

[BugsyCT]

Rodney's back!

Finalyy

 

[sledog]

There is no Houston chatroom - only SMU. oir am I the only one??

 

[UConnDan97]

Adams rebound and kick to Purvis for three!!! The big dogs are waking up...

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Not crazy about his offense if the 3's aren't dropping (and one just did!!), but Purvis can really defend!

 

[Matrim55]

Enoch's not getting rebounds, but he's boxing out & drawing fouls, or at the very least preventing Houston from getting offensive rebounds.

It's a start!

 

[BugsyCT]

So much more energy tonight than last night. Like night & day.

 

[UConnDan97]

Look at the body language out there, especially from Jalen. Love it. Nobody wants to go home tonight. Keep working, dogs...

Great minds think alike...

Exactly. Very quiet but unlike brimah he isn't making the -4 point swing today, except for one bad foul and missed defensive read.

 

[sledog]

Still no sign of Houston chatroom? what gives fishy? I'm obviously signed in.

Beautiful 20-4 run going into the last tv timeout. The few times that Uconn is actually firing on all cylinders this year, it is truly a sight to behold - (even though that is a rare thing).

 

[BlueDogs]

Purvis just can't quite stay under control

 

[sledog]

very fast pace / swarming game tonite.

 

[UConnDan97]

This looks like Husky D!!!

 

[BlueDogs]

Why is Enoch putting the ball on the floor?

 

[gtcam]

wow - a run and playing well without THE BEST player AB in there - imagine

 

[BlueDogs]

Great half.

 

[BugsyCT]

HOW 'BOUT THIS????

 

[polycom]

Catch me in Hartford? How bout dat?

 

[sledog]

Holy crap. The lads are playing like classic UConn!

 

[Ewekon]

Forgot that students are on break as of today

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Best half of basketball they've played since ... the last first half against Houston.

 

[Huskygamble19]

boy..I wish we left Brimah out there.

 

[Travelman6]

So I am wondering. This first half score is very similar to the last game -- But do you notice a different energy heading into the locker room this time compared to in Houston? how likely is Uconn to fall flat again? Or is there a different energy in the air tonight? How tired do the kids look this time? Opinions from those who are there?

 

[UConnDan97]

I'll tell you what. I love this team. I know this season has been brutal, but moments like this are why I'm a Husky fan! Anyone who says they want the season to end can kiss my grits.

Pride. Heart. UConn.
