I love seeing Danny recruiting in the "Good game." line.

WE WON AN AWAY GAME

I guess we look better with Karaban playing, huh?

AK, a sight for sore eyes! He came back with a vengeance and an all-around game, 21pts/11rbs/4dimes.
A great production from center tandem Tarris/Samson, 12 pts a piece. Tarris was also a force in late game.
I liked Diarra play with 11 assists and good defense on Tre Johnson with the exception of the last play in first half.
Ball infusion into offense is great, and also his defense has noticeably improved.

Give credit to Hurley. He has recognized that he needs to coach this team differently.

Great road win. Offensive grade: A

The euro offense seemed to be at its best today with the ball movement which gave us a lot of good shots.
The slipping of screens for lobs ( Samson) and layups, good cutting and double high picks that opened up layups or three’s. The execution looked more like last years team than any other game did so far this year.

Great win - the tide is turning.

Yes and I think this one may age really well

Singare: He had no statistical production to mention, but he enabled the two bigs to sit for nine minutes in the first half without picking up a third foul, and also allowed Karaban to stay at the four and not have to move to the five. His contribution was enormous.

Great easy road win against a team that doesn't lose at home. UConn fans gonna flood MSG for the Zags on Saturday.

Total team win-
We have a two headed monster at center again if they can just stay out of foul trouble, which remains a major problem. They were both really good when they played. Hass and Karaban were great. Solo was a lot better on D, he drove some first half and he's an absolute sniper from three. Jaylin is still getting the short end of the stick on minutes.

This was the best ball movement and cutting we've had all season and the defense has been much better the past two games.

 

[TheHorde]

Solo drove the ball to the rack with a bit of success tonight and I think it opened up more space for him to get looks at the 3 point line.

 

[AllHusky]

Balls defense?

Great post.

Best game we played this season by far. We look like a legit solid team again.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Karaban was awesome. Diarra was great. Solo's defense was noticeably improved. Singare was far better than I expected when he was coming in today, sneaky huge part of this win by setting up very productive second halves for Johnson and Reed. Think our defense overall was very good - they hit a lot of contested shots in the second half

Amazing what a little bit of practice time will do once your flaws have been exposed

 

[phillionaire]

Im really glad the majority of our games aren’t on ESPN, not a fan of their production

It was terrible.

 

[blkknight1]

Singare won’t have an impressive box score but he played a vital role in the game.

Welcome back, Alex! All American performance (21 pts, 11 reb, 4 ast, 2 blk, 2 stl, 1 TO - 3/5 on threes)

 

[upstater]

People are trying hard to ignore Solo's 3-pt shooting, as though it makes him a one trick pony.

But of course it's something this team sorely needs.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Back to not being able to win a close one...

 

[That Guy]

Huge road win against a good team. Defense was much, much better. Texas got super hot in the 2nd half and kept making tough shots, but the boys kept their poise and got the job done. On to Storrs South for Gonzaga!

 

[IndyLives]

Defense stepped up today - holding a good Texas offense to 42/47. Perimeter defense still needs to step-up but much better physical presence as UConn dominated the boards. AK & Reed get the game balls. This win should put us back in the Top 15 - we were 1.5 underdogs. The 3Peat Dream lives on!!
