This is the first time i've ever done this, but couldn't sleep last night.. Went to the game but watched video for first time and here are my thoughts. I admit my thoughts are a Uconn lean, but I try to be as fair as possible when I watch.. There are 100 more things I could have noted, but tried to minimize it..
1st HALF
19:12 first Uconn basket of the game was JA floater that could have been (and maybe should have been) called a charge. Wonder if Sean Miller got in refs ears about it and that made them hyper sensitive to our charges the rest of the game..
18:23 AG drives to the hoop (could have and prob should have been a foul called on AZ) and bangs his head hard on the ground. Very well could explain why he missed so badly on his first 3 attempt and be why he had a terrible game.. watched it a number of times and it was a really hard hit to the floor.. surprised they allowed him to continue to play at the moment
17:39 JC called for illegal screen.. very WEAK call: not much movement at all and i’ve seen way worse not get called
17:18 CV gets called for the first of many to come offensive fouls called against us. I get that call.. called often but I honestly think the first possession when Jalen scored and they didn’t call a charge was a better taken charge, but Miller put it at the forefront of the refs heads
15:10 We get called for foul as a Zona guard drives to the basket.. Gilbert got as much contact back earlier if not more but refs give them the whistle and not us
12:16 Cobb gets called for foul when trying to take a charge. Think that was probably the correct call, but Cobb wasn’t moving much if any more than Jeter back at 17:18 when he drew the charge
10:14 SW’s first bucket of his Uconn career wasn’t rushed.. he smoothly took his time and perfectly knocked it down.. LOVE that confidence
9:47 On the replay of the CV and 1 basket, Greenburg calls coach “Dirty Hurley” and quickly corrects himself: HILARIOUS
2nd HALF
17:35 Jump ball called with (supposedly) 1 second left on the shot clock.. This one could go either way, but with my blue shaded glasses, I feel like the AZ player that was part of the jump ball got complete control of the ball for a moment when on the ground as evidenced by his attempt to pass when laying on the ground. My interpretation on that is AZ possession (even if for a second) should give us a new shot clock.. which leads us to:
17:35 Shot clock goes off before Jalen even touches the ball.. BAD BREAK
16:16 AZ turnover.. watching it a few times it looks like ball actually went off Jalen, so that takes negates previous bad break.
14:47 Missed WIDE OPEN 3 by Jalen.. got have those from your Senior leader
9:49 When the ref bench warned Diarra, if you watch him, Diarra said nothing.. He just stood there on the corner of the court (in a location he’s allowed to stand in) staring in disbelief.. (he even backed up a little bit back towards his seat before the ref even said anything.. Ref WANTED to make something out of it, but luckily Diarra just sat right back down without a word
1:34 Ref misses obvious travel on AZ which then turns into 3 free-throws for AZ.. another (BIG) bad break
Side Thoughts/Notes:
And even with ALL that (and more)… we still had a chance right down to the very end.. BE ENCOURAGED for the future of Uconn Hoops!

Side Thoughts/Notes:
- WTF is the deal with Chase Jeter’s shorts?!?
- CV fights like an SOB for every rebound he gets near
- Chase Jeter attempts to take a charge EVERY SINGLE TIME anyone drives near him (makes sense with his Dook history) I guess if you attempt to take 15 charges every game, the ref is bound to give you on average 3-5 per game.. Jeeeeeeeeez…
- Refs were CHARGE HAPPY today
- AG is obviously still rusty, but i’d say he’s a poor man’s Allen Iverson
- 3 team fouls on AZ until 35.6 seconds left in game.. meanwhile they are already in the double bonus at this point.. that’s tough to do and makes no sense
And even with ALL that (and more)… we still had a chance right down to the very end.. BE ENCOURAGED for the future of Uconn Hoops!
