Somebody needs to put that Popeye look that Samson flashed onto a t-shirt. It was perfect!

AK is back. Champion.

18-9-6 from AK.

He’s a March player.

Quite the game…just leaving MSG and could not be happier with the second half. Wore Tristen Newton shirt for luck and hope it worked. 3-0 in games I have attended.

Adian was key tonight. Hassan clearly struggled and adian playing those minutes and playing them well allowed him to rest and be ready in the second half.

Stewart came in, committed a boneheaded foul outside the 3 point line within 10 seconds and then proceeded to be pretty awesome for the rest of the night. Glad to see Mahaney really step up as well.

Fun final 10 minutes. Mahaney was great. I love Samson Johnson. Go Huskies

 

[SCNCHuskie]

The two players that people have been most critical of came through today. Mahaney looked confident running the point and scored 7, with three assists. With three games in three days it’s nice for Diarra to get more rest than usual. Johnson with 11 points, on perfect shooting, although surprisingly he only had 1 rebound. BUT, what a great all around game by AK, the shooting stroke is back. Prediction - tomorrow Ball, Reed, and McNeeley go off.

what was the technical for?

It’s 12:30am. Am I asleep? Is this a dream? What’s going on?

America’s leading scorer shot 2-15?

Michael Jordan played the first half with the name “Poplar” on his jersey?

Aidan Mahaney was our best player for half the game?

Alex Karaban nailing clutch shots against the team that started his slump? Scored or assisted on every single Husky point from 6:17 to the end of the game except Solo’s 2 FTs at the end

THIS. IS. MARCH.

Gonna be there Saturday. Need to light some sage and put some good juju in the air to assure the good guys are playing!

The final 13 minutes was beautiful basketball. We were down 5 but ended it on a 32-10 run to run away with it.

 

[HuskyFich]

got home late from work, watched second half only, so I thought it was a great game, lol.

Aiden Mahaney was great. That lefty kiss off the glass was next level smooth.

AK reloaded and ready.

Master class defense.

Very excited for tomorrow.

 

[tuvent08]

That was tremendous fun. Expectations change if we get that Mahaney.

Congrats Boneyarders. It’s a blowout!

 

[CL82]

Wow what a second half!

 

[bazz&boujee]

We want briefs

 

[uconngb]

It’s March people….,this is what we do!!!!

 

[3rdbass]

Great game from UCONN in the last 10 minutes. I didn't see that run. Biggest change I saw was putting Stewart on the big Viillanova wings. He has really improved hid D and was part of the reason for the run. Mahaney with big backup minutes even though he still looks suspect bringing the ball up the court at times. Loved to see McNeeley play better in the 2nd half and Karaban hitting his 3s was so sweet. Samnson Johnson played great and helped on D so much.

Hurley was yapping at the younger ref during the timeout.
