We are a team with the runs

[Kitaman]

This may become our identity, which is much more terrifying and demoralizing to opponents than anything else.

Does anyone recall a similar UConn team that put up such impressive numbers?

Any time the team goes on a run and things click, that shows the potential of this team... and it's scary good. Suffocating defense, owning the boards, and explosive transition offense with inside-out scoring options.

They just suffocate you defensively and then go on that kill shot run and within 2 minutes it’s a 15 points game. It happens every. Single. Game. I don’t recall a UConn team ever doing something like this

1998-1999 team.

And oftentimes it's in the second half around the 12 minute to 5 minute mark where a game that was still somewhat in doubt turns in to when do we see Springs and when do the walk on come in.

spurtability!

And it’s a different couple of players who go off, but the defense has been consistent, 40 minutes of hell consistent!

Is there a stomach bug going through the locker room?

Yes. Any of geno’s best teams. It’s terrifying. I actually was waiting for it as we watched butler work very hard to take that opening lead. We just let them punch themselves out early and ride it out.

I think it’s a testament to our depth. We beat on teams for 30 mins going 9 (soon to be 10) deep. Then all of sudden we blitz them with a quick run and put the game out of reach.

Killer. Instinct.

Which makes sense because at that point the other team is worn down and tired, and our entire team is fresh because we have so much depth. It’s just not fair

 

[uconnblueinky]

UConn has 2 top 25 teams ...... on the same team

Runs = Diarra?

Dre could have ended the game earlier if he didn’t half hesitate on that poster on bates. He needs to ram that. He had him and backed off.

" with the runs" needs to be re-phrased, maybe team that goes on runs. Hard to go on runs, with the runs. LOL.

Here comes the run, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the run, and I say
It's alright
