We're good

[husky429]

Only complaint about the game was the 2-3 Hawkins threes that rimmed out to start the game. He was wide open. Maybe too open.

Still ended up shootinf 36% from 3. Think of it as shooting 54% from 2. That's damn good on a night he didn't even shoot very well. I'm happy to let him shoot through slumps any game. 10+ attempts per game, minimum.

I’m placing the big East champs bet.

I do think we are going to be good but I will hold off final judgement until we play the winner of Michigan State and Bama. Oregon is 2-3 for a reason. They are not very good. They lost to UC Irvine. We also made more threes tonight than the program has ever made in a game. That's not sustainable. Otherwise, it was a very enjoyable game to watch.

My takeaways:

Calcaterra belongs on the floor. Those saying he can't handle more athletic teams will need to eat crow. He looked composed out there.

Diarra is the one who may not make the rotation. He can't shoot, and that is going to be an issue when he is on the floor.

Alleyne and Karaban were solid, and everybody else played really well.

 

[SportsFan88]

We can play with anyone in the country and can win

 

[Huskybass]

Love Newton's game. Big, experienced and gets fouled often. Puts pressure on the D.

this wasn't Diarra's type of game. Too many ticky tack foul calls. I'm not 100% sold on him yet, but his game doesn't fit the way this one was called and it seems he played to the officiating

 

[AtlantaHusky]

The thing I most enjoy about this team is the sharing and passing of the ball. Lots of unselfishness and great chemistry. So many assists.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

We actually took very few bad shots as a team all night.

This. We took 37 3s tonight and I can’t really remember any head scratchers. They were almost all good looks.

 

[NowInStorrs]

They should have gotten us then cause it's here.

 

[AtlantaHusky]

I almost freaked when Sanogo threw up the 3 from the corner. Then he hit it and I freaked out more.

 

[Marat]

It was nice. But no matter what it ain’t going to look like this against either opponent tomorrow.

We`'ll be guarded much tougher on the perimeter tomorrow. Will need to drive more, and get Adama the ball more.

 

[AntG168]

We`'ll be guarded much tougher on the perimeter tomorrow. Will need to drive more, and get Adama the ball more.

We just need to keep moving and passing the ball the way we’ve been. We have the fire power to beat either team tomorrow. No more moral victories. Go win this tournament

Dude has barely hit rim from 3 so far this year. I’m starting to give him the benefit of the doubt when he has an open look.

I think that's kind of the point, though? We have struggled against the zone since Hurley was HC and tonight we just ripped it apart with good looks.

you can tell he worked really hard on his outside shot. He looks competent at the very least.

I love love love that he kept shooting. They kept giving it to him, and so he shot enough to get up to a reasonable %.

I mean they’re 2-3 BUT 2 of their 3 losses are from us and Houston. And they HUNG with Houston. They’re not bad. We made them look bad

 

[metsfan2323]

Did any coach in the country have a better offseason than Hurley?

This team is loaded with talent, we have a top 5 class coming in next year and our offseason player development is outstanding.

 

[3rdbass]

Pretty much everything was great today BESIDES Andre. I know concerning a meme,
but his play has been quite concerning. He may not get his starting spot back.

Yeah AJ is not playing well on the offensive side. Looks confused in what he should do and be on the court. At least his defense is improved over last year.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Maybe not but we feel a lot better about our chances. We`ve shown we can handle a big athletic frontcourt now i want to see how we handle a really good backcourt.

Wasn’t Adama’s type of game tonight. Oregon packed the inside with the zone and it became a perimeter and guard game for the Husky offense.
Adama will probably see more opportunities inside tomorrow.

 

[Punkbo]

The two biggest areas of improvement this year are shooting depth and being able to spell Sanogo with a competent backup. The other thing I’d like to point out is it appears that our humble leader from NJ outcoached the no-brainer Hall Of Famer. How many times was Bill Walton going to mention that? Great work, Danny Boy.

Thats exactly right . And we can do that. I believe that. Let’s do it . Tonight was enjoyable to the nth degree. We have a ton of awesome pieces. We passed tonight with flying colors. Let’s keep it going. Oregon rolled over , and I’m not saying that to take anything away from our performance , we were great and guys earned it. But tomorrow is a different game and different styles.

UNC Wilmington is better that Oregon with way better guards and we were 30 plus over them, I don’t know which team between Bama and mi state I want. But bring ‘em on and let’s go.

Yup. And the 3 teams they lost to are a combined 15-1. Quite possible all 3 teams win their respective conferences.

I want Izzo. Payback for last year in Atlantis.
