We're good

He had open 3’s passed up which tells me something, that he trusts others more to make them. He did make them last year but they are kind of shots that need space. They must have tried to change his shot but it didn’t take. He has a floater for a pull up not a jumper. With all that he does many great things out there.

I remember after the first game, all the posters said that Hurley failed again to bring in shooters.

That was a silly take from the get-go. Alleyne, Calcaterra, Karaban were all well known shooters when they were being recruited. That's WHY they were recruited. Newton was okay at ECU, but the signs were there he could improve if he wasn't the #1 through #7 option on his team offensively. Good FT shooting, good form, tough shotmaking.

He is not playing well and turning the ball over way too much and he is still very obviously a net positive. He is not in danger of losing his starting spot and that strikes me as an insane take.

Well, technically, he’s not a starter right now.

I guess the point is many folks make judgements on too small of a sample size. Like in the chat room. I swear yesterday you woulda thought we were losing.

This was just a really, really fun game of basketball to watch. Both teams have high-level defense. Toughness all over the court. Smart offense. Great coaching. We made a run when we needed to and had the shooting and post-play to pull off the run.

And one of these days Alleyne will hopefully get his touch back. He's literally over 10 percentage points below his career average. When that happens, watch out.

Had a couple rim out on him early tonight, he'll get it going eventually

This guy Kyle Boone from CBSSports.com was on to something early. From November 7. Gotta give him credit.

8. UConn earns highest tourney seed since last Calhoun title​

Legally, I am obligated to inform you that I have officially gone full stan for Dan Hurley and UConn this season and I don't care who knows it. All-in. Will be a challenger to Creighton in the Big East and the clear No. 2 in the league ahead of Villanova. Is it bold? Based on how my colleagues see things, maybe. But do I believe it? Absolutely.

I'm willing to double down on my Huskies love by going as far as to say they will either tie or best their highest NCAA Tournament seed since their last Jim Calhoun championship (they were a 3 seed and won it in 2011). To quote the legend Nelson Knapke: Adama Sanogo? Dog. Andre Jackson Jr? Dog. Oh, and Dan Hurley? He's a dog, too.

This roster is stacked, this coaching staff is arguably the best in the Big East and its prospects for this season are way, way higher than anyone is willing to admit.

I was thinking about the staff earlier today.

Do we have the best group of assistants in the country? We lost Bouknight and our offense still got noticeably better after Luke Murray came in. Tom Moore is a rebounding wizard with Calhoun DNA. Kimani Young beat Wright and Nova last year. All 3 can recruit.

My initial impression of him is that he shoots too quickly, and therefore isn't taking good shots, which is more like we saw in the past several years.

My hope is that he can settle down some and match this team's developing rhythm, which leverages its versatility and displays growing confidence.

I have similar thoughts about Diarra, and liked that he drained his late free throws with a sense of ease.

I did not expect both Karaban and Clingan to be this good right out of the gate.

Clinigan no but I had high expectations for Karaban based on early reports and watching him on tape. He looked like a complete player and he is just scratching the surface how good he could be like Clingan. Exciting stuff.

Can anyone explain why he continues to start over Andre?
 
I tried to tell you guys this entire offseason that we were National Championship contenders and was met with constant criticism on here. Don’t question my UConn intuition next time. Huskies

Chances are, not to your satisfaction, but I'll venture to say that it relates to AJax not being yet considered 100% in his earliest games back from the broken pinky.

Jackson will probably be back in the starting lineup after the PK85 is over. He missed like 5-6 weeks, it’s gonna take him a couple more games to get back into the groove

You said that after Auburn last year too.

Edit: I really do appreciate your enthusiasm though. But this was after some blowouts against scrubs last year. Took 5 seconds to find.

Some people here act like it’s unfathomable that we can have championship aspirations again even though we’ve literally seen what a championship team looks like multiple times. This team has the pieces to go that deep and no one can tell me otherwise. They are so damn talented and their defense is unfair. I don’t care if they haven’t had a real test yet - you know what kind of team beats 3 D1 teams by an average of 45 points? A championship team.
