We're good

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.

I mean, he’s looked good enough when he played. Alleyne hasn’t exactly been lights out as a starter so I don’t see what he brings as a starter Andre couldn’t.

We seem to get a huge lift when Andre comes in every time. Doesn’t make sense to me but we’re winning so whatever.
 
We have so many weapons on both sides of the floor. I can not remember a UConn team so well balanced as this one.

It's gonna change eventually because Andre is one of our best players. But your last paragraph is pretty much the reason right now, "We get a huge lift" and "we're winning". It's not a good one, but I think it is the reason

Eh I’d prefer for us to have a hot start because he’s in already. Joey C and DC can also give us those lifts when they come in. But can’t complain too much when we’re blowing out a top 25 team.

Maybe trying to give Alleyne confidence knowing that he has struggled, yet will be an important piece with his defensive capabilities.

But again, we had slow starts to both halves and that lasted until Dre checked in. He isn’t playing well by traditional measures but pushing so hard off rebounds creates many easy buckets and I think his unselfishness rubs off on the rest of the guys. But it would be nice if he could at least go back to last years shooting and he fumbled so many dribble hand-offs last night.

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.

His A/TO is very similar to Alex's whom most of us have a man crush on. BTW check out Tristans and Hassan's.

Better.


But missing the point.

Did the Alabama game look any different than Oregon to you because of the opponent? A much tougher fight, no?

We beat the snot out of them. Sure, they're good, but I don't know that based on what I watched last night.

Thanks for sharing. Andre wasn’t keeping his cardio up while out though? Lol. It was a pinky injury.

There is cardio and there is game shape. Pressure, adrenaline, etc. all can mess with cardio and are hard to simulate.
