Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4130555, member: 181"] He's still not there yet.It remains his growing edge. I'm not going to look it up, but I am wondering what are his best true road wins against opposing fans up until now, particularly since he's come to UConn. Did he beat Sampson in Houston once? During the last 7 minutes, I had a sense that a victory would have been his best such win ever. He's new to this, and not very good at it yet. I was amazed by how much leash he gave to the frenetic play, and how much variety we saw. I'd have liked some additional Johnson, and even a chance to see if Diggins could have brought some calm. McClure & Sherman made at least 3 well-defended shots during the first half. The refs missed a goal-tending and a clean block. Cole had a shot bounce up to the top of the backboard in addition to the wedged ball. Jackson ran out of shot clock, the second time he took forever agonizing on a 3-point look. The first went in. Huggins got bailouts, though Whaley definitely made plays that covered for others and made them look good. Could have been a double digit win, but also could have been a fall-apart road loss. Whether there's visible growth from this is the pending question. MANY games this year could be like this. Again, the excruciating loss syndrome. 28 points & 14 rebounds in street clothing. We have the pieces, and the pipeline is building. [/QUOTE]
