Finesse and back to the basket aren't mutually exclusive. He may not back someone down but he can post and has a nice turn around, and somewhat of a floater/hook. It's not his main shot. Then again when playing the four there are few smaller players that defend him.

Daniels can get position decently if that's the game plan on Ejim. There are more ways to get position in the post than backing a player down.

Wonder if ISU knows what posting up for a finesse player means now.

I'm sick of hearing everywhere how Iowa State is going to beat us. Even on our own board people are fretting over who guards DeAndre Kane, Ejim, how we cover all their shooters, can we keep up with such a well oiled machine. , who guards DeAndre Daniels, who guards Ryan Boatright who on Iowa State is going to be the first one to challenge Amida Brimah and get the ball sent into the 8th row at MSG. We are friggin' UConn.....people fear us!

How did this call make it for the night huh super john - NICE!
 
DD channeling his inner George Gervin tonight. Nothing like having the best game of your career in the biggest game of your career.

Ah, I guess the answer to your question was "no one".

No one will guard DeAndre. A bunch tried, I think, but no one guarded him.
 
his ballhandling has really improved, there was a time where once you saw him take a few dribbles you were holding your breath waiting for the inevitable turnover. we don't ask him to handle the ball alot since he's always on the floor with 2 PGs, but he's much more sure of himself when he commits himself to a move, that crossiver and finish at the rim in the 1st half might have been the best move of his career.
 
His baseline turnaround was so smooth! He has a phenomenal mid-range game that, when he's on, is virtually unguardable. The problem is he's only been on three or four times this season.

Let's hope the momentum from this game and the urgency from the end of the season will kick him into gear. When we were this close to the end of our season last year Deandre was playing like a lottery pick... now we're getting to the end of this season and it seems to be a little bit of history repeating. I hope!
 
Kane looked like he was concerned with showing how physical and tough he is and forgot about basketball at times. Daniels just straight up balled.
 
Well, they probably heard DeAndre was a puss, which, of course, everyone knows, so they didn't bother defending him.
