Will Cooley have a surprise for Hurley on Thursday?

I hope hawkins can draw some fouls. I had good seats to the last game and it was incredible to see up close how much Carter was holding him, grabbing his jersey etc
 
We just have to keep playing the way we're playing, don't change a thing

Can't believe their are people still telling Hurley how to coach this team. I'm looking at the best UConn team in a long time
 
Doubt we see a situation where Locke doesn't start, he's made almost twice as many threes as anyone on the team and has been in double figures in both matchups against us (17 and 11 respectively). He's the closest thing they have to somebody like Hawkins. Corey Floyd also played 15 minutes in the last matchup and was a complete non-factor. Had a rebound, an assist and an awful lot of cardio.

The game will come down to Hopkins and officiating in my opinion. Karaban basically punked Hopkins in the last matchup, hopefully it happens again
 
Maybe Cooley has this for the handshake line

Agree. I’d like nothing more than the BE Commissioner to remind the Zebras that Hawk is 1st team All-BE and a West Award candidate… he needs to be able to show all the TV viewers how he got there…
 
We have to make quick adjustments if one of their players decides to go ballistic on us like Kadary or that goon from New Mexico last year. It’s tournament time….someone will catch fire against us.

Well presumably if Clingan and Sanogo are on the floor at the same time, Clingan would be guarding Croswell. If Jackson were to guard Hopkins, who would you have Sanogo guard? Carter?

Who cares??! With those 5 Uconn players on the floor, they’ll score every time down the gd floor. Playing the best defense doesn’t guarantee you the game, but having the most points at the end of the game does. The defensive issues would be in Cooley’s lap, not Hurley’s, especially if we’re up by 15. There’s also this new thing, it’s called a zone. :rolleyes:

Seems Hopkins has been exposed - at least I hope so because he looked like the POY earlier.

I think he's started to completely wear down. Dudes averaging almost 35mpg this season (only averaged 6mpg last season at Kentucky) . I think AK will get the best of him again tomorrow. Hopkins has really been exposed on the defensive end. CAN'T WAIT!!!

I think the biggest key to this game is getting a solid EARLY lead. Don't let Carter, Hopkins, Bynum get into an offensive rhythm and build confidence. Anyone or a combination of them going off in the tournament could spell trouble.

We were essentially tied halfway through the 2nd half in Storrs. I don’t think it matters when your squad decides to flip the switch.

Cannot like this enough. March is ALL about adjustments... we have 30 games worth of film on every team we might face in the BET or NCAAT. We have a versatile defensive team. There is no excuse to not adjust when we need to.

I agree about that as an undersized forward. Same for their best guard (actually forgot his name as I type) - worn out chasing Jordan. I suspect & hope we have it figured out. In Hurley we trust.

Let’s both agree not to derail this thread by beating this dead horse again.

Will Dan have a surprise for Cooley??? Usually it seems these group photos are used for the starting lineup when they show on tv. There’s one BIG difference I see…
