Got to foul

 

[alexd]

I was wondering how quickly the "have to foul when you're up three" thread would get posted.

Gutsy win,.

 

[ucjoet]

WOW. get out rebounded by 30 and still win. There is something about this team. One last thing, SN is a clutch player.

 

[msgordon]

they better fix this ***king foul **** before it screws them in the ncaas

still happy tho

Was like a perched rat every-time Providence took a shot, solid win!

I hope this rebounding issue was just a blip tonight. I can handle getting out rebounded, but not by 30. Had we played a halfway decent team, we would have gotten destroyed. Back to the boarding drill and lets lay a beat down on USF.

OK, I'll be the optimist. PC built their huge rebound edge on the offensive boards in the first half because they were the gang that couldn't shoot straight. You can't really expect UConn players to anticipate cockeyed shots from closeup clainging off the bracket or just getting air, and the stupid PC players were playing volleyball out there.

Heh, --- well, I tried.

No shame in getting a Big East win...even less shame getting a Big East win on the road.

Conference win on the road against a team playing their version of a NCAA championship game. Now PC fans can go suck an egg for another year and start their ritual of why this game shows why PC is on track to pass Uconn next year.

Feed these kids.. they need three bowls of luck charms a day...

Can anyone explain how UConn won this game? I really wish I could go back to point zero, my mind temporarily configured to be a PC fan and watch the game from their eyes. Because they had to be more frustrated with this game than I was and I can't imagine that to be humanly possible!

I think we play them against at home this year. No?

We play them again at Gampel last game of the season

Good win no matter how you look at it.

Was it just me or were the announcers just the worst I have ever heard. It makes me miss for Dickie V

The quick start saved us, because we were certainly outplayed once everything settled in. But we hung in, and then when crunchtime hit, we made just enough plays - Bazz had a key three in regulation right after they tied it, and then Omar's 3 in overtime was huge. Daniels had a couple key buckets.

Valiant effort....

This is one of those times where we will see how Coach Ollie helps the team develop....sometimes it is a mixed blessing to win a game like this-when you have a team that has an utterly, unfathomably impotent performance in a crucial phase of the game (let's say for example, rebounding) and you still win-sometimes the kids dismiss that problem since "Hey, we won..."

My bet is KO gets renewed focus on rebounding. I'm thinking this embarrassment on the boards was due to first and foremost, PC playing with much more intensity (it ain't rocket science...), and also our guys letting up focus & intensity on rebounding since they had shown improvement in that area lately and thought they could now forget about it.

My money is on Coach Ollie reminding them about the importance of rebounding.

Yeah I got that. It's just that everyone ( and I mean even Shabazz) regressed to their worst personas and the team still won! I'm not sure I've seen many UConn games in which no player played their A or B game and the team still won during the BE schedule. Maybe I was so caught up in the game I'm not evenly distributing the positive with the negative but it seemed like the negative far outweighed the positive. Needless to say the team is 4-3 in conference play, it managed to do something that has been difficult recently to do, and that is win at Providence, so all in all I'm thrilled. I'm just having trouble reconciling what took place with the outcome.

This game falls into my top ten "How in the hell did we win that game?" list.
