Great job Huskies and congrats Coach Ollie and team. Impressive gutty win. The first fifteen minutes as as good as we can play. Tremendous job and team win with many contributions....led by Napier and Boatright.

Such a great win.

 

[Scot-e]

We needed this win. Great job by KO- gusty team effort. Great way to get the season started. Ummmmmm are we ranked now?

 

[3uconn]

Great win!!!! Does anybody have a link to the Boatright Alley-Op?

 

[Danzz]

Wow is right, gutty performance. These kids played with great intensity the entire game against a much stronger and probably more talented team. Kudos to Ollie, he has these kids playing hard. I'm a believer, give Ollie a real contract now.

Team dug deeeeeeeep to win this one at the end. Lost the lead just once.

Awesome to see team lovin' them some Ollie and seeing JC beam atthe announce table when the buzzer sounded.

Michigan State didn't expect to be punched in the mouth from the tip. We set the tempo right then.

Liked the toughness on defense the last six minutes as much as I liked the offense the first 10 minutes.

Kids showed some onions tonight.


Good start.

Hope Warde brought a five year extension with him. KO outcoached the best coach in CBB.

You can see the team loves Ollie and will go to war for him (something I don't think they were willing to do for JC last year for whatever reason). Hopefully some top recruits were watching this game with the spot light on us. If I was a top big man recruit, I'd see the available playing time and the impact I could make right away. Even a big time rebounder would be great to get.

Amazing how similar this was to many JC games. Great that we came out strong and not afraid, tentative.

Would loved to have heard what KO was saying as he huddled with the 5 players who were taking this one home.

 

[CTBasketball]

If we can come out and play like this every night, with this amount of heart and intensity, I can see us winning a lot of games.

Loved him pointing over at Jim Calhoun after the win.

 

[Cassius Klaiber]

That was a classic win - I can honestly say that I enjoyed this game more than any single moment last year....KO!

 

[huskiesnyc]

This win is amazing. We play real competition and don't hide behind weak wins like NJT_whatever. Warde had a big smile after the win, and I predict the KO extension over/under at January 15th

 

[CTBasketball]

The sooner he gets an extension the better. Means we're in real good shape for Vonleh and maybe even a couple other top recruits.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Well, that sure was a nice way to spend my time.

 

[dapriest]

Well, that sure was a nice way to send my time.

Where did you send it, Hans?
