Stupid turnovers. Magnay is better than Brimah at least offensively. Quick double in the block has resulted in a coupe of TOs forced on defense. So far the man to man D has been solid.

TU wearing some new slick Adidas kicks today.

Igbanu with some nice work inside and making some really good hustle plays for TU right now.

Their guy was out of bounds on that tie ball. But 4-0 on fouls for UCONN so I'll take that.

Agree why sub with momentum and 12-9 lead. Promptly lost it with Haith and Henderson. Igbanu really tough inside. Sterling feeling it.

We're being lazy on offense. No movement and whoever gets the ball first and hasn't taken a shot in a while is just throwing it up. 4 3s in a row and 3 contested and too quick. The one that was open, Etou hit.

Frank plays his son too much.

There, said what everyone else thinks. Don't play the kid Frank.

Even the announcers think an 8-9 man rotation is best --- vs. this 11 man experiment.

I just watched 3 minutes of basketball and witnessed Tulsa taking 5 straight 3s. That won't win many games for Tulsa.

Magnay, Taplin, and Korita.... should play the most minutes imo.

Don't disagree but who should relieve taplin. He is intense when in and wears out then getting a little lazy

We're really off on a lot of our shots but hanging in. Not giving them a lot inside so far. If we can get hot we could pull off a run.

I just saw us spend 1:45 in the huddle drawing up OOB play and then get a five count.

Adams is a nice player for UCONN but he doesn't seem all there. I would swear he is still feeling the effects of the concussion. Purvis...eh. Our guys have really played some nice man defense today and have done a pretty good job on the glass against a slightly bigger team.

We need to avoid those stretches of just settling for the 1st 3 we can throw up. It sets us back and makes it easy in the D. Keep feeding Magnay down low and let him go at Enoch and Brimah. Magnay' footwork and finesse has them off balance.

That final series of the half out of a TO with 20 long seconds left was less than ideal.

Actually it was the look they wanted and a nice pass from Taplin to Igbanu. UCONN was able to recover for the block. I don't have any problems with the try we got for the last shot.

Taplin about turned it over leaving his feet then threw the nice pass into a triple team. Igbanu not that guy yet.

Problem With last play. If IG gets fouled he is less than 50% chance of getting points. Play great. Wrong gyy

If Birt doesn't hit one of first 2 shots, then pull him because he is not going to hit anything. I think he's 0-5 and 0 points. Won't win many games with ZERO production from the wing.

I've said that before about Birt...

He should come the bench... give him 3-4 shots... if he hits 1 or 2, play him. If not, yank him. Pretty basic BB 101 stuff...

This crew was fine in first half, but did peyote at the half apparently. Some truly bad calls in last few minutes. I'm advising old ref that social security pays ok relative to his other employment options as a blind asshat.

UCONN is using 20 seconds on the shot clock before doing anything. Product of not having enough players healthy. They are starting to wear down as they are getting slow on defense too. Etou and Igbanu are really taking it to the inside players right now.

Taplin may be the the best player on the court today. I know Adams is good but he is not playing like it. Taplin' shooting hasn't been great but he has gotten us into so good looks inside and has played really solid defensively.

Igbanu having a great game. Strong underneath. Birt did finally hit a 2, and subsequently air balls a 3. Man. I say Korita > Birt at this point.
