UConn game thread

[JD Walker]

7-4 huskies under 16 minutes. Back to the usual starting lineup since Simpkins is more comfortable coming off the bench.

 

[Seton75]

JD fouled while writing that post

 

[Hall1996]

Anyone know why Sha has mask on?

 

[Jcordasco1952]

Anyone know why Sha has mask on?

Flu

 

[PQR]

Where’s Parker?

 

[ivyhillpark63]

Man does this team stick to the script or what

 

[hbkmyr]

What are these officials watching?

 

[Powerful Pirates]

Afraid of Hurley

 

[Fishjam]

Parker and Godswill in street clothes.

 

[Seton75]

A shucking heroic SHU GAME so far.

 

[Bluebirds_]

Rivera one of the best athletes you’ll see in America today? I want what these announcers are smoking.

 

[JD Walker]

Tied at 26 with 3 minutes left in first

 

[Seton75]

Huge minutes by Naj

Considering the stakes and the circumstances surrounding this game, we probably played as good a first half as we have all season. Very encouraging!

If you had told me before the game that we'd be leading by 1 at the half, I would have definitely taken it. Let's see if we still have some of that second half magic to dispense!

 

[Piratz]

Great half for this team!

 

[johns79]

So far, so good. Keep up the intensity.

 

[Piratz]

We’ve got our best 4 offensive players playing together for most of the half. Keep that!

 

[Fishjam]

Mike Williams has to be better especially with no Parker. Rough 1st half. Several defensive lapses leading to open 3s, 2 fouls and the 1 time they put Budd on the bench he turned it over bringing it up the floor.

 

[CTF591011]

Fishcer has stepped up lately. I think he is a senior and no more Covid extra year. I feel he has been missed than just really bad. Great offensive game.

 

[ivyhillpark63]

Damn looked like we were gaining control but give it right back..

 

[CTF591011]

Realized earlier when they showed tournament projections, this team is first four out. This win has to get us back to the bubble and more confidence. I just feel too, if we enter this game just beating Depaul once and not choking against Creghton, we could've been in the bubble anyway tbh. Literally just beating anyone not UCONN, St. Johns, and Nova, we could've even been a decent chance at a at large bid. Can't think too much about it now. One game at a time. If we beat UCONN today confidence to end conference play on with a win streak is much higher.

Under 12 minutes
Pirates 48
Huskies 44

Hanging tough. Playing well.

You can say this for a bunch of other teams, including ones that can cite losses to Seton Hall. It all evens out.

 

[SJGuy410]

Looking good but Clark needs a few minutes, can tell he is getting tired. Going to need him for the final 8.

 

[mdjpk3131]

No UCONN runs!!! Please!!! Keep it close and then anything can happen. Let’s go Pirates!!

 

[Piratz]

Close this out!!!

 

[CTF591011]

LOL Willaims, Mccray, and Fisher have honestly been the heroes with Hines tonight. With Clark struggling, they needed to pick up the scoring. If Clark gets into some rhythm, we got this.

 

[Piratz]

Karaban has been hitting BOMBs all game. Ofcccc

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Why is sha in a mask? Cold symptoms or does he think Danny and uconn bench stealing signals and putting them on apple watch?

 

[ivyhillpark63]

Just cant stand prosperity....

 

[mdjpk3131]

Who spells Hines down the stretch now that Payne fouled out?? Never thought we would miss Godswill.

 

[TommyD82]

The 3 pt shot just turned the tide in the game. Caravan off the screen a killer.

 

[PhishingPirate088]

Hurley is incredibly tough to take

He better hope their money never allows them to sink beneath about 10 in the country or his act will go south very quick

He would have lasted about 3 quarters in the nba

 

[PhishingPirate088]

We looked prepared and played fairly well in this environment

Just don’t think we have the horses today

 

[HallB]

8-2 under 4, I’ll say no more.

 

[JD Walker]

Under 4 minutes tied at 58. 10-0 run by UConn gets them back in it

 

[HallB]

Ok one more thing…Hurley is insufferable.
