Boatright Appreciation Thread

[nomar]

My MVP today. Made one bad pass and otherwise played A+ basketball.

He is totally under control. Which is amazing. Hats off to the coaching staff and to Boat himself for being coachable and for learning how to play with Bazz and maximize their complementary talents.

His defense was, IMO, the key to our wins over MSU and UF. His perimeter D is so amazing that other teams can't score INSIDE. It barely makes sense but it's true.

Totally agree with the original post. Boat has arrived. He is now a legitimate star.

I've got some crow to eat about Boat, couldn't be happier!

 

[SWHuskyFan]

I'd give out three MVPs tonight. With all three guys playing this well, we're going to be tough for whoever survives tonight.

 

[TracerBullet]

He was absolutely amazing! A man among boys.

Boat's skill and swagger got UCONN their Monday night game.

 

[Deepster]

His defense the last two games has been a sheer treat to watch. Even off the ball, he's inside the other players jersey. And he hasn't picked up tickytack fouls or hand checks either. Wow.

 

[SaeHusky]

That was his best game in a Husky uniform - Period

 

[Chris]

UCONN!!!!!

 

[Gurleyman]

The other thing he did was get some rebounds and loose balls in traffic where he just wanted it more than everyone else. Flung his body in there and somehow came out with it.

It's been a pretty good tournament for our maligned guys (Boat, DD). If only somehow Omar could hit the winning 3.

A+++ ball today by the Boatshow. Locks down everyone, he should switch majors to Criminal Justice.

Ryan Boatright is playing the most insane defense I've ever seen. For multiple games, he has been at the level of Ricky Moore vs Trajan Langdon. For multiple games. Just amazing D.

Best defensive guard since Linehan the way he's playing right now.

As good as DD was, have to agree....MVP to Boat

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Boat was definitely MVP in my mind. Really great defense.....he made Wilbekin go and hide (and whine).

Ricky Moore is back!!! (just when we needed him)

 

[metsfan2323]

as Ricky Moore would say: They don't know, they don't know!

You love to see when a Player improves right before your eyes. Boatright the latter part of this season is totally different from the end of last year. He is ALL IN and totally embraces the Team First concept. KUDOS to him and the coaching staff. I LOVE this Team.

Back to back baskets with Napier sitting, amazing defense most of the night and aside from the one bad pass, his handle was fantastic. Daniels was great but Boatright was my MVP.

 

[GlastonTim]

STUD!!!!!!!!

 

[Danzz]

Daniels defense and rebounding was also pretty outstanding. Boatright was incredible.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Boat was Amazing 2nite.
and has been amazing, all tournament long.
His no-look pass to Daniels, I think it was.
is one of the best passes, I have ever seen, in my entire Life.

there were points in the game where I did nothing but watch Boat on the defensive end just to key in on how locked in he is on defense. He is an absolute animal on the defensive end and made life hell for Wilbekin and Hill, the transformation he's made on that end is like nothing I've ever seen when compared to last year and earlier this season.

Wilbekin literally could not get the ball at one point. RB has so much defensive energy and I think it's infectious.

I couldn't agree more. I have been a big critic all year (hell, last two years), but he was the player of the game tonight. And, I am beginning to see ( my bad) just how good he is at the defensive end of floor. He took Scootie Wilbeken Totally out of the game. He single handedly took away Florida's heart and their offense. Great job Boat.
