"We're gonna shock the world"

Im feeling really good about this year
-shabazz, niels, and tyler a final chance to relive another championship and leave a lasting final mark
-shabazz leadership akin to kembas (last years overtime production a good indication)
-something to play for now - chip on everyones shoulders
-giffey a senior who has steadily improved and reminds me of a ricky moore
-boatright shabazz and deandre all very capable scorers and nba talents
-freshman year coaching jitters out of the way for a more seasoned ko
-chemistry seems to be off the charts and of course thats important
-i just simply feel good about these circumstances

[JellyBean]

I hear ya. I like our chances this year. We are most definitely going to shock some people. Let's go, Huskies!!

 

[ColoradoUCFan]

I really want to beat Louisville just once in the regular season...OK...and once more in the AAC tourney

I looked for the video on youtube without success but in a pregame interview he said "we're gonna shock the world" then of course after winning it all he yelled we shocked the world

I have the video and he says "We Plan to Shock the World Today"

Up to you, but have you considered a handle change?

Coaching is about finding and exploiting mismatches, and I think Ollie has enough versatile players that he'll be able to find plenty of mismatches. Giffey will be the key; when needed, he can play the 3, 4, or 5, depending on what kind of lineup the other team throws our way. Although I suspect he'll see very little time at the 5 this year. If we stay healthy, and Omar, Boat, and Nolan make the improvements I think they're capable of, this can be a top 10 team.

Bazz was instructed by Calhoun, skilled by Ollie and mentored under Kemba. All having NBA ties. Not sure if we ever had a leader with such pedigree that also wears a ring. I really hope the team 'follows' his lead(ership), because he's ready.

 

[RichZ]

Although my national flag blue glasses usually help me see things in a very optimistic light regarding the team, I do find a few of your points questionable.

-shabazz leadership akin to kembas (last years overtime production a good indication)

Kemba was a singular entity, and what he did in the post season won't be duplicated. It was way more than leadership.

-giffey a senior who has steadily improved and reminds me of a ricky moore

Giffey is a good player and decent defender. Ricky Moore was the most spectacularly gifted defensive guard we've ever seen at UConn. He struck fear into the heart and mind of the other team's top scorer, game in and game out. No one is actually afraid of Neil. Who kows? Maybe by year's end they will be. But we've seen nothing to indicate that's a sure thing.

-freshman year coaching jitters out of the way for a more seasoned ko

I don't recall seeing any coaching jitters last season. From the first moment, even without a real contract, the man had a well thought out plan, and the utmost confidence in that plan.

In the immortal words of Jim Calhoun, "It's doable."

 

[Huskybass]

To compare anyone to Ricky Moore defensively is just plain silly. Ricky was off the charts defensively.

Must be Friday. I was thinking "I'll have another donut".

But "We'll shock the world" is just as good.

 

[BlueDolphin]

I really want to beat Louisville just once in the regular season...OK...and once more in the AAC tourney

And once more in the Final Four.

 

[Gurleyman]

Close enough. They never actually said "Play it again, Sam" in Casablanca either.

 

[ctchamps]

I'm part of the world and it won't be shocking to me!
