    I have been saying that Roscoe smith is our x factor and intangibles guy and today he was all of that and more. I dont want to hear anymore from all the Scoe haters because Roscoe just shut up everyone with his play today. He saved this game for us and possibly our season. He stole the ball at the end and when Lamb missed the 3 he got his hands on the rebound which hit Oriakhi who hit the lay up. This is the lineup I have been saying all season long with Roscoe at the 3 and not he 4 the 3 where he absoutely excelled today. It was a great team effort obviosuly with Lamb being fantastic and oriakhi playing well especially the second half. Big shot by Napier as well. It was great win. Calhoun finally listened and put Roscoe to his natural position small forward with Oriakhi and Drummond in the post. There should be no more doubt in anyones mind who are starting 5 should be anymore.

    ROSCOE SMITH baby

    Love Roscoe. I think his energy on the floor is absolutely contagious. Total team effort, but Roscoe played his ass off.

    I'm pretty sure he also had a big block that propelled them when down 18 in the first. Also, the 3 ball off of the pass fake not only looked money, but was timely. Great game Scoe!

    The offense gets really stagnant when he's at the 3, but he's back to playing very good D and rebounding. We need to alternate between him and 3 guards.

    Roscoe is the one guy on this team I never get mad at because he always plays hard.

    Scoe played great today.

    This was a great match up for him because he could guard Pinkston. Against a team that goes 3 guards, its gonna be tougher for him.

    He played to his strengths, rebounding and D, and despite Pinkston's game I thought he played very good D on him. This was a game where we needed him, couldn't go three guards because Pinkston was a mismatch for Lamb. Not sure going forward if he should play as many minutes but tonight we definitely needed him and he came through.

    Scoe is an intangible type guy.....he does a little of everything. I really hope he starts the last 3 games.

    Roscoe is a true energy guy both on the boards and defense......throwing the ball in-bounds quite frankly is another matter.

    Scoe did play awesome today. Would love to see him be more consistent, I bet by year 4, he's a force to be reckon with.

    Lamb + Scoe / Daniels / Giffey / Tyler with a good game + inside points = UCONN very hard to beat

    Yes props to RS for the hustle. He really is the only hustle guy we have. Well maybe RB also. He was a key but that baseline shot made me cringe. LOL.

    I like him at the 4 when we have 3 guards. I like him at the 4 if DD or NG is at the 3 also. I like having him on the floor a lot more than not.
