Said this to another UConn fan in Brooklyn. Did not know him but we were chatting and high giving through the game. Early second half I said to him it looks like we are INEVITABLE…… great post. Sums it up.
And the old Big East never played offense like we do.Inevitable? Yes. The script was so familiar…close in the first half, gain a bit of separation at the half, avalanche in the second half. (Except for the times that the avalanche came in the first half.)
Old Big East style? Ehhhhhh…..not so much. Really good defensively, but not trying to murder anyone - unlike the classic Big East defenses.
when you have guys like Chevon Troutman trying out for the NFL after finishing with Pitt basketball, you know you have a man's league.I'm with those who do NOT think we resemble the old BE. The old BE was rough tumble. John Turner used to hit guys with a baseball bat. Guys were slaughtered going into the lane. There is no one like the old Pitt or Georgetown teams.
DeJuan Blair? Chevon Troutman?Who was the big man on Pitt that could have been arrested for assault every game?

Wait for shot clock to wind down to 10, get the ball to Dyson and watch him drive and get mauled.We never played offense like we do now.
I will always bow at the altar of JC but if I had a dime back for every time we complained about UConn's lack of a half court offense, I could have funded KO's settlement.
