Great Teams find a way to win

[husky429]

Our shooting was abysmal, and we still destroy them in crunch time.

This team has too many ways to win. Too many weapons--it's just a matter of finding the right lineup.

 

[Kitaman]

Road game, 20+ point win, no complaints.

 

[shizzle787]

We go a true 8 deep with zero drop-off. I’m not sure there is another team in the country like that.

 

[husky429]

20 assists on 28 made shots.

Rebounding. Toughness. Elite defense. That ball movement and defense is a security blanket for bad shooting we haven't had in a decade.

Need all those people sayin we were better with Clingan on the court over sanogo to eat a whole plate of crow tonight. No knock on Clingan, but Sanogo is the All-American center (this year).

 

[Brochacho]

Might've been the worst we've seen them play. Still won by 20, on the road, in a Q1 game. Wagon.

Great effort on the boards by the team. Good game by Alleyne. All-American performance by Sanogo.

We go a true 8 deep with zero drop-off. I’m not sure there is another team in the country like that.

And one of our original starters is out!

 

[JMick]

This team just pours it on when it gets into a tough spot. It seems like every game when it starts to get tight, you blink and they're up double digits.

Had a tough time defensively. He isn't going to clown on every All-Conference level big. Couple TOs.

Karaban did a lot well...solid rebounding and passing. just need his shot to start falling.

 

[inWV]

Sanogo took over the game. Having Clingan keeps Adama’s legs fresh. Will mean Ws in conference play.

 

[warbler1055]

Tough game. Lots closer than the score indicated. On the road, physical game and a big W, no complaints.

 

[Kenny11]

So many ways to win. And when all else fails, we have a veteran superstar.

 

[Brochacho]

And one of our original starters is out!

Honestly, a starting lineup of Diarra, Joey C, Alleyne, Johnson and Clingan might be better than what Georgetown and DePaul roll out. 10-deep team.

 

[phillionaire]

We’re really good and I just think that’s neat

Clingan was very impressive as well but you just can’t run an offense through him the way you can Sanogo.

Definitely agree with you, the way we separate from teams is special

 

[Scoe]

I think Sanogo reads the boneyard.

 

[JMick]

that's the craziest part. "Feed the All-American" is like plan C.

 

[Kmba2Rmemba]

They probably thought they had a chance to win when down only 4

I’m sure Adama had some thoughts on that

 

[Peacefrog]

"They thought they had a chance to win the game tonight; they did not." A.S.

 

[80shusky]

Terrible shooting and still win by 22 on the road against a good team. It was weird, it was tight, tight, tight and I thought it might go down to the end of the game like that and suddenly UConn is up 18. Sanogo put the team on his back. Nice to see Alleyne have some success scoring.
Edited to add 20 assists on 28 made field goals. That's good right?

 

[UCLJ0211]

Honestly, a starting lineup of Diarra, Joey C, Alleyne, Johnson and Clingan might be better than what Georgetown and DePaul roll out. 10-deep team.

I think that team would be better than half of the Big East teams.

Agreed. Every time I see the question “who is our best player”? My answer is Sanogo…. Every. Single. Time.

 

[80shusky]

They did not.

 

[Scrappy3]

Adama is under rated. He’s a Zach Randolph type and he’ll be a very good nba player beyond UConn
