Providence Post Game Thread

[superjohn]

I can't stand the conference comraderie that has seemed to become more and more common since the mess of realignment really kicked off. It's not just you, it seems to be the entire internet.

Providence sucks. They've pretty much always sucked. Their fans don't think they suck and it makes them incredibly annoying. I cant imagine ever rooting for them.

I've loved the Big East since I was 10 years old.

I'll be rooting hard for Marquette, Creighton, Hall, Johnnies in the tournament.

The Big East is special to me, It's city teams and it's always been an "our thing."

I might be a little quaint but I love it.

I agree Providence is douchy and their fans act like jerks. I also hate the way the league is reffed but I do think it puts an uber talented team like us at an advantage when we leave league to play because we've had to fight through everything.

He just said he liked the Big East. I think we all do. Screw all the other teams. I like being on top. I don’t really care if they win, as long as we win more.

PC probably just earned the right to play more home games this season.

Flushed that turd of a program down the toilet. Very satisfying. I might try to get tickets for their first game next year to see that NIT appearance banner go up.

Nice to see us rebound after a horrible start. Castle offense returns and Samson Johnson sighting is nice. Now on to NYC and winning the BE Tourney. Our 2nd goal. Go UCONN!

That is some funny stuff.

Went to the game, was behind the basket in section 101. Saw Seeing Hurley on TV doesn’t do it any justice seeing him in person he’s an absolute nut but he’s our nut. I know this game looked meaningless on the surface, you better not tell Hurley that, last 2 games on the road, no practice can duplicate that, can take alot of lessons from this.

Could tell this one was personal for Hurley, place was so freaking loud especially when he picked up the T couldnt hear my own voice and went quite real fast, in the blink of an eye.

Seeing a grown man pee cee fan holding a 20oz Truly hard seltzer chirping at Hurley after the game perfectly sums up pee cee fan base.

Jim Jackson dominoes nick 'em to death comment in the first half was great.

Samson's first stint in first half was gawd awful. Helluva in-game adjustment by Slamson.

I still say not even sending the staff or scholarship players and having Mamadou coach a team of walk-ons was the right way to play tonight. Getting down 15-2 and then clubbing PC like baby seals is a real close second of how I wanted this game to play out.
Loved Danny getting Andrew in the game at the end.

Hearing that Hurley was pointing at his ring ringer to the guy, and that PC fan supposedly got into it with other UConn fans and they yelling NIT NIT.

Does anyone know what the technical on Providence was? They come back from the commercial and Spencer's at the line but they never explained it? Unless I missed something?

They never even mentioned Spencer was at the line shooting techs.

Looking at the game tracker, it was a tech on English but who knows why…

7:26		+1	Cam Spencer makes technical free throw 2 of 2	21-21
7:26			Cam Spencer misses technical free throw 1 of 2
7:26			Kim English technical foul
7:26		+2	Stephon Castle makes two point layup	20-21

Samson takes a beating in these post game threads, he deserves alot of props tonight, he played very well on both ends.

He outplayed Oduro in parts of the game refs were watching him like a hawk on those moving screens he got called on. He gives us 6 and 5 thats all we need, well be in very good shape.

 

[willie99]

We're special, it's that simple. I just enjoy watching games and not really worrying about anything

Reminds me of last March in the dance

 

[Icehawk]

Yeah, that tech was weird - they haven't been good all season explaining them or even acknowledging all of them. I assume it was similar to DH's.

That Clingan 3, I started laughing so hard. What a way to end a (regular) season! Can't wait to see what they do next.

 

[Rich]

Providence and I are the same-we both peaked too early.

 

[UCfor3]

The Samson moving screen call is becoming the Purvis step out of bounds thing. Should be a drinking game. Is he often guilty? Sure. With that said, not sure you can convince me the refs aren't looking to call it immediately every time. Like the 3rd straight game.

I missed the T-Swift sing-along last night. I was either in the can or they don't partake when getting boatraced by 26 points. Glad we could make it a senior night to remember for the worst fans in the conference.

 

[Khal Drogo]

I have a lovely wife, a wonderful son, great parents, two cats that I love more than life itself, but I wake up every morning smiling, and thank the Good lord for Danny Hurley and the Connecticut UConn Huskies. God is good.

Ugh two Cats. So sorry dude.

Next year I want to see how the BE sets up our home schedule at the end of the season. They clearly wanted us to lose on the road the last quarter of the season this year. Creighton, MQ and PC all away on second matchup.

AD Dave needs to have some input on that.

Attending the first open practice was a real treat. If you are close by and they offer an open practice to the public, I suggest going. But I think only Season ticket holders can go. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Hankster]

Hurley got a T.
Clingan hit a 3.
UConn won by double digits.

Works for me.

Great game. Great season. #1 in the BE, 28-3 on the year and 18-2 in the BE. The best regular season in BE history.

Let’s go win some trophies. Let’s go Huskies!

Clingan is 2-2 from three point line this year. Both top of the key with nobody guarding him. DH may run a play for him.

I thought he was either 2 for 2 or 2 for 3, but I looked it up and he's 2 for 6. I guess he had a lot of forgettable misses.

This is gold

A bunch of UConn fans yelling Providence sucks and taunting their fans on the road like we have some inferiority complex. Not sure this shows what you think it does

 

[Rocktheworld]

What a quote.

 

[microfich]

What's your strategy, Kim? Get under the skin of a team of Champions by shoving, elbowing and bumping during dead balls?
Congratulations on the embarrassing loss. You clearly have a good idea of what it's like to have dead balls.

IMO. Ok if it is Student v Student but did care for this.
