To be fair both games were dog fights (leg wise)… depth plays a big factor here on outIs Marquette going to have the legs to play us tomorrow after all that dancing in the locker room after beating St John’s in overtime?

Jokes aside, UConn has proven tired-ness is over-rated for back to back games. Mental toughness is the key to tournament play. I think the Huskies are back to playing with something to prove.Both played 9 guys, but Marquette had one over 40 and three over 30. UConn had only Jackson and Hawk over 30.
UConn shouldn't have too much wear.
I kinda feel the same thing.Clingan for whatever the reason didn’t have much of an impact against PC. He’s due for a big game.
Tomorrow's game against Marquette will be interesting as I think it's our Big's production versus their backcourt production.
Dominate the boards and control Kolek's penetration and kick will be critical. Marquette not very big as we know so I really would not be
surprised to see Shaka play zone more than they like. I have seen them play zone quite a bit more over the 2nd half of the season. Both team's are tough as it is good for the Big East to be represented well come NCAA's in another week.
I think Clingan scored 20 in our loss against them. For some reason things like that seem to matter. Happens often. Here’s hoping!Clingan for whatever the reason didn’t have much of an impact against PC. He’s due for a big game.

Hard to see how St. John's even got this go to OT, other than FTs, and out-rebounding them by 9. St. John's shot 30%, 33% from 3. They were 20-24 from the line, while Marquette was 9-12.
Start Jackson on Kolek?
St Johns was on fire in the first half from three. I think they were 6-12 in the first half, which means they were 2-12 in the 2nd and OTHard to see how St. John's even got this go to OT, other than FTs, and out-rebounding them by 9. St. John's shot 30%, 33% from 3. They were 20-24 from the line, while Marquette was 9-12.
Start Jackson on Kolek?
He just needs to slow down a bit, and he can learn from Adama in that respect. It seems like whenever he gets the ball he’s in a rush and doesn’t use his fundamentals to finish a layup/dunk. He got burned a couple times by Ben Gold last game, but he should be able to dominate him in the post.Clingan for whatever the reason didn’t have much of an impact against PC. He’s due for a big game.
What’s crazy is that St Johns missed a number of point blank layups in the second half. As in pregame warmup layup line gimme’s.Hard to see how St. John's even got this go to OT, other than FTs, and out-rebounding them by 9. St. John's shot 30%, 33% from 3. They were 20-24 from the line, while Marquette was 9-12.
Start Jackson on Kolek?
That last 19 seconds in regulation, down by one with the. ball, I thought they had it in the bag. Call timeout and run a play? No go 1 on 3 and lose the possession.St Johns could've and should've won that game.
