Loved Solo’s game tonight. His first 2 shots were attacking the rim and that led to him having a lot more confidence shooting those 3s after starting out that way. He looked like a much more confident player out there who was looking to attack and be a threat.

Hope he keeps that kind of play up.

Cam is probably one of the best shooters I’ve seen wear a UConn uniform.

I sleep so well after games like this.

I’m the exact opposite. I stay wired for hours.

-Clingan looks so clumsy this year. I really think the foot is taking a lot out of him rn , Beast on D tho still.

I agree. A few times, late in the game, he was on the floor from what appeared to be incidental contact.

Good to see AK get his mojo bacl that second half. He'll be dangerous.

Clingan looking young out there vs the vets at times. Still a defensive beast, but needs to play with more IQ on when to swat or stay straight up.

DC also looks much better when he doesn't post up. His % when he dribble 3+ times is abysmal. I want him rim running and putting that passing IQ to work.

Solo is going to be dangerous, dangerous next season. He'll be an Andre level defender before too long. Next step is violentally finishing at the rim like he did at Brewster.

Castle is so under control and comfortable attacking. Great rebounder and makes the right read almost always. He's going to be special, and very soon.

DC looks like a newborn colt out there sometimes. Really needs to be able to finish in traffic, preferably with a 2-handed dunk.

Hurley on Solo: "I told you"

 

[superjohn]

That was a 3 hour UConn commercial tonight.

 

[TXHuskyFan]

Not sure if it’s been said yet, but started another non-conference win streak of 10+. Against a top 10 team also. Saturday should be #2 and on to Seattle.

Spencer for Timberlake. Man you just never know.

The thought of not having Spencer and having Timberlake just made me throw up in my mouth. Thank the basketball lords UConn has Spencer.

How does one get some sleep after a game like this? I may have to watch a tape of the Giants/Pats game.

I am a die hard Giants fan, but that gave me a good laugh. Giants-Pats game is the Toilet Bowl

My entire section threw their hands up in disgust when he attempted to one hand that alley oop instead of going up with both hands lol

 

[Rings R Us]

Still happy you chose the creepy Duke baby over us, Cooper?!

Great game. I didn't really feel any doubt even when they came back to cut it to 5 with 12 minutes to go. Nice to see Ball not score from 3 but also drive a couple times. I hope we keep seeing this forward. He is going to be a special one. Good to see Karban rebound from 3 sub par performances. Cam was the best player and Newton was his steady self. We have a great backcourt. Good to see Castle back out there and contribute. He is going to be great once he gets back up to game speed. Clingan just looks slower. I guess that foot is still causing him issues. He doesn't look like a first rounder right now. Also, shoutouts to Diarra and Johnson for contributing.

Our guards are tremendous rebounders. Newton we knew. But Spencer really seems to relish mixing it up. Ball too. Castle too.

Hurley has a type.

Spencer got a couple huge rebounds in the middle of the trees on 2 bad feet.

 

[3rdbass]

Wait until we’re healthy, that’s all I’ll say.

And Ball and Castle fully develop.

 

[90BSEE]

Really strong team. FTs are one of the keys to going deep in March. First, they need to get more calls. Second they need to make more of the chances they do get. Hurley has to work on repairing the relationships with the refs. That won't be easy. I am guessing there were some ugly conversations behind closed doors last summer regarding our treatment by the BE refs last year

Said it last year and will say it again - for me, perhaps the most impressive part of DH's last couple years has been his ability to find the right parts in the portal to fit what he's looking for. Seems he just doesn't miss. Newton, Cam, Joey C, Hass, even Alleyne. Can't think of another top coach who's found hidden gems in the portal as well as DH.

Yeah it surprised me he was only 3-9 on 3 pt shots. I thought he did better.

 

[InTheRed]

Powder blue was our opponent tonight. They are not as good as they are ranked. We have bigger aspirations than beating these guys.

 

[aburks41]

@husky429 not dogging on you but just curious if you’ve changed your mind on Solo’s handling abilities. They looked pretty impressive tonight once again lol

 

[MDHuskFan]

Still amazed by the team’s rebounding effort. 39 boards, only 7 from the center position.

Great to see Solo finally put it all together, you could see his confidence soar out there.

Solos best games were ranked Texas & UNC…. Sophomore Solo will be a DOG

I think 2nd half of the season he will be a DOG. He is already showing signs. Just needs to get confidence. Like I said in the another post it is nice to see him drive and not just settle for 3s to start the game.

UConn stakes its latest claim as nation’s best as Huskies overpower North Carolina

Alex Karaban watches 3-pointer fall as he and UConn defeat North Carolina Tuesday. At 8-1, Huskies rebounded from loss at Kansas to repositi...

Yeah…I think our opponents fans are gonna have a rough year with that. Here’s an example from one of the Carolina boards.

This might be the ultimate UNC compliment:

Feels like Cam has 2-3 3s rim out on him every game

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

I remember Rutgers' fans trying to claim that Cam wouldn't move the needle against real competition and would pad his stats against cupcakes. Bozos.
