U Conn Game Thread

Somehow Neal is going to need to stay hot and CU absolutely must stay north of 40% from 3.

not to thrilled with the D so far, I think Hurley will adjust in how they play Neal. Right now he is Michael Jordan when a UConn defender is covering him one on one. With Green on the court they have a lot of options to help as he looked afraid to take shots (and I think Hurley would be happy for him to be putting them up).

Need to do some things to get Kalk and Ashworth going, but refs are letting them be physical enough to give us problems

Great half, especially after the way it started. Ratchet up the defensive intensity and hopefully our big two will step up on offense.

That has to be the best half Neal has played in his career…and we needed it.

Ash's 1 handed passes would have driven John Johnette nuts

We have been so spoiled with true point guards who handle the ball exceptionally well, Ash is clearly a tier below that

This next 4 min is critical (Captain Obvious). They and their crowd are feeling it right now. Need someone other than Neal to hit a couple shots.

Karaban 1/5 today

[skinzfan23]

Wow the officiating is getting ridiculous, miller didn’t touch karaban

[section221jay]

Karaban got away with 2 push offs so far...Miller got called with the foul both times

we've been spoiled by having multiple ball handlers on the floor most of the time the past few years. Ash is our only ballhandler and it's allowing teams to tee up on him defensively.

Remember the issues Nembhard had against physical pressure D? Mostly we alleviated that by getting the ball to Trey and letting him be the ballhandler to go after the D in different ways
