Kalk is mostly a non-factor so far. This game would be ugly without Neal.

Neal's kept us in this, along with the quick lineup changes by Mac.

refs are pretty friendly to how UConn wants to play today, making it tough for Kalk to get a shot off without a 1-2 hacks

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

Say what you want about Nick Bahe, he's not an obvious homer when calling CU games nationally.

Donny Marshall is freaking ridiculous

Miller has done a very good job on Karaban. Great finish to the half.

What a great ending to the half! Neal with yet another great bucket and Traudt drawing the foul and hitting all the shots and then Mac using the foul to give (not sure why the fans were booing, foul was clearly on the floor)

Ha, a fitting end to the half. Uconn's aggressive closeout leads to 3 free throws and Shane Thomas with the galaxy brain defensive play to prevent the buzzer beater.

Kalk has been off on offense, but everyone is playing extremely focused. Taking care of the ball.

Agree, I hate listening to Marshall. Jess Settles calling an Iowa game is actually hilarious. Iowa gets blown by on d and he will make a comment on how good Iowas d is.

If you told me that Kalk and ash combined only had 9 pts in the first half, I would have thought we would be down double digits.

Credit to everyone that has played today, they have all had positive moments!
