Uconn Gamethread

[Pirates13]

When does Willard put Rhoden in with his four fouls. Going to be a key answer down the stretch. Does he wait until UConn goes on their run?

 

[papacheesy2]

Is the floor wet or does Aiken have zero tread on his shoes?

 

[SHUSA]

He's also playing with the starting unit. The supporting cast has been awful for Aiken.

what? we dont have 2 units...

 

[TomD82]

comeon aiken so unnecessary

So true. Akien is not taking this team anywhere. He looks like he can play at the pace and speed of a Gulisppe but cannot finish and does not play as smart.

 

[SHUSA]

wheres the foul? this game will be 3 hours...

 

[TomWall]

Cale!!!!

 

[SHUSA]

cales endurance is 100% right now. taking the press and hitting his shot

 

[TomWall]

And then we fall asleep on D and leave a guy wide-open.

 

[NYC Pirate]

65-59 just over 6 minutes. We just are not getting enough stops. The offense is good.

 

[shu09]

Molson was planted and was outside of the circle so how was it a bad call?

Offensive player was already elevating and in his shooting motion.

 

[SHUSA]

we keep fouling on these prayers

 

[IronKaz1]

we cant get ONE stop

 

[SHUSA]

our d has been failing us. 4 pt game. way too much time. 4 fouls on shav. ugh

 

[TomD82]

News flash for defense. Gaffney is a lefty and goes to his left.

 

[JTSHU]

keep going inside. in the double bonus

 

[SHUSA]

we need a stop like i need a xanax

 

[shu09]

Reynolds and Rhoden with 4 fouls. Need to win this one in regulation.

 

[catholicman]

we cant get ONE stop

The refs keep bailing them out! That's why.

 

[NYC Pirate]

71-67 under 4 minutes. Give UConn credit because they are executing, but they are scoring on every trip. SHU is solid on offense.

 

[SHUSA]

too much time left. just enough time to lose tge lead with 1:20 left

 

[IronKaz1]

Has either team NOT scored in the last 6 minutes? each possession not ONE stop on either side. Gaffney is a bench player right?

 

[JTSHU]

keep going inside and putting pressure on them. just need stops

 

[TomWall]

If we hit our free throws, we can do this. Nail bitter.

 

[flconticello]

what? we dont have 2 units...

Is he playing most of his minutes with the starting 4? No. That last drive Reynolds can't make.

 

[JTSHU]

bryce just has to play smart. Hes got weapons and jacking 3s is not what a pg needs to do

 

[SHUSA]

need a stop like i need 2 xanaxes

 

[NYC Pirate]

75-69 under 2 minutes.

Let’s Go Hall!!!

 

[shu09]

We run terrible offense when we try to kill the clock. Just play!

 

[TomWall]

Terrible set

 

[shu09]

Another clutch shot from Shavar. We got this one now.

 

[SHUSA]

shavar!! play of the game!

sanogo blew it on the pass. my heart

 

[TomWall]

We run terrible offense when we try to kill the clock. Just play!

We cannot wait until six seconds left in the clock to start attacking. We just don’t have penetrator’s good enough to do that.

 

[SPK145]

Good win, time for a little break.

 

[SHUSA]

unconn wasted so much clock their last few possessions. took a load off us

 

[TomWall]

Like I said, if we hit our free throws, we can do this. For once I was right.

 

[catholicman]

Aiken's freethrow shooting is money in the bank!

 

[Jerry1992]

Entertaining game. Excellent win. Nice job by players and coach. Huge shot by Shavar down stretch. Mamu playing much better. Team Hitting free throws. Very big win for our chances to make tournament.

 

[shu09]

Fantastic performance on the foul line today from start to finish.

 

[catholicman]

Very satisfying win!!!

 

[catholicman]

This win ought to get us off the bubble.
