Shocked

Seton Hall was up four when he picked up his third and went to the locker room with what appeared to be an ankle injury.
Which helped Seton Hall continue to attack the rim and dominate in the paint.
I am most shocked by the fact that they won this game making only 3 - three point shots.

Only took eight 3's as UCONN was really keying on Dawes. Great game plan to attack the rim.
Clingan sprained his ankle.
A shocking result. That’s not the team we saw all year but what’s great about it is they did it with tenacity and smart play. It was rocky early but we found our footing defensively and played the best defensive game all year.
The offense was smart. Attacked. Did what these players do best. Impressive.
Down 10 to win by 15? And only 3/8 from 3 to do it.

Was it our 3 point defense or was their shot selection bad or just a cold night?Suspect it was a combustion of all three.
Have no idea what you’re talking about. My post was in reference to Seton Hall only making 3 - three point attempts. I assumed we would have had to make a lot more to hang with them.
In regards to UConn’s long distance futility. I attribute this to 3 things.
1. The Hall did an excellent job of switching 1-4 on the perimeter which negated a lot of their off the ball screen action.
2. Bediako did a great job of hedging the pick and roll action. UConn did get some dive action to the rim in the first half but it minimized the 3 point looks.
3. Lastly the Clingan injury had a major impact. In the first half the Huskies made a conscious effort to feed the post which caused us to double team. If he played the entire game, I think you would have seen some more open looks with the ball getting kicked out of the post. Johnson conversely was a non-factor and created a big edge for the Hall.
Anyone surprised that a Uconn player immediately grabbed his hand and helped him up? His face said it all, he was in a lot of pain. I'm not sure why they didn't let him stay down and wait for the trainer.
Great points. I think with Bediako in, we were actually switching 1 - 5 at times. He is amazingly agile playing d 20 feet from basket. Also why our pick and roll d is so much better. He can hard hedge and recover to his man. Something Samuel could not do and EHE has to work on.

We had a few big possessions after going down 20-10 and things were teetering. There was an immediate 6-0 by The Hall (Wusu/Davis 3's). Then Clingan scored, and Richmond got an OR and-1 play to make it 22-19. We got a stop and another driving layup from Richmond to make it 22-21, then another stop and a quick 2 from Richmond who was in the post and backed down Newton for a 23-22 lead.
I thought that was a huge swing. Crowd was popping. A rapid 13-2 run.

We played well for 40 minutes; attacking the rim on offense and playing in your face defense. It was a fun game all around!
