Huge, gutty W for Uconn. Ball shot the lights out and Karaban played well.

Ball is key for us. He can't guard a chair, but he can fill it up.

Such a talented scorer IMO. Especially as a shooting threat.

Currently 6th the country at 3 point %. He's keeping us afloat until McNeeley gets back.

Scary to think we have three games against those teams.
Is Ball a first round pick in the spring? McNealy is. Wonder if Karaban [still] is a mid- to-late second rounder now.

Uconn needed that win as they were trending towards being in the 7/10 or 8/9 game. Also, forgot that McNealy has been out for a few weeks. When he comes back, could see then getting on a run and making some serious noise in BET and NCAA

 

[MBF72]

UCONN will be fine. I expect St. John's to come back to earth this month.

SJ can’t shoot the 3 ball with any consistency. If that continues, it really limits their upside, especially in the NCAAT.

Think the same, but read an article the other day about teams 3% not necessarily being tied to tournament success, even in more recent times. For example, I think it said the team Pitino won the title with at Louisville (one with Russ Smith and Silva) was ranked in the 200s nationally in 3%.
