SJU 50-32 Halftime
Balanced attack
Deivon running the show, with Kadary and Sim in foul trouble

 

[TX Redman]

Hanging half a century on Yukon by halftime - how does that MacDonalds jingle go? Ba ba ba ba I'M LOVIN' IT!

 

[ptc666]

Great first half!!!! Now need to keep it going for another 20 minutes. No let up!!! I worry that the 3s and free throws are going down; that is not how we win. Great minutes from the bench with Lefty, Ayo and Prey. Even Vince in that last 15ish seconds. He served his purposes to protect RJ from any dumb fouls. And all of this with Kadary not cooking

 

[Marillac2]

Great defense to end the half. UConn players fighting each other now.

Ayo shutdown their PG the possession after defending their center. That’s back-breaking to be able to pull someone off the bench so that.

 

[Spocky Ramone]

A helluva half! We extended the lead with Richmond on the bench for the last 8 or 9 minutes of the first half.

Key point!

 

[Boo Harvey]

Ayo with great energy and hustle.

Love what Ayo brings. We don’t skip a beat on D when he’s in. He’s long and athletic. Great bench piece

 

[MJDinkins]

Gus Johnson has lost his mind

And you're just figuring that out?

Let’s go RJ.

I love RJ!!!

 

[SJU2000alum15]

kicked their ass with Kadary sitting most of the half with 2 fouls major props to the minutes Lefty and Ayo gave us!

 

[espken]

That last UConn possession was like the USSR - USA 1972 gold medal game, lol

 

[gman]

A beating of UConn. I love it!

 

[redmanwest]

Just wow. A LOT of game left but an almost perfect half.

 

[austour]

Many years ago, when I first started posting I was informed that the proper vernacular when referring to the University of Connecticut is “Yukon” not UConn. I think we need to get our heads right and back to basics around here.

The original iteration of redmen.com automatically replaced Uconn with Yukon in every post. It was great.

 

[RedStormNC]

Wilcher - 1 minute w/ 2 fouls

Will see if Pitino uses him in 2nd half or sticks with Ayo & Lefty

 

[tnice]

They can come out in the 2nd half as fired up as they want, we got a lot of minutes from our bench so we'll be rested and ready to put the clamps on them.

 

[Larry Wright]

And you're just figuring that out?

Much worse

 

[MugCostanza]

Know we’ve been making our 3s this game but wouldn’t stay in love with that shot in the 2nd half. Take em if you’re open but don’t force em. Stick to what we’ve been doing well all season.

Only way UConn gets back in this game is if they start making their 3s and we take and miss too many

 

[SJU2000alum15]

Key is come out and start second half strong don’t give them any hope at all!

 

[redmannorth]

I love RJ!!!

Contrary to Marillayo I love everyone on this team. let’s go Redmen.

I think a lot of us were guilty of forgetting at Ayo was ranked the 4th or 5th best player in NYS the year he graduated. He didn't do much first couple years of college, but Iona was a lower level than he was expected to go to. Definitely looking like he belongs in BE.
