38-38 at the half keep it up just gotta hit their free throws in 2nd half

30 foot shot by Jones

Well he showed me. Very entertaining half.

 

[sjc88]

Just not a smart, well coached team. Playing hard is laudable I guess, not enough to compete in BE

True. However, throwing the ball up is not playing hard it’s playing stupid. Most of the time they are turnovers. Eh, just frustrating.

Well he showed me. Very entertaining half.

Since Jones has been benched, his shot selection has improved greatly. He was way too comfortable in the starting lineup just chunking up shots.

No need to continue Curbelo Globetrotter audition in second half

I now remember why I hate PUCONN so much.

Team did what it needed to do in first half. Played good defense. Played under control. Only fault is the pathetic free throw shooting. We dint have that margin for error. Let’s hope UCONN doesn’t adjust and can continue to muck it up. Let’s get Soriano more looks too.

Keep going hard to the hole and draw fouls on UConn. I thought our defense improved as the half wore on. Playing a herky jerky game with no tempo favors us. First five minutes of the second half will be telling. Go Johnnies!

 

[Moon Mullen]

This is a game they can win so they better. They have left themselves no other choice.

 

[paultzman]

4 assists, 7 SJ turnovers not good

uUConn had 9 TOs

 

[paultzman]

As Boo noted, driving ball was muchbbetter than usually hurling threes and they also got some nice mid range jumpers

Our bad habits and chaotic style is wearing off on Uconn. I hope these kids bring the fight in the second half and keep it competitive. All I ask for is that we compete.

We need to part ways with Curbelo after this year. Jones can be wild too, but he has talent and appears to be coachable unlike Andre.

Hey, it got Willie Shaw a career!

 

[espken]

Regardless who stays and who goes, we need an efficient offensive blueprint. Hero ball can only take you so far.

 

[redmaninalbany]

Hurley will make the second half adjustments and CMA won't.

Hurley is a great recruiter but no better a coach on the floor than Anderson.

 

[paultzman]

Kind of see why Illini HC drove Curbelo here when he transferred

 

[Johnny Rapper]

Johnnies have been a lousy 2nd half team, let’s hope that there are adjustments and that changes today.

 

[paultzman]

First 5 minutes of second half

We can't afford to part ways with anyone . Curbelo is crazy but if his energy is channeled properly he can be effective. Something the staff has not figured out nor will.
