If you were to tell me Soriano only had 4 points that half, and we'd be up 8, I'd be thrilled.

However, I would have hoped the other guys hitting early, would free things up for Joel. Miller seems content to challenge the rest of our guys. We did the job for one half, but if we don't find a way to free Joel more, than do we have another half in us?

Hall over UConn by 5 w 2 minutes left in first half

Soriano forcing his offense but I’m okay with that.

When he shoots from the FT line, the basket is empty for offensive rebounds.

Something to look into going ahead. Send 3 to the rim on those shots.

Btw, this is the most aggressive I’ve seen Taylor all year. I like it

Looks like this may be a breakout game for Alleyne, and not a moment too soon. I like the idea that CRP knew what he had in Alleyne, and was trying other guys, but you can't do that and then also lose close games because of that

(well, admittedly I was looking for a plausible rationale for his limited time…maybe RP just needed more convincing.)

 

[Marillac2]

The help defense Alleyne plays is just bonkers. He makes everyone else on the floor better. Future coach for sure.

the foul shooting was poor but our % of made shots from the field is up nicely

 

[paultzman]

Limiting Olivari to two shots commendable

That aged well

Definitely, a play ahead type concentration & anticipation

+100, he has been their offense in prior games

Definitely, a play ahead type concentration & anticipation

Unfortunately, Dingle is the exact opposite.

 

[NCJohnnie]

Pitino clearly trusts Drissa in limited minutes. Nice to see.

 

[SLYFOXX1968]

I'll be back in the southern half of my basement per SlyFoxx's orders hoping to bring us luck!

That’s great NC Johnnie . Your on a winning streak . I game on to 2 .

Jenkins has done a lot more good than bad today but holy hell, that off balance elbow jumper....STOP

 

[Jack Williams]

bad Jenkins so far this half

 

[gregbodkin]

We're really frustrating them with our D.
