Off to a 9-0 start with a face pace and Bouknight shot perfection. Georgetown is mared by turnovers and one missed shot trips.
Despite the good start, Chief doesn’t like the quick whistle stripes who keep putting Georgetown on the line for over half their points. Still we are starting to become the team of healthy double digit leads against conference teams. Quite frankly, a trend Chief likes.
The Dam Break kids (Bouknight 21 points and Gaffney 15 points ) are knocking down threes and Gaffney is now consistently showing the athleticism that Chief has said he’s demonstrated in practice all along.
Polley still doesn’t look comfortable in his shot prep but did hit 3 threes today, and if that ever gets remedied along with everything else our offense has now - that might be the knockout punch. Cole’s shot was also off today (1-7) and he was shaky with the ball and decision making, despite his recent excellent play and over 8 assists today on a hot shooting team. He needs to be reminded again, the best player on the court is on his team and it’s not him. No disrespect, just reality. Bouknight could have had an easy 30 today. But, spreading the wealth in a comfortable win is good for team morale.
Sanogo is starting to dominant both offensively and rebounding in the paint. Double / Double today. His defense has improved as well. Just needs to avoid fouls to get more minutes and consistency. Team rebounding UConn is up 23 to 9 at the half.
Kellogg picked up on Jackson’s passing, seeing the same gifted thing as Chief and others have seen.
Georgetown shot and played better the second half and while UConn maintained a decent but fluctuating lead it did not demonstrate the killer instinct Chief and I am sure Danny is looking for.
On to the Big East tournament and March Madness - NEXT team up!
