Crank it Up.
The team played well today. USF hit more than a couple of unlikely 3 pointers to keep it close. Collins played well down the stretch to prevent the blowout, overcoming excellent defense against him by Christian et alia.
James Bouknight. Anybody else thinking, "okay, not tooooo much now, young fella." If Bouknight had played all season like he did in the last 15 minutes, he'd be a one and done. Let's hope that he stays another year. If he puts up 4 or 5 more games of dominant play, he's going to start making some draft boards. Just way too much physical talent to go unnoticed. As one of the announcers said, "he does it from all three levels." He had two threes, a monster dunk, a blow by lay in, a breakaway lay in, and an 8 foot floater in the span of 10 minutes. He had 19 points in 16 minutes. That's about 45 per 40. He's on his own level out there.
I loved the soup to nuts defensive intensity out there. With the exception of Collins late, and some garbage time buckets, our team defense was relentless and stout. Looking forward to watching years and years of tenacious defense. I appreciate an opponent's shot clock violation as much as I do a power block or a dunk.
I generally liked Hurley's sub patterns today. I particularly liked Brendon Adams' input. He seemed more natural than usual driving to the rim and shooting pull up 2s. 10 points, 3 boards, 4 assists in 31 minutes. Very nice production.
Hat tip to Christian Vital, who kept us in the lead while we awaited the return of Bouk in the second half. 24 points, 6 boards (led team), 3 assists. Nice game for our leader
Really looking forward to when I can go to a sports website and find UConn's score listed on the splash page for "top 25" rather than have to scroll down to AAC and then load those scores.
