In last night's game Nowell got all of the backup PG minutes and Mahaney did not get off the bench at all, which I think tells us all what Mahaney's future is at UConn. I do not believe he has one. Back in the portal and probably back to the west coast to a mid major program.

Yep, teams gotta get tougher (DH words this week) going forward, even this year to save the season, and unfortunately AM
(a big portal miss in the backcourt) ain't it. Also Reed needs to be starting ( he started the 2nd half) or get alot more PT than Samson. Just on physical presence alone and Tarris improves rebounding tenfold, compared to anything that Johnson can bring. (3.1 rebs a game for a 6-10 starter)

Reed is definitely a better rebounder and scorer than Samson is. But I note that Hurley spent a lot of his post game presser talking about Reed and suggested that he has an on and off switch on his motor and energy and that he will always get 28 minutes when the switch was turned on as it was last night for the better part of the game. I hope he starts Reed against PC Saturday to see if this production will continue. They can certainly use a lift for this game which I suspect isn't going to be easy.
