Good night. This has been a **** weekend. Let's hope for better days.

? I think beating a #1 always makes for a good weekend.

Holmes should be off ball IMO. Offense ran better through Tamin

Holmes, along with most others, didn’t have it tonight. Tamin is the clear cut floor general out there.

 

[NorthCyd]

Will we be ranked?

Yes.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

He’s the lowest IQued offensive player I’ve ever seen, but almost the complete opposite on defense.

I don't think it has anything to do with IQ. The guy might just forever be in his own head when it comes to his jump shot

 

[madguy30]

Well, this went about as well as yesterday. Damn. So high and back to Earth fast!

Haha, yesterday was way worse. ISU got it to 5 and UConn answered.

 

[cycophagus]

Dominated by UConn. ... but thankfully not a single ST gaff!!

 

[enisthemenace]

How to beat ISU: You shut down Holmes and Grill and let everyone else shoot.

We need at least one more consistent shooter to step up. Preferably Lipsey.

Not sure I agree. We got destroyed on the glass tonight. I mean…destroyed. Another shooter ain’t helping that.

We're just like the football team if you equate special teams to rebounding

Who is your favorite emo band? I really like The Used.

Great learning experience! Team looked a step slow and tired tonight. Just lacked that extra juice. I’m calling it now UConn is going to win the Big East and be a 1 or 2 seed. They have obliterated everyone so far and have all the pieces…………

Depth, size, great guards and shooters, solid defensively.

Iowa State had a good tournament. Onto the next.

The original design before Green didn't come and Williams got hurt was exactly that. He's playing point out of necessity.

Love Tamin. Not sure we will miss Hunter too much outside of maybe this current season.

Just because they beating us doesn't mean they are great. They are good but I don't think they are as good as we are making them look.

Well then UNC and Villanova suck and those wins aren’t going to look so hot come March. Seriously UConn has serious talent and are a very good TEAM. They gel very well.

As others have said, UNC is way over ranked honestly. Should have never been a #1 team based on their schedule and wins. Portland almost beat them.

 

[ExCyment]

Not sure if he’s s always like this, but he’s been coming across as a clueless clown all night. Definitely not a fan.

He's always like that. Sadly, some people like it.

 

[HFCS]

Just lost by 20 to the #18 team. UNC lost again today. I doubt it. Our #1 win won’t look that decent later in the year unfortunately. Nova got blasted by Portland..

So UConn’s ranking is set in stone? Dumb.

 

[Aduhbolu15]

Offense worse than last year but defense is better.

 

[NorthCyd]

Just because they beating us doesn't mean they are great. They are good but I don't think they are as good as we are making them look.

They have pretty much dismantled every team they've played this year, including a pretty good Alabama team, and just won one of the toughest tournaments. They are pretty damn good.
