*** Official Uconn vs IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

[JUKEBOX]

UConn's going to Iowa State the second half. We got this!

Our defense was pretty good. They just couldn't miss even with hands in their face.

Yeah generally speaking the 3's were contested, UConn just kept hitting them.

We are 2-6 from 3
UCONN is 7-12

We need to be more aggressive on the perimeter. Passed up some decent shots.

UConn likes to play basketbrawl. They got called for a bunch of fouls and should have been called for at least 4-6 more. Getting away with tons of pushing and handchecks. Way different style than any Big 12 team and that's showing through.

Really no different than the style of K-State and West Virginia. Please don't start blaming the refs. I get really tired of that from this fan base.

Hopefully UConn thinks they got this and forget what we did to Baylor in the second half of the Big 12 Championship.

Exactly!!! Shot 23% first half against Baylor...

Why was a dude on an elliptical?

****** knees? That's why I use an elliptical.

Based on my analysis of the losses UConn had a key stat was there 3 pt fg %. I believe every loss it was below 40%. Right now they r shooting 58% from 3.

husband was at the gym and turned the game on on an elliptical so he could see it from a weight machine.

Some biatch wearing an Hok shirt came out, turned off that tv..........then used a DIFFERENT elliptical.

Maybe she was just doing a good deed by turning off the TV on an unused machine?

I love Ejim to death, but it's obvious that these UConn bigs are bothering him a lot. He can't get anything off inside without them altering his shot. UConn is blocking everything he throws up there.

I think we have to get Kane penetrating the lane and either scoring himself or dishing it out for open 3's... and then we need to hit the 3's.

Ejim and Hogue's jobs are going to be as garbage men. Get offensive rebounds and putbacks. I don't know if they can score in the offensive set inside?

Come on Big 12 player of the year

 

[heitclone]

Needs lots more Ejim, he's playing timid. Morris has played great, seems like things have gone better when he brings ball up versus Kane.

He was using free weights.

Edit - weight machine.

:no:

too few points in the paint; that's where we win.

They arent calling anything, time to hammer Napier.

Hogue is doing fine.

exactly, the fouls were in our favor 7-2 anyway.

ejim hasn't been good at finishing around the rim at all this year

I can't understand why Melvin does everything right to get the shot but can't finish if it isn't a dunk.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

Tough challenge. We clearly miss Georges on offense and having Palo available would have been nice to try on Napier.

 

[cmjh10]

Very few fouls called first half=everything being called in the second half.
