Could be another one of those games we get off to a slow start and we take over the game after a while due to sheer determination.
 
What do you guys think, -12 or -13? We should win this fairly easy. Maybe we cant pull away to +20 but I'd imagine it's a comfortable lead the whole game between 10-15 point. Man, I really wish UCONN was where they use to be it would make for a tense weekend.

I'm guessing -14
 
Larrier has been out for a while and he will be back for our game so they won’t be the same Uconn team
 
He played against UCF. He looked good.

Evans will guard him most likely. Watched UConn a lot this year. Contain Adams and laurrier and that's it. Our bigs should have a field day. Wondering how packed there house will be. If not many people we will best then from the jump. I say 15 to 20, if there house is full, I say they stay with us for five minutes and then we beat them by 15 to 20. Time for Washington to string together another big one. I say he will lead team in scoring vs UConn.
 
Game is Saturday at noon on ESPN2
So I need to leave to coach my son's team at halftime. How long does it normally take ESPN to put the replay up on their website? And do they do that for all their games or just the ones from ESPN?

The game will be live streamed from the Watch ESPN website so that means as soon as the live broadcast ends, the replay will become immediately available on their site.
 
The only thing I want to see is a 12-4 lead or something of the sort by the under 16 timeout. Figure out why we start games so slow and put an end to it. As much fun as Wednesday's game was, I really don't enjoy being down 18 points.

This has been an on going trend for weeks now. Obviously not to the degree of an 18 point deficit but our slow starts. At what point does Cronin identify something about our starting lineup just isn't getting it going to start games? Is it as simple as Broome starting over Jennifer? I don't know but these starts will kill us against better competition.

Idk about the slow starts but Broome needs to play better no matter when he's in. His passing has left a lot to be desired. He gets very sloppy.

Is it the lineup or the offense? I’m asking cause I don’t know. I’d start Broome to help set the pace for sure, but I also wonder if we shouldn’t just be starting the game through Gary. Maybe we hve been I haven’t been paying that close attention.

We have been gong inside but in some cases we have not finished. Regardless who starts the game we need to take care of the ball and hit some shots.

Your right. It has been a much bigger transition for him then many have realized. Scoring 20 a game when you don't have to involve your teammates is not nearly as hard as running a game plan and executing your offense. Plus he has to guard now. Fans fall in love with splash or wow plays and some overlook what really is needed to win the game. If he plays good defense and takes care of the ball and scores in the flow if the game we will be fine. When he is in the game with Evans, Cumberland, Kyle and Gary he isn't and shouldn't be the first option on offense.

I get what you're saying but why would Cronin recruit an established scoring point guard and tout his offensive abilities the entire past year, only to put him in for d and assist?
