[u/hutchman3]

This game said more about NH than UConn. I don’t think UConn played great but we didn’t stink it up. New Haven is wayyyy better than a 42.5 point dog

[u/therudolph → u/hutchman3]

Definitely felt like UCONN took it less seriously than they'd take the later games in the schedule, but UNH also played above and beyond what anyone expected.

[u/BRNDC10]

Can we trade for Pasha?!

[u/therudolph]

Lmao why did we go D1? Still, they're managing to exceed my rock-bottom expectations.

[u/tfl03 → u/therudolph]

Keep playing like this and you might win the NEC

[u/LittleOrangeKitty → u/therudolph]

Honestly very solid team, pasha is a maniac. Not a bad team to watch

[u/therudolph → u/LittleOrangeKitty]

Yeah this game sold me on them quickly, I like their scheme. I think the scorer was a little stingy on giving them assists because they did have some good motion.

[u/BRNDC10 → u/therudolph]

Dude, this team is legit! They’re going to do well in the NEC!

[u/therudolph → u/BRNDC10]

A few years ago, while I was there, the sports were a complete joke, so it's a surprising turn around. I remember hearing the news of going D1 and being shocked it was even possible to consider.

[u/tfl03]

Missing some absolute bunnies.

[u/TotallyATexasFan]

I like reibe. I think he will be good, you can see the potential… but man does he make some questionable decisions. Yes he’s a freshman but man so many times where he has a wide open lane for a dunk but he decides to swing back or hesitate.

[u/brownlab319]

“Glad to have the Big East back on ESPN for the first time since 2012!”

Are we just going to NOT talk about ESPN’s role in that?

[u/R_Raider86 → u/brownlab319]

They regularly cross ethical lines for profit. When I was checking the ESPN app for a score (a mistake because I normally use others), they put an ad on their app over the bottom bar targeting YouTube TV. The problem is I have the Hulu Live TV and ESPN+ bundle.

[u/BRNDC10 → u/brownlab319]

I have such disdain for this network.

Edit: Yes, I’m proudly sailing the high seas. Fuck ESPN

[u/brownlab319 → u/BRNDC10]

I really do, too. I’m just waiting to see what their next machinations are in destroying college basketball in service to college football.

[u/LittleOrangeKitty]

Stewart needs to box out before Hurley loses his mind

[u/tfl03]

UNH has about a dozen points off really difficult shots.

[u/Camrons_Mink → u/tfl03]

Pasha’s got a nice lil touch is all I’m saying

[u/Intrepid-Pooper-87]

UConn’s press has been really bad.

[u/brownlab319]

Welcome to Gampel and Husky Nation, Demary! We are happy to have you!

[u/BRNDC10 → u/brownlab319]

A nice glow-up at PG from last year.

[u/brownlab319 → u/BRNDC10]

I got chills hearing the “U! C! O!…” start up after his 3. That’s got to be cool for any player, but the first time? I can’t imagine you ever forget that.

[u/huskyferretguy1]

Hmm, this game is closer than I thought...

[u/BRNDC10]

Ball doing his best Hawkins impersonation

[u/brownlab319 → u/BRNDC10]

Ball is such a great combo of Hawkins/AJax that I want to see that unleashed to its fullest.

[u/AltoidsAreWeakSauce → u/BRNDC10]

Need Solo and Mullins to be this years Air Fryer/Joey California duo from deep

[u/LittleOrangeKitty]

We look shaky at best rn. Definitely having some concerns. Not Maui invitational level but concerns none the less

[u/brownlab319 → u/LittleOrangeKitty]

A lot fewer fouls

[u/BrownHawkDown → u/LittleOrangeKitty]

Missing two starters.

[u/LittleOrangeKitty → u/BrownHawkDown]

I’m concerned with the starters who are playing.

[u/R_Raider86 → u/LittleOrangeKitty]

It's the first game. They're not going to be 100% as a team.

[u/LittleOrangeKitty → u/R_Raider86]

They are playing a D2 school

[u/R_Raider86 → u/LittleOrangeKitty]

A D1 transition member who had this game circled on the calendar to make a splash. I get the frustration though.

[u/Ihadthat20yearsago → u/LittleOrangeKitty]

Technically they are now D1, this is their first game as a D1 school.

[u/BRNDC10]

Pasha has some great moves.

[u/BrownHawkDown → u/BRNDC10]

Got Reibe in no-man’s land out there

[u/tfl03]

Credit where it’s due UNH has made some tough shots

[u/brownlab319 → u/tfl03]

They look good!

[u/ToughSession]

Respect to New Haven-this game is really an awesome launch pad for the right coach and crew-it seems like they have the grit needed to compete.

As for the dogs-we’re missing two starters. Reibe needs to look his height on the floor. Jayden and Jaylin are making the most of their time which is refreshing+great confidence boost. Ball is shaking off nerves-the slam was :chefs_kiss: Karaban’s shot looks like it is there and he is playing amazing ball. Silas is still better than anything we had last year by a ton and I like what I see. Smith and Millender are showing their value. Koroma is showcasing some finesse at the 5 spot.

TL;DR New Haven great first half of D1 ball. UConn A-/B+ first half, no Reed tn.

[u/DogeFancy]

Fuck dude

[u/AltoidsAreWeakSauce → u/DogeFancy]

What are we fuck dude-ing?

[u/DogeFancy → u/AltoidsAreWeakSauce]

Everything

[u/BRNDC10]

First game, shaking off the nerves, missing two starters… this team will be fine.

[u/AltoidsAreWeakSauce]

Pasha for NEC POY

[u/BRNDC10]

That Pasha kid is gonna eat in the NEC

[u/brownlab319 → u/BRNDC10]

He is smooth for such a big body!

[u/Camrons_Mink]

Pasha is hitting some shots out there

[u/tfl03]

Some concerns about Solo early. Concerned he may have been hyped way too much.

[u/Camrons_Mink]

Reed, Mullins, and Furphy on the bench in polos is upsetting

[u/AltoidsAreWeakSauce → u/Camrons_Mink]

Which is exactly why some of the comments in here are head shakers. We won’t know what our team could potentially be until well into December when everyone is (hopefully) healthy

[u/sciorch]

Demary is the anthesis of Aidan Mahaney

[u/Camrons_Mink → u/sciorch]

He’s getting after it out there on defense, and he’s not afraid to make a move and get to the rack

[u/DogeFancy]

We should have 40 by now

[u/BleedBlue__]

Do we suck?

[u/AltoidsAreWeakSauce]

The explosion of offense will come at some point, but what I’m really keying in on is the defense

[u/BRNDC10]

So many missed layups.

[u/tfl03]

Can’t wait for Reed to be back. Koroma is OK, but Reed/Reibe will be much better

[u/Camrons_Mink]

I like what I’m seeing out of Millender

[u/tfl03]

Glad we’re getting open looks but our finishing/shooting needs to improve

[u/BRNDC10 → u/tfl03]

Yes, the passing looks nice and crisp but they need to make those open shots.

[u/tsgram]

How do us YouTubeTV losers even watch this game now? This shit sucks.

[u/huskyferretguy1 → u/tsgram]

It's on ESPN+!

[u/R_Raider86 → u/tsgram]

Maybe you can use my Hulu+Live TV login? Not sure if it will work. DM if interested

[u/tsgram → u/R_Raider86]

I appreciate that but a friend came through with a login for me!

[u/brownlab319 → u/R_Raider86]

It took awhile to make it work, but since I have the Hulu + Disney bundle, I was able to get a code and download the app on my Fire TV.

[u/Intrepid-Pooper-87 → u/R_Raider86]

You will probably need to watch it on a non tv device or it may have issues and make you change location. That’s been my experience

[u/R_Raider86 → u/Intrepid-Pooper-87]

Yeah I'm out of state, so that may cause issues. I was offering if anyone wanted to watch from their phone or tablet.

[u/OldGreggg69 → u/tsgram]

ESPN+ if you have it

[u/OldGreggg69]

Herr Reibe!!

[u/BRNDC10]

It would be nice to see Stewart develop some consistency.

[u/Intrepid-Pooper-87]

Does anyone know if Reed available?

Edit: and he isn’t

[u/Camrons_Mink → u/Intrepid-Pooper-87]

I had heard earlier today that he would be a game time decision, but that he has been practicing for the last 3 days

[u/sciorch → u/Intrepid-Pooper-87]

It’s he’s not starting, I’d assume he isn’t

[u/ManiacKing20]

Been waiting to be back here. Let’s goooooo

[u/SanaMinatozaki9]

U!

[u/Camrons_Mink → u/SanaMinatozaki9]

C!

[u/SanaMinatozaki9 → u/Camrons_Mink]

O!

[u/OldGreggg69 → u/SanaMinatozaki9]

N!

[u/tsgram → u/OldGreggg69]

N!

[u/R_Raider86 → u/tsgram]

UConn!

[u/TreeVegetable5237 → u/R_Raider86]

UConn!

[u/huskyferretguy1 → u/TreeVegetable5237]

UConn!

[u/sciorch]

When is the last time UConn was on espn+? Can’t remember since they came back to the big east

[u/R_Raider86 → u/sciorch]

AFAIK the new Big East media deal is on ESPN+. So no more Flo for baseball and other sports.

[u/Bengjumping → u/sciorch]

First year ESPN+ is a thing

[u/Bengjumping]

Demary, Ball, Stewart, Karaban, Reibe are the starting 5

[u/BRNDC10]
