LRCW Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Didn't know this, but I just heard that Ryan Boatwright was the 8th grader that Tim Floyd offered a scholarship to while he was at USC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spindoc Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thats all on Andrew IMO. Andrew Played with his back to the defender and basket almost the whole game, hard to get it down low when you can't see him Perhaps. But the point blank whiffs were hardly Harrison's fault. And Dakari never rolled towards the basket on the high ball screen. Not sure if that was by design or not. But the roll to the basket creates space inherently. I didn't understand that philosophy.

Hellbird Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thats all on Andrew IMO. Andrew Played with his back to the defender and basket almost the whole game, hard to get it down low when you can't see him That is what I've said all year about Andrew, he doesn't know how to run the offense and gets lazy at times. He's missed some wide open guys under the basket all year long because he is always looking at the perimeter instead of looking toward the basket. Very frustrating at times yet if you say anything negative about the twins you are deemed a hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They forced him to keep it outside and he couldn't do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold sunrise Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Loved this team. What a journey they have taken us on. Will never forget this team. Julius says it best: Julius Randle @J30_RANDLE Follow Man what a year it's been. Came up a little short but wouldn't go to war with anybody else !! Thanks for all the support #BBN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Howell Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Cats missed more FTs than UConn took. Turnovers hurt badly. Randle only 7 shots, looked gassed the whole game. Lee was totally deer in the headlights- had no idea what was going on. Napier was the difference- could tell he had been there before. Congrats to the Cats players on a great run in the tournament. UConn beats the preseason number one(UK) ,beats Villanova, beats the number one team going into the tournament(Fla.) and beats the team that 90% of the analysts picked to win it (Mich State). and that's after getting smoked by 30 by Louisville in conference tourn. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They forced him to keep it outside and he couldn't do anything about it. This wasn't the first game that happened, actually it has occured a lot during the season. Anymore it seems as if a kid is considered a 1 and done even before he gets to college then that is all they need to get to the next level, the reputation is more important than the actual playing ability anymore. That is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOOGY Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Finally got around to watch the highlights. UConn was just clutch last night, they pretty much answered every single run with a 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Friction Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm not convinced UCONN is the better team. They certainly were last night. Play ten times; UK wins seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Corleone Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm still a little miffed about the charge on AP but I'll get over it. I guess I'm getting older because I'm more excited about how they got there than I am sad that they lost. The 4 games leading up to last night were remarkable and to do most of it without your 7 foot 1st rounder was even more remarkable. I'm just thankful I got to see every second of every game, amazing.
