The road from Storrs to Providence runs just 50 miles but leaves behind a lifetime's trail of character. #GoFriars #pcbb

@pleyden92 Yeah, Neptune seems to be a more defense-oriented coach at this point. I thought he had his guys ready to play, but McDermott is tough out of timeouts.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

Key play of the game ended up being Whitmore fouling Alexander with Creighton in the bonus. Nobody will remember it, but it's the little things that make the difference.

Seemed to me that Whitmore plays too tight defensively. Makes it harder to keep the ball-handler in front.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

Looks like another hard luck loss for Villanova. Shame, because it felt like they deserved that one. They'll be a trendy "dark horse" to win the Big East Tournament, I'm sure.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

Whitmore has had a rough second half.

@thefull40 that was just a good play by Kaluma IMO

This is why review is a bad idea

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

I haven't been the biggest Eric Dixon fan, but he's been excellent in this game. Good D on Alexander there, too.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

Creighton ran the same double screen for Alexander there that they ran for Farabello out of the last timeout. Different result.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

Boy is there a lot of drama in Omaha right now. Nova's looking for a signature win to revive its season; Creighton's looking to extend its win streak.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

You don't need to double Kalkbrenner that far from the basket

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

Looked like Nembhard was waiting for a screen that never came. Possible miscommunication.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

@pleyden92 He sure did

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

A lot of east coasters who weren't familiar with Sean Miller coming into this season may have known him as a cheater that couldn't break through in March.

The time to familiarize yourself is now up. He's the best coach in this league and one of the best in the country.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

Soriano cannot get sucked that far in there. He's really struggled in this match-up against Nunge.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

Was about to criticize Soriano's defense on Nunge there, but honestly, that's pretty good design. Screen for the screener type action.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

There's the late seal again from Xavier. They're good at that.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

This Tennessee-Auburn game is ugly.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

Ighodaro is a better passer than he is a scorer at this point. I don't know why you're committing that much help.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

Marquette is lethal on underneath OOB. Kolek is a big part of that.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]

@TheSportsJD @mattstdream @mtosc98 David would technically be a newcomer even though he obviously played in the league last year.

Honesty, I should have just posed the question without the names and let people pick their own teams. There are some complicated personnel decisions to be made on both sides.

[UConn Paid Kevin Ollie $15,057,032.95 @Husky_Turned]
