OK, you know this is coming.

UConn.
Iona played pretty close to a perfect first half.
UConn took every blow, went into halftime down a deuce.
Huskies came out like storm troopers, pistol whipped Iona in the second half 50-24 to win by 24.

That second half was one of the finest halves I've seen anybody play in a long time.
And I say this without my little Husky beanie on my head.

Sonogo was a monster.

He pushed all the right buttons at half, came out much more aggressive, Iona couldn't keep up.
First half Pitino was trapping, Hurley came out 2H and took it to them.

Yeah, Hurley showed me something yesterday.

Sanogo played out of his mind. the freshmen were amazing. andre jackson jr. is always the glue holding it together. this was the best use of depth i have seen him use all season. now i don't trust sanogo to be consistent. his talent is great, but basketball iq on defense isn't. the freshman center is more fundamentally sound already. the west is the toughest bracket. i just hope for the best..

Clingan?
Considering he only plays part time, and he's only a kid, is amazing.

I know you know what he does with 14 minutes of playing time a game.
Six rebounds, two blocks on the average in 14 minutes.
That's insane.

If he gets starters minutes, that prorates to 12 rebounds, 4 blocks, 14 points, on the average.
Hurley is set up for another three years with monster pivot men, Clingan and Karaban.

Sonogo is best served coming back for his senior year, he's not quite NBA ready, if his senior year is solid, he'll be NBA first round draft worthy, not yet though, almost.

I tell Ally all the time, my all time favorite Husky team was Kemba's, this team is #2.

Thanks, good luck back at ya.
I took a pass on Duke, I may regret that.
They're coming together at the right time.

It's all a crap shoot/hope your team doesn't shoot like crap. If UConn was in a different region I might have taken them too. BOL2ALL

Nash Songa will be 2nd round at best hes not big enough to guard centers in the nba and hes too slow to to guard fowards. Hes Oscar Twsiguwebe from Kentucky he will be okish getting limited minutes off the bench like luka garza cody zeller or a bismack byombo

I tend to agree with you, this is why I say he needs his senior year.
With progression I can see him going late first round, early second round.

What's up Rat?
Been awhile, hope all is good.
You still local?

Razorback just that team nobody talking about, they're going to be a very tough out imo

**pavyracer** · 03-19-23, 07:41 PM
