UConn (#22) @ UC (#7) - ESPN 7pm Eastern

[kramer1]

Watch 2 of the best guards in the country play tonight in Shabazz Napier and Sean Kilpatrick.

Should be a great game.

I'm gonna check out this game to get my first close look at cinci this year. Neutral sit win over Pitt, win @ Memphis, and now a win @ L'ville.

This has got to be the most under-the-radar top 10 team. At least from my vantage point.

Keep an eye on Justin Jackson. He's a treat to watch. He's the very definition of what hard work can do for you if you're willing to put in the time.

game on...

 

[kramer1]

We got ourselves a good one here.

 

[BUD]

Good game so far. The Huskies should win, I think they're just the better team..

 

[kramer1]

Sean Kilpatrick is so clutch

 

[kramer1]

Standard UC win.

Wasn't real impressed with Napier's play. turned it over with reckless drives, took a bunch of bad shots. Boatwright is the better player, IMO. UConn should have won that game had Napier been a better point guard.

Not many players have good games against UC's D, though.

I also think the officiating towards the end of the game was shit. Ticky tack calls on both sides.

Sean Kilpatrick being snubbed off the Wooden list is a travesty. He's averaged 25 a game since, though.

Cincy impressed me. Reminded me a lot of SDSU. Great defense and toughness and a phenomenal guard that can take over the game when needed.

No WAY. Shabazz is such an all-around talent. If Boatwright had the ball in his hands more, you would be well aware that he is by far a worse decision maker than Shabazz. Trust me as someone who watched Uconn a lot, they NEED shabazz to make things happen to be good, and that means in those games where he turns it over or misses those tough shots (which he can hit more than most guys) it looks BAD.

But Cincy's defense is nasty, and will make people look awful.

I meant to say that LAST NIGHT Boatwright was the better player; especially down the stretch. I felt like Shabazz was out of control most of the game; driving in the lane, losing the ball while everyone else stood around and watched his one on five game. The guy dribbled the ball around and then threw up a brick as time was expiring soooo many times, I felt bad for4 UConn. Maybe they do need Shabazz....and they really need a Shabazz who acts like a point guard making the rest of his team better. That did not happen. Lots off opportunities for him to drive the lane and dish to someone and make a play; considering his center is huge and was behind the defense awaiting a dish for a slam dunk and asking for the ball. Didn't see the stats; but I doubt he shot 40% and very few assists. IMO, he is the reason UConn lost that game. Sorry; just can't have your point guard losing the ball and throwing up bricks while the rest of the team watches. Defense; I thought he played a good game.
