Opinions here. Is the Kemba step back the most iconic college hoops shot of last 20 plus years? Even the Nova title winning shot doesn’t get a boost. Literally been a decade I see the shot every couple of months out there.

Excellent effort by UConn and Cincy. Refs have to be better. It isn’t 1-2 calls, it just seems they control the game way too much. It’s like they are the directors and the players are puppets. The whistles make these games unwatchable.

I don’t know if Andre Jackson can score 10 ppg (does he even want to?) but I am not sure Hurley can keep him off the floor. Jackson plays at a different speed than everyone else. His playmaking is best on the team by far. Most unusual UConn player I have ever watched.

I am thinking we should re-adjust expectations for UConn. We assumed it was combo of roster/coach/style. But I am thinking it was more coach and style than players. And, to be honest, just style. Run, play D, get easy baskets. Look like an ncaa caliber team to me.
