Yes, inexplicable that he did not force the ball into his greatest asset being guarded by a freshman. Just as it was inexplicable that Anderson did not run his offense through Addae-Wusu
Sandago had a bruised elbow.
Play of the game when Kam used his face to take out Sanogo's elbow. Shaka talked about looking out on the court last night and seeing a bunch of freshmen and sophomores fighting their tails off. Watching those kids go chest to chest with a bigger and more experienced UCONN team, in the Garden, and come out on top was one of the more fun wins in recent memory. The toughness was off the charts last night. And once again...Shaka owned halftime.

Ideal for our league is when each team has a true identity.
If we didn’t have Shaka I’d take Hurley.Shaka’s excitement on the sidelines would be hated if he was coaching Creighton against MU.
The guy in front of me last night was a really nice UConn fan (they do exist - who knew?). At the half he wasn’t confident at all. His take was that Hurley is a great recruiter, but lacks coaching chops. Sounded oddly familiar.
Biggest takeaway from last night is MU closes AGAIN they learned how to do it and Shaka gets credit.Not a takeaway is Hurley being a bad coach. Criticism of him is overblown. He's not great but good for our conference. I love it that he really wants to beat us! I love it that you can see competitive angst on his face in the post game presser. I love it when big east teams have competitive coaches that work hard at it and are good at it. Hurley is one, Cooley, McDermott, others. Man I wish Jay W. Was still here. Hurley is an asset to the Big East. Shaka's the Best though! 😁
