Quote from: drbob on January 19, 2026, 12:36:36 PMI don't understand why people refuse to acknowledge the obvious. The lack of a proficient front court has been our achilles heel for the last 3 years. Kolek was right if he told Shaka we needed to get a big man in the portal. Oso would have made a better 4 . With a solid big who could score and rebound inside and rim protect that team would
 have been final 4 material. Look at the past UConn teams, also Creighton. I for one get tired of seeing us manhandled inside while also not having any post scoring.  Like playing 4 on 5 . Aircraftcarrier is correct.
Oso a 4???

Quote from: wadesworld on January 19, 2026, 07:43:11 PMHe's an absolute stud.

I like how aggressive Royce has been offensively as well.

Couldn't agree more, wades.
Nigel will get all the pub and deservedly so, but man Royce has really turned a corner lately with his aggressiveness and finishing at the rim (something this team has stunk at haha). Last season he was a spot up 3-point shooter and that was it, but his strength and tenacity getting to the rim this season has been such a nice improvement to his game.

Add that to the strides Damarius is showing the past month and THAT is really encouraging moving forward. It looks like the game is slowing down for Damarius and the rebounds, blocks, steals (the game-saving steal when we were down 3 with 10 seconds left), and takes to the rim have been fantastic. That's as exciting to me as what Nigel is doing to be honest.

Nigel, Adrien, Chase, Damarius, and Royce lineups are so great to see, and I'm not sure the advanced stats for that 5 but I'd imagine it has to be one of our best from an efficiency standpoint. Really fun night for MUBB.

Great game.

38, 8 assists, 1 TO, 2 steals, 66.6% from 3 and 65% from 2. That's nuts.

I can appreciate one sampling the culture of another country. Am absolutely fascinated by Russian history, but when viewed through the lens of judeo-christian ethics, I think the current Russia regime is on the wrong side of history...Not interested in supporting them directly or indirectly..

The win saved my 1-1 trip. MU had won 14 straight games I attended. Then we lost to UConn on NMD last season and fell apart at DePaul on Friday.

Glad Nigel & Co. halted that losing streak at 2 for me!

Quote from: marqfan22 on January 19, 2026, 08:37:42 PMHe missed a huge second free throw. Lucky we didn't lose because of that miss.

Looked from my angle like he missed it on purpose. Will have to rewatch but seemed intentional. I imagine the hope was that there would be more of a scrum and the time would've ran out before Providence got settled with the ball.
