Very nice first half.

The PA guy sounds like Obama.

2) Napier needs to play more under control, but god damn he's got some balls. I'm really surprised how much leash Calhoun has given him already (leaving him in after that terrible 3, letting him run the offense for long stretches even when Kemba is on the floor). I can't remember another UConn freshman getting that kind of leash since El-Amin. I'm sure part of that is necessity, but JC must really believe in the kid.

3) Last time the program had back-to-back wins this big? The 2004 Final Four?

4) WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

all of this. i just found this thread but i'll try to keep up with all jtg's posts and contribute some myself. grew up in CT and been a uconn fan4L, unfortunately i live near boston now tho so i dont get to watch many of the games

Pretty much all of the games that aren't on national TV are viewable on espn3.com. At least they are in California. I doubt that would be different in Boston.

came across this earlier:

Quote:

Kemba Walker (left)- Nicknamed EZ Pass for his great ability to dish the ball he is heading off to UConn next year. Following Russel Robinson and Edgar Sosa in great Rice P.G.'s recently.

EZ Pass is a really good nickname.

I'm getting a little nervous already. I don't feel too good about this matchup, but I still can't wait to watch.

It'll make my week if I can hear Raf shout "ONIONS!" when Kemba hits the game-winner tonight.

Kemba and Oriakhi on the bench at the same time? This could be an ugly few minutes.

It feels like they're lucky to only be down six so for.

Wow, Wanamaker has a really quick release. I'd say that was pretty if I didn't hate Pitt so much.

More fouls than field goals so far. Pretty typical UConn-Pitt game.

I'd like to complain that they're taking a lot of bad 3's, but other than Kemba penetrating I'm not sure if they can get better shots against a team like Pitt.
