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
