Big win for Uconn. Cole was outstanding. Xavier will be fine.

Georgetown with a strong 1st half. 8-14 from three.

Congrats UCONN.

No excuses - you guys wanted it and simply took it.

No excuses, but these COVID interruptions are hell.

Was I clear on there being no excuses?

Yeah Dash, kind of surprised how X looked but get it. Rhythm gets knocked out of whack with these fits and starts. Freemantle looked good but scruggs seemed really out of sorts. Naji esque almost. Need more reps against good teams to see what X really is.

Uconn looked good, Akok was really a presence early on and is a difference maker imo. Huskies are big and long. Will be interesting to see how they adapt to Bouknight when he gets back.

You said it Chap - big and long, and very athletic. Found their confidence and played as a team. If they get Bouk to mesh in with what they showed today, take cover.

Creighton was outstanding today. I think this was Blue Jays team was waiting to see.

Much needed win. Freemantle was very reminiscent of Pittsnogle (for all those older BE schools). Annoyingly good.

Also, can't wait to be Nova's rebound opponent. Thanks a lot Bluejays...
