Week #16 – Games of Interest/A-10

[Shinze88]

Houston (whom URI beat) wins at UConn 75-68. UConn (20-9 with an RPI of #54) is very much a bubble team and needed the win to help solidify its position. The Huskies next game is on the road at SMU. UConn will not have the luxury of playing their tournament games in Hartford this year as the AAC is in Florida.

I was at this game today and was very impressed with how athletic, quick and efficient Houston was, they look nothing like the team that came to Kingston back in December. UConn had several opportunities to take control of the game but they couldn't knock down a shot when they needed it, story of their season. I will say that Steve Enoch would have looked very nice in a Rhody uniform, kid is huge and moves well for his size in the limited minutes he got today. Its hard to believe how much UConn is struggling this year with all the talent they have on that team. The Ryan Center is a much better atmosphere than Gampel Pavillion, though the numerous banners they have hanging for both mens and womens program is very impressive.

UConn is very inconsistent with their shooting, and they don't have that take charge PG that they've had in the past.

That's the missing piece for them, a big one.

So sad to hear about UConn's struggles....
