Big game for the Irish basketball team this weekend as they face the 2nd rated UConn Huskies. It'll be a tough game for the Irish, going up against Jim Calhoun's $1.6 million dollar salary (he just told me to shut up) and heading into Storrs where the students will put down the shrooms and Dave Matthews and be ready for this Saturday afternoon game. I'm not enitrely confident about our prospects this afternoon, but if the Irish can somehow pull this one off, they'll be looking pretty before their last 2 games in attempt to salvage the season and end up 10-8 in the Big East. This game could go a long way on the team's tournament resume, so let's hope they come out blazing. Go Irish!

thabeet took the tip
least surprising moment of the game
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:08 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
jackson hits a jumper
we have to shoot well from outside
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:09 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
carlton scott, ty nash and zach hillesland
their jobs today should be to foul the hell out of thabeet and adrien
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:10 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
if hillesland was a boxer, he'd be a bleeder
that dude is always cut

if thabeet is hitting jumpers
it’s gonna be a long afternoon

lost the first segment 9-5
not a great start. harangody looks lost on offense and no one is playing defense. seems sadly familiar this season
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:15 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
my bad, nd had that timeout
we lost the first segment 11-5
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:17 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
This team does not know how to play offense against this team.
Zeller actually has to get some minutes today since they are so large. That scares the hell out of me.
Nash needs to be in, I agree.

peoples and nash have been giving the best energy lately
hopefully we see one of them out of the break
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:18 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
you can't help but laugh when we get destroyed on a bloc
it happens so often
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:20 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
can only hope that adrian/thabeet cool down
& harangody still looks lost
by lmnjello on Feb 28, 2009 2:21 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
NASH!
like a man over thabeet. he slayed thabeet!
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:21 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
thabeet is gonna be fine
never cheer for anyone to get hurt, but some girl screamed in the crowd when she saw he was down. it was like a horror movie scream. hilarious
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:22 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
won that segment 5-4
let’s keep rolling with nash
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:23 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Goddamn I love Nash.
Our defense looks like a clusterfuck. Zeller was on Price. WTF
by Rob on Feb 28, 2009 2:23 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
peoples, jackson, gody, nash and kmac right now
let’s see if they can defend at all
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:26 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
flipper three missed from gody
followed by a slam from robinson and a turnover
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:28 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
If they're hitting threes and the bigs hit the elbow jumpers
I’m not sure what shot we have. Can we play Nash, Zeller and Gody at the same time?

After UConn went up 20-14, I looked to the sideline. Mike Brey turned for an answer…and Luke Zeller went up to go into the game.
God help us.
by Rob on Feb 28, 2009 2:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
we look so weak (besides Nash) around the rim
you can’t draw fouls like that
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
when did we lose our touch?
seems like it’s been since the texas game
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
god bless you Jonathon Peoples
finally someone makes a shot
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:36 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
thabeet's gonna have a triple double
points, blocks, boards
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:39 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Thabeet
I think I’ve talked myself into him as a solid rotation player on a good NBA team. He’s never going to be great at offense, but he’s drastically better than last year.
I would like Ayers to hit another seven threes?

i think thabeet could be a mutumbo
maybe even better offensively. he’s only played hoops for like four years
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:43 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
ayers is feeling it
he’s 5 o’clock shadow drives his power
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:43 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
who is this edwards guy?
he played well against us in SB too
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:45 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
At the very least, you can say we have active hands on both ends.

here's why it's gonna be tough to win
UConn dunks, we shoot running hooks
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:46 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
only down 2, fine
but it seems like we’re down a million, less good
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 2:49 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I still think we’ll get blown of the water in the 2nd half
by Rob on Feb 28, 2009 2:52 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
If Nash doesn’t play 15 minutes this half, I think we all can admit Brey has somewhat of a learning disability.
by Rob on Feb 28, 2009 2:54 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
hillesland is out
feel bad for him, but he’s been ineffective of late
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:08 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
ayers hits a three over someone?!?!?!
i don’t get, but I like it
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:08 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
gody burned thabeet from the wing
if we can keep thabeet out there, life will be good
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:11 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
We need to keep this going. What worries me is that we’re going to stumble and not get back up.
by Rob on Feb 28, 2009 3:13 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
not a bad first segment
we need ayers to stay warm. he and kmac really need to go 50% from three
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:14 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
poor substitution for ND
zeller for nash, peoples for ayers after UConn tied it up. not the guys we need to stem the flow of momentum
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:17 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
jackson with a great take
and a chance to tie……………converted.
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:29 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
ayers is on adrien
no wonder he has 21 points on 10 of 11 shooting
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:32 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Still a lot of time to go, but this is a great game.
I know I am redundant, but if Zeller comes back into the game I will kill someone.

Tyrone Nash
I’m ten times more impressed with ND with Nash emergence. Kid’s fearless. Great handles, too.

gody showed be looking to take thabeet off the dribble
every time he gets the ball around the three on the wing
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:37 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
and then gody
gody tried to follow with a leaner. not his shot
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:40 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Transition D needs to pick it up
UCONN’s halfcourt offense mediocre
--PB--
by Peter Bean on Feb 28, 2009 3:40 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He needed to kick that out
Oh, this was Senior Day?! No way Jeff Adrien loses on Senior Day.

their starting to want it more
and we look tired
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:41 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Still alive, but we better do something on offense.
For as many threes as we put up, you would think Brey would want to put someone in that can actually rebound on offense. PUT NASH IN. SERIOUSLY.

Hack A Thabeet?

nash has three fouls
but if things get out of hand, why not get him in before they do even if he fouls out
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:44 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
sometimes brey calls timeouts
and i don’t even think he knows why
by mhb on Feb 28, 2009 3:46 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Nash is what Adrien was on that 2006 UConn team
Bunch of skilled perimeter guys who could score, but maybe a little soft, so the young guy just came in and bashed some skulls.
I wish Mike Brey would let him go in and bash some skulls for the next three minutes.

Well, at least we had Peoples in for his offense.
WHAT THE FUCK
