That's a wrap. Nice gut check win over a ranked team. Signature win of the season so far. First true road win of the season. First win in Storrs or Hartford since 2000.

Tough win. Showed some onions despite the late game execution.

Didn't catch today's game but great welcome back to Big East present handing UConn an L.

I like the trend of playing Roberts more, Cole and Moore less. I don't know why it's taken this long.

Posh and Wasu looked like they played like UConn didn't recruit them. Need that type of play more often

Posh won this game. Impressive for a freshman.

Seems like Anderson was going with his guys. I figure the staff hinted at starting positions during the recruitment process and Cole/Moore were plugged in for major minutes.

Compare Cole to LJ, both Juco AA's and it's not even close who is the superior talent at this point. They both however have played poorly under Anderson... is it the system?

Posh is a beast. He got after it on both sides and didn't back down. UConn guys were rattled. Hopefully he can bring more consistency moving forward. I think Wusu will have his moments and will be a solid role player.

Dan Hurley gave away this game. Sanogo was dominating in the paint and somehow he sat on the bench for a large part of the 2nd half because we went with a small lineup.

That is the trouble with evaluating kids from sh*tty JUCO conferences. I’m not throwing in the towel yet on Cole...it’s big jump in competition.

The other thing to consider with LJ was how aggressive he was. Cole has been timid.

Long ago, (MSG on 49th and 8th, no three point shot), the year after Lapchick's last game, NYU went to the NIT finals against BYU and lost.  NYU had a 6'4"  wing named Bruce Kaplan who was a superb outside jump shooter from distance, once hitting what would have been twelve 3's against LIU.  As defenses started to try to take away this shot Bruce mastered single dribble going left or right, square up, and shoot, or shot fake or pass or shoot.  I bring it up because watching Cole I wonder if some simplification, ala Bruce Kaplan, might restore his game.  He has the outside shooting skills but is turning into a pretzel trying to set up his shot.
