53-58 UCONN up.. 1min left

UNH is playing a solid game. I've been watching most of the game on SNY.

I watched the whole game as I am a fan of UNH. (Don't hurt me - I grew up in Durham!)

 

If this game is any indication of their potential - and I believe it is, because I saw them win over Brown on Saturday - then UNH is going to be a big threat in the America East. They never trailed in the first half and were leading with 14:08 left in the game. UNH was within one with 8:24 remaining. There were only two reasons that UConn won: Kemba Walker (30 points for UConn) and 13 blocks for UConn - not necessarily in that order. The blocks meant that UNH didn't get the points AND didn't go to the line (they attempted only 6 FTs), whereas UConn took 26 foul shots.

 

And UNH nearly upset UConn without Abreu, who is/was arguably their best player.

 

Sorry if I sound excited, but I am! UA must take UNH as a serious threat, although I have some opinions about how UA is better and could pull off a win (three-point shooting and frontcourt bench depth, for example).

 

Also, please take this UNH fan (me) as an ally because UNH fans share UA's hatred of the Vermont Catamounts!!!
