Show Notes:

Segment 1: Game Recap

We recap UConn’s 68-60 victory over Georgetown, highlighting Alex Karaban’s stellar 19-point performance and the team’s 17-2 run that sealed the game. Despite Georgetown’s recent resurgence under Ed Cooley, UConn’s defensive intensity and offensive execution proved too much for the Hoyas to handle. We also reflect on the pre-game buzz and Dan Hurley’s thoughts on the importance of strong programs like Georgetown and St. John’s in the Big East.

Segment 2: My Thoughts

A deep dive into the game’s key moments and standout performances, featuring:

• Jayden Ross: A solid showing with a three-pointer, reverse layup, and high-energy defense.

• Aidan Mahaney: Stepping up with growing confidence and a notable drive against Georgetown’s Peavy.

• Ahmad Nowell: Gaining minutes but still working to maximize opportunities and make an impact.

• Samson Johnson: Efficient on the scoreboard but needing more on the defensive boards.

• Alex Karaban: A resilient response to his Villanova struggles, leading the team with confidence and determination.

Segment 3: Dan Meheen’s Thoughts and Conclusion

Dan Meheen highlights:

• Aidan Mahaney’s growing poise on the court.

• UConn’s second-half run that showcased their offensive potential.

• Solo Ball’s impressive consistency as a scorer, emerging as a reliable 15-point-per-night player.

• Areas for improvement, including rebounding and avoiding late-game sloppiness.
