Tyler Kolek is just outrageously good, the clear top point guard in college basketball. And holy, moly, the Big East games between UConn, Marquette and Creighton this year are going to be absolutely insane.
Tyler Kolek with the hustle 😤 What a play, @MarquetteMBB 😱 https://t.co/wbHJrGHMEX
Jimmy Chitwood, I mean Tyler Kolek, looks really good tonight for Marquette. He'll make it.
Marquette on its second 10-0 run. Kolek is really good.

"People didn’t think that we’d be as good as last year. I did.” On @UConnMBB, different but just as dangerous https://t.co/m91e8LsEs6
“We know our level.” “This is obviously a formidable team.” “It’s big-time for us.” “We’re not done with just beating UNC.” @UConnMBB might be downplaying its strength a bit, but the Huskies answered the call again tonight. My column from MSG: https://t.co/GYOLwUJtwX #UConn https://t.co/cWFFPFOLja

UConn 87-UNC 76. “UConn’s offense is beautiful.” @JayBilas UConn’s defense had been consistent too. It definitely shows up in a timely fashion when needed. Points won’t be a problem for UNC. Their individual and team defense needs to tighten up. When a team gets 25 assist…

Hurley: “When we get Steph up to speed and we get Donovan feeling good, this is obviously a formidable team.” #UConn #BleedBlue
Hurley: “I don’t think we’re as good as last year at this point, but I think we have a chance to get as close to last year at the end.” #UConn #BleedBlue
Hurley: “I thought our guys attacked and made plays off script.” #UConn #BleedBlue
Hurley: “I thought we had a pretty good first half. Switching one through four on defense, on and off the ball, we learned a lot from how to handle that type of defense and I think we just had a really good balance of running our stuff and executing.” #UConn #BleedBlue
UConn was the better team. That was clear. UNC got exposed. There were defensive issues against a really good, well-coached team that can shoot. The rebounding was embarrassing. I thought UConn played much harder at times. Love the fight and the run in the second half.
The Jimmy V Classic 2023 ends as @UConnMBB with terrific balance beat a quality @UNC_Basketball team 87-76 .Cam Spencer with 23 & Alex Karaban with 21 spark @dhurley15’s Huskies .
