Aidan Mahaney looked great tonight for UConn!

[kiddman32]

UConn 102-75 over URI in at Hoophall in an exhibition.

Aidan was a bit quiet in the first half, got pushed around some (but still scored 5) ...

But he was a LOT more assertive in the 2nd half, ending up with 17 points on 6 of 9 shooting, 3 of 5 from the arc. 3 assists, 2 steals...

Didn't start, but he played 23 minutes, 3rd most on the team.

Not bad for that kid from the back alleys of Moraga!

He’s a very good college player and will do well at uconn. He knows what he signed up and that’s less minutes and shots but a chance to play for the best coach in America and a chance to win a title.

0-2 in Maui lost to 2 unranked opponents.
Played 7 minutes today. Them boys little quicker than the fellas at Santa clara and LMU

He is struggling to defend at the moment
Memphis sought him out and went at him
Yesterday but an adjustment period is to be expected he has the IQ to figure it out and
Get himself adjusted.

Gotta play off a little. Give up the jumper.

Yeah, Aidan’s game is not in a good place right now…

Not sure what’s it’s gonna take to get him rolling, if that ever even happens.

So far as UConn goes, Aidan isn’t the only problem. Even if you consider that the Maui refs have been a bit whistle happy, the bigs can’t seem to defend without fouling, and everyone seems to be trying too hardhard and falling for just about every head fake…. Jump, foul when ya come down.

Of course, if the other teams would stop shooting the lights out all the time, it might help…

And let's face it hurleys style of coaching is much different then he has dealt with while I'm sure he knew what he was signing up for
There also has to be a an adjustment period in gaining confidence in a new system.

Mahaney was scoreless and only played 6 minutes in Loss to Colorado. The Grass is not always greener!

He is in the doghouse right now but to be fair to the coaches in the 5-6 games played he's not getting it done. I think shooting around 25% from the field. He is definitely pressing right now.
