Demary on MSG: “I’ve been told that’s our second home.” #UConn

Hurley: “What’s the stuff that makes you go to sleep? We’re gonna eat the fucking tryptophan on Wednesday, this way we won’t be sluggish as shit on Friday.” #UConn
November 24, 2025 at 1:57 AM
Hurley: “I just don’t think we’re seeing everything right now, but I think we’re gonna get there.” #UConn

Hurley: “We’re a team that executes in the half-court, but I do think with our depth, we want to get back to that ’24 team.” #UConn
November 24, 2025 at 1:55 AM
Hurley: “I think Tarris will be in that same boat. (Braylon’s) obviously not gonna play 30 minutes, it’ll be a gradual situation.” #UConn
Hurley: “Braylon had his first live day yesterday and recovered well enough to play one-on-one against Andrew Hurley and Rich Kelly. With all due respect to those guys, they’re not exactly simulating Illinois, but he’s close. It’ll be a gametime decision.” #UConn

Hurley: “I was gonna take (Demary) out, but Kimani said he needed another assist to get a triple-double. I said, ‘alright, he’s got 30 seconds.’” #UConn

Hurley: “Silas has gotta be a quarterback, and he’s got a lot of weapons on the court. You’re gonna need him to play like he did tonight…that was the growth you saw in T-New.” #UConn
November 24, 2025 at 1:44 AM
Hurley: “I think when Braylon is back, you’re gonna see a cluster of eight or nine guys that are between seven and 15 points. The strength of this team is gonna be the numbers.” #UConn

Hurley: “There’s a reason Jayden Ross was a plus-24. Minus his three-point shooting, the guy was great tonight.” #UConn
November 24, 2025 at 1:42 AM
Hurley on Demary: “That feels great. The last time we had a guy that was getting triple-doubles, the season went great. Silas is gonna get better and that’s what we need from him.” #UConn

Hurley: “I gotta thank our fans. I mean, 6:00 on a Sunday night?” #UConn
November 24, 2025 at 1:40 AM
Hurley: “I’m just kind of happy to get this one over with and get ready for some big games coming up.” #UConn
November 24, 2025 at 1:40 AM
Hurley: “We were just brutal shooting tonight.” #UConn
November 24, 2025 at 1:39 AM
Hurley: “I thought we, defensively, did a good job.” #UConn
November 24, 2025 at 1:39 AM
Hurley: “From an offensive standpoint, it’s a little frustrating. I actually thought some of their length impacted some of the rim finishes.” #UConn

Not pretty, but workmanlike.

That’s the best way to describe #UConn’s 72-49 win over Bryant. Business handled for the Huskies, who get Illinois next at MSG.

Demary gets the triple-double, feeding Reibe inside for a slam.

He’s got 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. #UConn

They’re going down the stretch in Hartford, and the only drama here is whether or not Silas Demary, Jr. can get #UConn’s first triple-double since Tristen Newton against Villanova two seasons ago. He’s got 8/10/9, and will shoot on the other side of the U4.

Huskies 62, Bryant 43

Demary squeezes through for a layup and the Huskies go up by 20 early in the second half. Bryant is still shooting under 30% for the game -- now down to 27. 15:01, UConn 46-26

Pitt loses a buy game to Quinnipiac. The epitome of brutality.

Sure, who doesn’t want to go #ToTheMonitor at the end of the half after the buzzer?

At least it gives me a head start on the trek up to Section 239.

Two Jayden Ross free throws stretch the #UConn lead through 20, where it’s 37-21, Huskies over Bryant.

After 12 minutes without a Bryant field goal, Quincy Allen drills a three, and Ashley Sims scores in transition, so naturally, Dan Hurley calls timeout.

Huskies up 29-14 with 2:28 to play in the first half.
