A week in the NCAA | Connecticut is no longer undefeated!

Purdue and New Mexico are now the only two teams still undefeated in the first university division: Connecticut (#2 in the Top 25 of the AP) is no longer part of the band, after its defeat on the floor of Xavier (#22 of the AP Top 25), for his fourth Big East Conference game.

After a disputed and difficult to read first half (42-21 for UConn), the Musketeers slowly but surely made the difference after the break, thanks to the mastery of their conductor Colby Jones (16 points at 7/10 on shots, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals), and the domination of Zach Freemantle under the panels (16 points and 11 rebounds), even if the Huskies collectively won the rebound battle (38 catches against 31).

Above all, Sean Miller’s men, who gleaned a fourth victory in as many conference games, were much more efficient in attack (54% success on shots in 52 shots, against 42% in 67 shots), and more aggressive towards the circle, like this enormous differential in free throws: 28 against 9!

Huge heat stroke for Marcus Carr: ten 3-point shots!

The “senior” point guard from Texas actually caught fire at the start of the week, against the modest team of Texas A&M-Commerce, by planting, in just 30 minutes, 41 points at 13/19 on shots, including 10/15 behind the arc, a record equaled in the history of the Austin program!

It’s also his career high, of course, but also the highest total for a Longhorns player since 1996 (43 points), and a tied record for most points scored in a single half, with 33 units during the first period.

On all the shots, I had a good feeling. I saw them all end up in it. After I scored the first two, my teammates boosted my confidence and continued to serve me and encourage me to shoot. » he said thusafter this heat stroke.

A nice Gift for North Carolina

Very good recruitment carried out Hubert Davis, the coach of the Tar Heels, who secures the commitment of the best playmaker of the 2024 high school promotion, Elliot Cadeau, ranked 10th best player of this promotion.

The 18-year-old Brooklyn native, who represents Sweden in international youth competitions because his mother is Swedish (MVP of Euro U18 this summer, with averages of 21.3 points at 53% on shots), is considered like a pure playmaker, a very high caliber “playmaker” who will masterfully manage the attack of the Chapel Hill team.

I chose UNC because it was the best decision for me, and the best environment. I think North Carolina is going to help me accomplish all of my goals as a player. » was he thus justified. ” The program has just recruited a player who likes to win. A player without ego, who will do everything he can to contribute to victory. »
