Looks like Joe has it all figured out as to when he needs to turn it on.

Oh, and he can still get his if need be.

He is having a very solid senior year. I'll roll with Joe and I'm proud of his development. Good times all around.

(it's nice that this is what passing for worrying right about now, isn't it Diego )

bet you want to take this post back after watching tonight's game.

Joe has still had a very good season.

Oh, about the 3/1 assist to turnover ratio? Last season 10 of the top 80 in NCAA assists had a 3/1.....most of them were from schools like Green Bay....in fact, only three were from MAJOR programs.

But, the timing of claiming he is a 2nd half player is not looking so good after a loss in a big game.

Maybe he will play better in the 2nd half against Lemoyne Owen.

Not trying to knock Joe, because he has been an absolute BEAST in the 2nd half of these games - just think what he could do if he did it in the 1st half as well.

I do like the fact that Joe has had the ball in his hands at the end of games - we know who is taking the last shot of the game, especially this season. Joe deserves it.

One thing for sure is - Joe has an incredibly long leash in his final season, and that is all good. He has been playing some monster minutes this season.

I want to see Joe for an entire game - that would be something.

Would be nice. I think you should look at the games where he has had the ball in his hands for the win. You might be surprised at the results.

You know very well I didn't say that

Not really surprised. It's all about expectations. If you bought into the 'best backcourt', you should have known better. So far the most consistent player on offense and defense is Dixon. JJ has had some good offensive game. The rest are yawners.

Joe has been much more consistent than Dixon offensively. The stats bear that out.

I said JJ has had some good offensive games. But defense is where we are getting killed on the perimeter. And between JJ and CC, it is really non existent.

I really get tired of Dixon and Joe playing at the same time for long periods of time. Joe is the leader of the team and needs to be on the floor as much as possible. Joe will make some mistakes, but he will make some plays too. Dixon is too streaky.

UCONN beat us tonight because they got back on defense and took away our transition game. That takes away a lot of Joe's game.

Joe plays decent defense. He doesn't get beaten nearly as much as Crawford.

Nope, he played ok. Shot a few long, had a couple of turnovers I didn't love, but generally played well enough to win.

We clawed back to close, had good defense on two late possessions and UConn hit some tough 'hand in face' shots to ice it. Not thrilled with losing and still concerned about the defense generally (a few too many layups conceded for my taste), but this game did little to change my high opinion of Joe's role on this team and his development.

Just my take, reasonable minds can and do differ.

Joe played poorly down the stretch tonight. No if ands or buts there.

this is true, and I'm the biggest Joe fan there is. That being said, no guard shot well % wise.

Joe gets about 35% of his points from the free throw line. He gets a lot of those free throws late in the 2nd half as well.

Then maybe he should sit for the first half..

Ain't worried about Joe today ... brilliant performance in both halves!

No
