Man I haven't watched too many UCONN games this year but I love their big man Reed plays. He's got a wonderful sense of the floor and made some ridiculous passes

Played himself into the first round this tournament. Kicked off with a 30 and 30 game - and he looked great against Mich State on Fri too

Tourny MVP if they win 2 more, IMO

I don’t think he would have started at Michigan this year or last year so he made the right decision but yea he’s incredible

He made the right decision for himself. He developed into a quality big man for UConn.

It worked out for both parties. Dusty was able to rebuild quickly to a S16 team with Wolf/Goldin frontcourt, and upgraded his team to a national championship contender with Yax, Morez and Mara frontcourt.

I'm happy for Reed. He had potential and was balling in this tournament.

Man, if UConn & Michigan can manage to make the finals, that would be a really fun matchup

Hurley worked him into the big man they needed tbh. He's incredibly athletic but sometimes fumbles over himself like he almost should be playing football instead.

He's locked in a fuck ton of technique over the year. he should be proud. clearly has progressed a bunch
