UConn's Ridiculous Comeback Last Night Was All Thanks To Metallica ... Wait, What?

Perhaps the most shocking result last night was UConn beating Marquette. Not just because it was a road game, shit UConn was favored by a .5 point. But because at one point this was the score: 

Oh and also James Bouknight hyperextended his elbow and barely looked like the guy who is a potential Big East Player of the Year. Instead Tyler Polley started looking like a mix of Jimmer, Trae Young and Adam Morrison all rolled into one. Polley scored 24 points the second half, Marquette as a team scored 24. Fucking absurd stat. 

And yeah, Polley deserves nearly all the credit. But you know who else does? Isaiah Whaley, who dropped 15 and 13. Apparently it was all because of Metallica. I gotta admit, not a huge fan of the heavy rock before a basketball game. It's just not basketball pump up music, but then again Whaley had 15 and 13 so different strokes for different folks. If you're going rock for a pump up music you gotta go AC/DC though. Really anything between Hells Bells and Thunderstruck

This UConn team, much like the rest of the Big East, is intriguing as hell though. They could finish 3rd and be a top-5 seed in the NCAA Tournament or just completely miss it. You saw the first 25 minutes of the game and they didn't look close to an NCAA Tournament team. But then the last 15 and you can make a case they are the third best team in the conference. Same goes for Marquette, Xavier, Providence and Seton Hall. 

That said, the image of Dan Hurley going up and asking Isaiah Whaley to mix up the music before a game is so absurd that it had to work.
