There are many ways to react to seeing a 30-15 national championship rout quickly evaporate into a narrow one-point lead. Frustratingly shoving a teammate because he wasn’t in the proper spot on the floor skews toward the overreactive side.

But that’s what Connecticut star senior Shabazz Napier did to his Ryan Boatright on Monday night in the midst of a Kentucky run that had UConn in a brutal 2-13 shooting stretch. Call it One Surly Moment.

After the shove, Boatright looked just as angry as Napier. Though just when you thought UConn’s frustration was bubbling over as the team continued its scoring drought, the Huskies pushed, again, to surge to a nine-point lead with 11 minutes left in the second half.
