Both defenses look tough.

7-0 Husky run behind Purvis.

7-0 Husky run behind Purvis.

Got to give him so much credit for swallowing his pride and coming off the bench. That adjustment has helped change our season.

 

[johnhuskies95]

I'd feel so good about our chances long term this season if we could get a competent offense. I'd like to see Adams bring the ball up and move Gibbs off the ball, because we seem to play so much quicker that way.

 

[johnhuskies95]

Decosey is tough.

 

[Matrim55]

16 minutes in, Temple have committed one foul.

 

[BUHusky]

Ollie going real small with Hamilton at the 5...

 

[krinklecut]

How can this teams shot selection be so bad all the time

 

[uchusky32]

KO is emotionally involved.

 

[krinklecut]

And then Nolan just standing there. If you're gonna take crappy shots you can't have crappy centers

 

[Matrim55]

I love Ollie, but this was one of those "WTF are you doing?" halves in terms of his rotations.

Given the fact that Temple is 1) killing us on the offensive boards and 2) susceptible to being victimized by big posts, why hasn't Enoch played a single minute?

I am frustrated.

EDIT: We have 11 defensive rebounds. They have 8 offensive rebounds. KO should've fixed this at the under-12 timeout.

 

[Thunderbird]

7 UConn fouls to Temple's 1...

 

[krinklecut]

I really hate Nolan so much. His sporadic decent moments are not worth his overall awful play

 

[UConn990411]

Temple has been called for one personal foul. One.

duckk this conference.

 

[dtrumpet]

those last 2 minutes were painful. gave away a lot of good effort earlier.

 

[Mots010]

Surely temple has fouled more than one time. I can't even remember the last time that happened.

 

[superjohn]

I thought we played better than them but thanks to an awful finish to the half we are down 2. Decosey is killing us and we need to rebound better. Temple is good but I think we're better.

 

[BugsyCT]

Played hard that half and still manage to give up the lead at the break. SMH.

 

[johnhuskies95]

Horrible defense over the last 5 minutes.

I would think it is borderline impossible to play one half of basketball and only be whistled for one foul. I'm not making any excuses, etc., I'm just saying that it seems impossible for that to happen.

that is crazy isn't it? and its not like we're just out there pumping 3's. we've taken 9 to their 12.

 

[krinklecut]

Why does Enoch not get more minutes? At least the dude is physical and hungry for the win. I'm so sick of watching our centers stand still under the hoop. How many screens have you seen PN set?

 

[Stinger92860]

Rebounding has to improve

 

[Huskyforlife]

Get Enoch on the floor. His freshmen mistakes can't be worse than Nolans production. Only use Nolan when we need defense. We need someone who can grab a rebound and finish inside.

100% agree. He's gonna be developmentally behind because he's losing minutes behind a dude that offers nothing except being able to take a charge. In a game where the whistles aren't being blown, that doesn't help us at all.
