Guess how many 3s New Mexico State make today?

[uconngb]

If Arkansas played like today on Thursday vs NMST they would have lost by alot more than we did. Bad timing.

Um, no. Cuz they actually devised a game plan to stop Allen. Ergo why he has 7 points, not 37

 

[uconngb]

Just wondering - has Hurley stated (anywhere) that he takes some blame and will look to get better as a coach? That would be a good start.

If he has, please let me know. That would help dissipate some frustration!

The answer is no. He’s still talking about the dumpster fire he inherited and how much better the program is now than then. He never takes accountability.

This may be the worst tourney game offensively I’ve ever seen

 

[Leebo]

I mean re this game…

Yeah, you're right, I'm sure if he thought he needs to work on his coaching in the past, this game would have made him think he doesn't have to.

 

[mauconnfan]

How does Allen get a wide open 3? Wow

 

[UncleSpliff]

I can’t believe this team beat us. Frankly they’re terrible. This offensive performance is making us look like the 2016 Golden St Warriors. Talk about playing the luckiest game ever.

 

[auror]

Improved to 5/24 on that make. Probably need at least 1 more.

 

[mauconnfan]

Imagine a coach bailing out his guard in trouble with a time out?

 

[methodology]

Didn’t he coach in the NBA?

He was at Golden St when they were trash and did pretty well (given the situation) then went to where careers go to die in Sacramento. Did great in the D league and developed some notable players

Blast from the past: For Eric Musselman, a life and love of basketball

Editor's note: In only his second season at Arkansas, former Nevada coach Eric Musselman has led the Razorbacks to its first Sweet 16 berth since 1996. With Musselman's name trending, I figured I'd share the feature story I wrote on Musselman when he was hired by Nevada in March 2015. Here is...

UConn butler up there 53-41 final. Difficult to watch if you had no horse in the race and it was still tough

 

[Dibbie]

What a shame, these 2 teams are garbage

 

[NCHusky91]

Final answer: 6/26

 

[ScottVib]

Most predictable regression ever. They picked up the pace to get to 6-26 after starting 3-21

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Most predictable regression ever. They picked up the pace to get to 6-26 after starting 3-21

And yet they took it to the wire against an offensive genius. Tough team.

 

[Conquistador]

Yeah, you're right, I'm sure if he thought he needs to work on his coaching in the past, this game would have made him think he doesn't have to.

So you don’t think something in the form of “UConn Nation I know you’re pissed. I am pissed as well and need to do better. I am committed to getting better as a coach” is warranted. I sure do.

I guess you’re good with no comment from him.

 

[GotNets?]

NMS is awful and the Hogs played terribly but the coaching was good. They executed… I thought they’d straight up destroy them but I think they shot 20%.

 

[mrl2016]

6/26 and Arkansas could barely hang on

New Mexico had their shooting game of the year and was a one/two possession game down the stretch

Sometimes you get teams on the wrong night

Yeah, I'm good with no comment from him, he's gonna get killed by somebody no matter what he says. We all know he needs to do better, he doesn't need to say it publicly. He needs to do it

This is not getting enough attention. It was an enormous mistake.

 

[BigFanCT]

We should be going to a sweet 16

Musselman is

 

[AntG168]

Probably the biggest and most valid knock on Hurley last night. It was malpractice honestly

This made me laugh.

funny how ’bad timing‘ happens all too frequently to this team. maybe there are some other issues?

 

[98Uconn]

Did every report expect his teammates to shoot 7-11 from 3? This is a massive part to this puzzle that many are refusing to acknowledge. Had they short they’re percentage we still win even if Allen dropped 50.

I don’t know why all the D1 basketball coaches (ie; experts from their couch) who post here can’t grasp this. We ran into a buzzsaw.. should we have still won; probably.. but it’s not as simple as many make it seem
