Before the game Hurley said he owns msg. We have nothing to show for it. Incredibly frustrating

We get it, you hate Hurley. Lose a 2 point game to the #6 team in the nation when our team plays like crap and everyone melts down? I get it, we could have won. I never had that feeling in this game. Just an off night. Whatever

 

[Hey Adrien!]

My major take away from this game is that there will be a lot of film of rushed shots and looking forward to the adjustments the team could make if in a situation to prevent them and just play their offense.

Yawn. That’s getting old. Please defend his coaching and his record at uconn instead of deflecting.

Sanogo was -11 in 30 minutes.
Clingan was +9 in 10 minutes.

Clingan also played against a Small Forward at center.

I was fine with no timeout. And should’ve passed to Adama

Thank you

Newton was abused the entire game without getting calls. But you can't have Hawk and Jackson play like that and win. Marquette's D was great but the team missed wide open threes a few times, missed free throws, threw the ball away on weird I don't know what they were thinking plays and seemingly didn't notice they were getting outplayed until it was too late. Switch to the zone helped, I would have switched back late. People always seem to hammer Adama when we lose. The team had lots of problems tonight, he wasn't even in the top ten of the list.

Just finished watching as I had it taped- UConn missed having Jackson in at the end, with 9 seconds to go, he would have brought the ball up in a hurry. Nice game by Allene except for that poor pass. I didn't like the zone actually, I get why it was employed as too many times Marquette could get by the UConn defender 1 on 1, which zone corrects. But, too many good shooters on Marquette, UConn's comeback after being down 10 was fueled in part by them just missing open shots, which they made enough again at end. What a suffocating defense by Marquette, though- Shaka is a really good coach too.

You love piling on Hurley no matter what, we lost by 2 points in a game where our first round pick couldn’t make a shot…and our other two shooters couldn’t get it going. I know you hate Hurley but be objective a little bit about where the fault lies.

Karaban went 4-5 from the field and hit both treys.

Clingan also played against a Small Forward at center.

Then why didn’t he play more if it was working?

 

[SixRings]

I would’ve called the time out and thought it was going to happen but it didn’t. And I’m okay with it. Do you really think we would’ve gotten a shot off if we let Shaka set up his defense? We have been terrible with the X’s and O’s on setting up shots for last second opportunities. Hawk wasn’t a great option tonight but we probably would’ve turned the ball over if we called the time out.

 

[NJHusky]

You can't tell me that a few of those Marquette shots weren't what most people call luck...

Luck evens out…..we’re bad in close games

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Newton should have driven to the hoop on the last possession, not end up in the corner and then pass with little time left to Hawkins. We only needed two points to tie! Strange decisions at key points.

He needed to push the ball upcourt at a much higher tempo. He seemed to be in no rush and that was a large part if what left us with Hawkins forcing a step-back while guarded.

There is however plenty of blame to go around on this loss.

 

[PAHusky]

On to the tournament. Need to win some games there or it’s tough to call this season progress. Regular season rankings and early season tournament wins are mostly meaningless. No regular season title and another BET semi exit. Think and hope we can win a couple in the next few weeks because Hurley and this team need to turn the voodoo around.

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

When your best player has a very off game, it's going to be hard to win. Hawk missed a number of wide open threes. Joey C had two very clean looks down the stretch and couldn't hit one... that's the way it goes.... shots made (like the bomb the Marquette guy made as the clock was running down) and shots missed, like a number from Hawkins and the last two from Joey C... We are still a threat in the Big Dance... I hope!

 

[UCfor3]

Yes, we should all be content with mediocrity.

Agreed. We lost to the #6 team in the country, not St Johns

Exactly. All of a sudden losing to the conference champs by 2 points after playing great for the last 10 games and putting all that in perspective is accepting mediocrity? Some of you guys are so fragile and think we should never lose under any circumstances. You don't accept mediocrity. Ok. Now what? Gonna picket outside Gampel?

 

[wingsfan055]

I dont mind the 3 as the last shot to win it. But, UConn should have had a much better look at 3 to win it. Thats what the coach is for, thats what player execution is for. Too many times, UConn games has ended this way this season. Thats my biggest gripe.

 

[uconn1999]

8 pts in last 9:30, see ya later

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Then why didn’t he play more if it was working?

Because Adama is better lol

 

[Hi-Low]

It was a great game against a Final 4 caliber team with best PG in country that came down to last shot. Not upset really just disappointed not playing tomorrow.

If lost that game in NCAA tourney on the other hand I would be a basket case.

Yawn. That’s getting old. Please defend his coaching and his record at uconn instead of deflecting.

We have improved every single season he's been here. Now it comes to winning in the tournament, which starts Thursday. If we go out round 1 you won't find anyone here defending him

 

[gsmooth]

Hugely disappointing game from him. He really looked like he turned the corner and was dominating games for long stretches but then late second half yesterday happened and this game happened.

It looks like yesterday’s bad last 10 minutes carried over to today game For Andre

Players have to make shots, what do u want? Andre and Hawkins sucked tonight. I'm not naive to hurleys faults but some people on here want to blame everything on him

Because Adama is better lol

When did our comeback start and who was in for it?
