This thread is as sparsely populated as the XL Center. Thanks for scheduling two consecutive matinees for us, ESPN.

Wow, I turned it on with 6 minutes gone by and we're not down 15!!!

 

[UConnNick]

Good grief Vital, give it up to a wide open Brimah for an uncontested dunk. Instead he launches a contested 10 footer in the lane.

 

[nomar]

Jae Crowder is still killing us

 

[uconngb]

Purvis will NEVER learn on the fast break......he is 0-4 on the fast break today without even hitting the rim once. He really is useless out there, come on Diallo, please put him on the bench!!

 

[LStudfellow]

Stephen Enoch and Kentan Facey have really improved over the first 6 weeks of this season. That turnaround J by Enoch on the baseline is a shot we have not seen from a UConn big man in many years (not counting DeAndre D... I mean a straight PF or C).

And then Purvis pulls his stupid crap by going 1-on-2, instead of pulling it out, and it turns into a wide open 3-pointer on the other end. As many of you have said, his basketball IQ is just non-existent.

Nice job to keep the lead at the half with Jalen on the bench for the last 8+ minutes.

 

[jibsey]

Purvis hurting us, but am I the only one impressed by Enoch today? Beautiful offensive moves.

That play had me pulling my remaining hair out. Such a boneheaded play when you have the lead and getting close to halftime. So dumb.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

This is very promising from Enoch. It's not like Auburn are outstandingly small either.

 

[UConn990411]

God forbid Ollie actually defends his players after some of these egregious calls.

 

[GenesChin]

See as an Auburn fan , it feels like Uconn is going Mike atyson on our players and should have more calls

At the very least, SEC officials love them some TV time. Used to both teams being in double bonus in the first 6-8 minutes of every game

 

[UConnDan97]

This game is going to test our heart. Fighting against injuries and refs. But staying strong...

 

[CardiacAndre7]

sick rodney

 

[BugsyCT]

Between the injuries & the fouls, it's gonna take everything left in the tank to eke this one out.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I know a lot of you guys love Jackson, but as of right now he is a liability on offense. Hopefully he kills it at the end

 

[Milo65]

Purvis had three straight possessions around the 5 min mark, two drives and an empty 3, no points...Bad Rodney

 

[nomar]

This has taken a brutal turn.

 

[UConnDan97]

Every play from now on should be straight to the rim. Only shoot the three on a kick out...

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Harper is taking it to our bigs like they aren't there

 

[Milo65]

Shooting 14% from 3 and Brimah playing Charmin soft

 

[ConnZag3]

It's unbelievable how no one on this team (that's left available at least...) can consistently make a WIDE OPEN jumper.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Yikes

 

[GenesChin]

All your bigs are in foul trouble. Harper is a nightmare for y'all in this situation

Harper is like 120lb, a light breeze can knock him over and draw a foul
