The Official That Taste of UConn Game Thread

Free throws are the reason we're not up 8-10 pts

DHam has to realize that he is allowed to shoot the basketball, after that half I wish the Goodman scouting report of him being a gunner was accurate

He passed up a couple of open shots below the foul line to either drive into traffic or force a pass somewhere. Shoot 'n ball.

Dham has to take those jumpers on the lane.

Yes, a key to breaking this zone. DHam need to stay disciplined in the center of the zone. Once we get the ball into him, all good possibilities exist.

Purvis FTs hurt. Lousy execution hurt more. Led to easy transitions. Most of those in close misses were really rushed like they lost their minds. O looked like vs. Stanford's zone a couple of years ago. But played 9 bad minutes and are tied. Fixable.

 

[BoatShow]

Anyone else annoyed by all the 6OT talk and no ban talk?

Only player I've ever seen pump fake himself out of open shots into more difficult situations, its a fatal flaw that needs correcting.

Brimah, yikes dude.

 

[traitor71]

The play around the rim has become horrific. One blown opportunity after another. So damn frustrating to watch.

 

[TRest]

Stop passing to brimah

 

[Walker11]

Yea I would be happy with zero more minutes from Amidah.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Brimah has missed on like 3 lobs from DHam he usually finishes, not sure what's going on

 

[nomar]

When we stop playing terribly, we'll take the lead, right?

Our guys are getting right where they need to get, and then doing the wrong thing. Purvis: terrific spin move, gets to 6 feet from the hoop, clear shot, passes out to a 3-point shooter. That's what you do when you DON'T have the shot.

 

[aceboon]

I think the offensive interference has gotten to Brimah, he is completely scrambled on these lob attempts

 

[BugsyCT]

Somebody better step up soon. Been a sluggish effort since that great start.

Terrible possessions are giving SU too many quick possessions.

 

[Stainmaster]

Terrible possessions are giving SU too many quick possessions.

We're playing with less offensive rhythm than we had last year, and that's saying something.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Syracuse is getting what they want when they don't turn it over, KO better rip into this team cuz the defense has been bad

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

Purvis has been terrible. He's been the old Rodney that we all hope is gone. Wide open 3 for an 8 pt lead bricks it and his guy gets a layup on the break.

Nobody is playing very well but he is killing us

 

[tzznandrew]

They have 12 TOs. That hasn't been the problem.

 

[art4life]

This is aggravating.

If I had a nickel for every blown layup, dunk, shots at the rim today I'd have $5...

 

[4UConn]

Need to stay disciplined offensively, despite the frustration.

 

[traitor71]

It's almost like the guys have taken a bunch of stupid pills. Some of the decision making has been mind boggling.

 

[4UConn]

We've always done best against the Syracuse zone when we slow it down a wee bit offensively. Win or lose, a valuable lesson to stay disciplined against a zone.
