Seriously……all the Hurley haters should step forward for their penance.
With all the program has been through, the clear culture that Hurley had been instilling throughout, the recruiting momentum, the on court results and steady ascension back into a legitimate top 25 team for the better part...
Sorry you’re just wrong. Jackson undercut on rebounds.
Sanogo never gets a whistle underneath despite being hacked.
Phantom illegal screen stopped our late run.
We don’t get any loose ball fouls in our favor.
2 things can be true:
The team didn’t play great
Officiating hugely impacted the game
I don’t get fans who just stick their head in the sand and act like awful reffing doesn’t change games.
We’ve been outscored 52-14 from the FT line the last 2 games.
It’s fine to talk about the flaws of the team, but the reality is WILDLY lopsided officiating and free throws are the only reason we have 2 Ls right now.
It’s impossible to get into a flow/rhythm with this kind of disparity.
You...
Kudos to Gaff who’s powered through a really frustrating season and played great in the first half tonight to keep us in it. Maybe we found something with him needing space to drive with Sanogo out of the lineup.
Problem was he was glued to the bench in the 2nd half. Same thing happened with...
We really need to think about lineup structure.
Having Whaley on the floor with Sanogo makes it extremely easy to sag on him and deny the ball with 2 players. Creighton did it and Xavier did it tonight.
A small lineup with Polley/Jackson/or Martin at the 4 would be much more conducive to...
Idk what our coach is supposed to do when our “best player” gets dominated all game and can’t run an offense or hit a shot.
This team is going nowhere so long as RJ Cole is a part of it.
I’ll take a stab at it…..
While everyone agrees the program is moving in the right direction and things are overwhelmingly better than they were several years ago, that sentiment of just saying “hey it’s fine we’re losing remember 2016” is getting old.
1. I think the way last season ended with...
The other 3-4 names aren’t praised as “the next great UConn player/PG” or lauded as all Big East caliber guys.
If we agree RJ is just another piece on this team okay, but that’s not how he’s treated so he gets the blame.
Common denominator in all these disappointments and late game droughts is the fact that RJ just is not good enough to pull out a W in these situations.
When he’s in hero mode and things are falling, sure we all love him. But he’s the DEFINITION of a ball stopper. He sits around and dribbles...
Even if you just throw in a token half court pressure to gas him a bit or force the ball out of his hands and make them get it back to him. He legit just walked the ball to the 3 point line with no resistance every time and we let him ISO.
The game was lost in the 10 minutes or so where we just let Richmond walk the ball up the court 12-15 possessions in a row without making any adjustments.
We didn’t pressure the ball in the back court, hedge screens to force the ball away from him, double in the post, anything. When you sit...
Hey figured I’d post this here. I’ve been searching online for years for a team autographed ball from the 2014 title team. I have a 99, 04, and 11 ball so looking to complete my set.
If anyone has one or knows anyone who has one that would be interested in selling please let me know.
Disagree here. He doesn’t have to be a huge scorer to be effective. He’s CLEARLY our best distributor on offense. He made 3-4 awesome finds today for easy buckets/open 3s. He doesn’t turn it over, plays very good D, and rebounds.
Id much rather have his steady hand running things v RJ. Not...
Bumping this up. Was able to find an ‘04 ball on eBay finally.
No such luck with a decent ‘14 ball. If you have one you are willing to sell please PM me.
Any good memorabilia dealer recommendations that specialize in UConn stuff would also be appreciated.
thanks
Pat McAfee does some commentating/announcing for WWE and recently has been involved in an angle with one of the wrestlers. He brought some backup to the ring with him tonight, including our very own Darius Butler:
Figured I’d post this here:
I’m currently in search of team auto basketballs for the ‘04/‘14 championship teams to add to my collection.
I check eBay regularly and haven’t had a ton of luck finding quality options for these years.
Does anyone have one of these they’d be willing to sell or...
I bought from Wondercide earlier this year: Wondercide | Pest Protection for Pets Homes Families | Fleas & Ticks
Got a bottle of the ready to spray and then the concentrate and have been able to do my whole yard (like 15k sq ft) a couple of times already. It's super easy and has definitely cut...
We have a ProForm Studio Bike Pro in our home gym that my girlfriend uses a ton. They offer interest free financing that includes their own class subscription service called "iFit".
It's got the digital resistance, same as the Peloton, built in screen, everything. There's a large variety of...
Not a huge one on the stat sheet but I distinctly remember Donnell Beverly’s game @Indiana in ‘08. This was right after Dyson and Wiggins got suspended so we were super thin.
Don Bev played like 20 minutes and locked up Eric Gordon the whole time.
Yeah and people post more negative yelp reviews than positive ones.
What’s your point?
Was excited to be in on a big time, program advancing transfer like Nolley and then the wind gets taken out of the sails with the wing version of Brendan Adams.
He’s not bad, but when you keep getting the...
We missed on Kofi and got stuck with Springs.
Seems like Hurley wasn’t confident in landing Nolley so we settle for Martin.
Couldn’t close Cliff in the spring so took Javonte Brown Ferguson
I’m hoping we don’t see the same story play out with Sanogo.
At some point we’re going to have to start getting our...
