I dont think we played a disciplined defense for good chunks of the year.
We had enough size and length to do it-but we did not. Our schemes and desire were not always up to par.
Offense seems to come and go--you need players with the ability to make shots--especially at key points but in...
Incredible tourney--every game so close.
Teams who lost in rds 32 and 16 easily couldve made runs to win it all.
Parity is incredible
Only downside is I wish Uconn was just a level or two higher. We could be right there too.
Ive always equated Gonzaga as a second coming of a west coast uconn. Like Uconn they went far but never finished the job. But they never lost the momentum as a program--same we we hadnt until we won it all. Theyre trip has been longer but Im hoping they get it this year
There is no reason to not look at the potential upside of any season.
It really SUCKKKKSSSS! that Jalen got hurt. He was our guy and we were SUPER competitive with him!
If he can come back HEALTHY--we can beat anyone one game in our on league tourney. And thats my hope taking it game by game...
I think JC made huge gains in the program by going abroad.
Another team"Gonzaga" went a similar route as JC.
There are players abroad wont know about--but its an avenue we should travel again.
On the basketball court Iowa looked bigger faster and longer. I never saw UConn with a speed advantage. They could not get into gaps they could not drive past anyone they did not get up absorb the floor they did not get to balls faster they did no affect Iowa on d. In fact Iowa’s press looked...
First off the remaining Syracuse fans were jerks.
Iowa was way way way bigger faster stronger than Uconn--not close. In person in decent seats it was grossly apparent. Uconn looked like a good HS team against Iowa despite any score.
Iowa also played with cohesion. It looked like they stole the...
Vital very important piece. All players need to think pass first unless youre open for shot or dribble drive.If youre not open simply move the ball--if youre open shoot it. If the lane is open take it --if its not move it.
We wouldve scored 100+ if CV played within himself and we all know he...
Guy completely flipped around Nevada in a short time with a 75% winning % Also has NBA coaching pedigree. IF and its a BIG IF IF we go in a different direction he would be a great hire.
I mean its a no brainer 9 man rotation
Gilbert at PG
Adams SG
V Jackson SF
Larrier F
Durham C
Enoch
Vital
Whaley
Andersen
Wed be 18-7 or maybe slightly better.
AND the purge of our young big players.
With a GOOD pg--a PG that gets everyone involved--we couldve been much more of a threat with all of that size we had. I really thought that V Jackson had great potential and the two bigs couldve came a long. If there is a snafu--I think being drained like...
Hi thank you for such a good post. I have been a big Ollie fan since day 1 but even I started to rethink things after the Auburn game--I guess weve all been spoiled for a long time. The lesson I learned is we have to accept some ups and downs until KO gets to fully implement what he wants to do...
Everyon
Rick Pitino has a very long history and deserves a second chance.
My preference is for Kevin to turn it around but we are in territory that has become unacceptable even to the most ardent fan. I want to support ko but is there an avenue out of this? Secondly if there isn't I'd like jc...
I just have not seen Uconn play like this in my lifetime. I’ve been a big Ollie supporter but when something becomes unreasonable- reality has to kick in.
I’d say very drastic actions potentially may have to be taken if this continues.
I know this might not be popular if Ollie is possibly let...
He showed he can score a few easy baskets and rebounded at a great rate--he was active bouncy played hard and effectively. I dont think hes much more than 6-6 but he should start C next game.
We played a really good game and a half. I don’t like that we were physically outmatched but it’s a case of a little bigger stronger faster.
We have a very big center who could not play. I think our pressure defense from the guard position let down. Our ball movement in all of the games was...
A lot to be positive about.
Let me add this to Jalen Adams--if youre out there Jalen--look at Shabazz Napier who stayed that 4th year--improved won a championship and got a 1st rd pick when he was destined to go rd2 or not at all. Not only did he get that guaranteed contract--it gave him the...
I think anyone can see he has done a great job over the last 12 months flushing out problem players. and restocking the team for the long term. I HOPE we do a 25 win season and gell at post season--but whatever the case I hope KO is the coach here a VERY long time.
Use the big man Dave O to start for his great ability to set picks(plus D+R) to get Adams going right away.
I want to see Larrier Adams both over 20--I want to see us in the 90s
we have more potential than people realize.
One thing I learned last night--we have a BIG who can do the intangibles it takes to win play great D set good picks and rebound. An essential.
We have not 1 but 2 stars. Can we get a synergy with them--I think so! Why because theyre exact opposites...
Boy was it an A-Z scenario from last year.
First off we have a bunch of long athletic players that reminds me of 10-15 years ago. They all seemed pretty skilled--a LOT of promise.
IF we can get Vital playing like the end of year last year Gilbert playing well--you add in Larrier and Adams with...
I'm surprised no else has not mention anything about this absolute disaster of a lifetime.
I think as citizens of the US-- we need to come together in our communities to think of ideas on how to help those in need in Texas. I cannot imagine the absolute horrific pain millions of people are going...
