12-13 Kick-off: UConn vs. AIC Game Thread

[UCONNfan1]

This team is gonna be a work in progress. Ollie has a ton of work to do - not only with the new guys, but in running the team differently from Calhoun. I still think a record of .500 is possible, but I don't get those who predicted 20 wins.

People need to be patient and not expect greatness. Ollie's got to prove he can motivate and coach these guys. I know he can do it but it's not gonna happen day 1...

boatshow is looking nice

 

[CTBasketball]

....from what I've seen this team ain't winning 15 games.

 

[specialisthusky]

nolan clearly is having some nerves going on

 

[hooskies]

Nolan struggling...

 

[UConnSwag11]

lol nolan... like his hustle

 

[CTBasketball]

Nolan is about as raw as it comes.

 

[bobbygt]

Evans was a huge pickup.

 

[Palatine]

Nolan can't make a two-inch shot.

 

[UConnJim]

Evans is a great pickup. Nolan needs strength, but he looks like he will be solid in the long term. You have to remember, what we are seeing now, including the players playing, is not what we will be see in a few weeks. This is a good team to judge Ollie's ability to develop a team.

Missing layups doesnt reflect rawness. Thabeet was raw. Nolan is skinny and, apparently, nervous.

 

[specialisthusky]

omar cal can shoot

 

[UConnJim]

Calhoun looks good!

 

[aceboon]

love Neils's activity, Daniels needs to pick it up or he's gonna lose minutes to him

You can't accept the truth. The kid is raw. When you can't out-muscle a D2 athlete and make a dump layup your so raw.

Thanks for the link. After reading the last page of this thread first I clicked the link and was expecting to see UConn down 20.

There was no muscle involved, he just missed a wide open layup, they'll drop in time

Somewhere out there, Hasheem Thatbeet has just burst a neck vesicle laughing his ass off at your comment.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

damn calhoun is good

 

[aceboon]

Omar is gonna be a stud, next great wing

 

[CTBasketball]

I love how the people on this board are so closed-minded to other's comments.

 

[UConnSwag11]

i like how olander is playing, has improved every year

 

[Palatine]

Way too many back doors for AIC.

 

[CTBasketball]

Way too many back doors for AIC.

Defense has been atrocious.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

You can't accept the truth.

Haha. Tool. It's going to be a long year on here.

if you're referring to your comment about nolan being raw, it didn't apply to that sequence of him missing layups and still getting the rebounds

 

[dapriest]

I know it's early, and I'm very cynical, but I'm afraid to say that Daniels is never going to be very good. If after 1 year at UConn he can't make an impact against AIC, then I'm pretty sure you can wrap that and put a bow on it. Too bad. Seems like a really hard worker.

 

[CTBasketball]

Nice block by Leon.

i think he'll be better than roscoe offensively... defensively we'll have to see
