52-14

[CardiacAndre7]

Of all the issues, we go for this one.

WE DONT DRIVE INTO THE PAINT.

EVERY OTHER TEAM DOES A LOT MORE.

That’s why they get to the line. How hard is it to understand.

 

[August_West]

Jesus. We ARE pats fans.

That sucks.

 

[jdb50]

Sanogo caught a pass near the free throw line late in the game, no one on him, he turned his back to the basket and kicked it to a wing. He has no thought of driving to the basket. Jackson does this while facing the basket. No thought to drive and shoot. Hurley is going to have to reset his team midseason because we have hit a major pothole on offense.

It's the Big East. You need to be able to overcome home cooking if you are a national title contender.

No you don't have to. You only have to go to the tourney. Then you need to win six.

[HuskyFich]

Hurley can’t even comment on it, or he’ll get fined and further put into the penalty box.

We can argue about hurleys in game adjustments…but this absolutely why we’ve lost.

No ifs ands or buts about it.

I rest my case.

 

[Hi-Low]

If 3's aren't falling the team is totally lost on offense.

 

[tykurez]

Or we just have eyes and don’t blindly say “refs are never an issue”

Refs make multiple mistakes every game but I can assure you there’s not a 52-14 level conspiracy going on to get UConn’s opponents to the line to undercut our chances.

It’s a huge problem for Hurley and this team and they need to fix it.

We do nothing to get to the free throw line.

It’s not a conspiracy.

Agree regarding Xavier, not so sure about tonight’s game.

[August_West]

I rest my case.

If Hurley said that in the context you’re implying then I may turn in my fan card. BS. Fouls were called because providence won every race to loose balls and were quicker to rim. Did we get hit without a foul call? sure! If you or Dan Hurley think that’s a difference maker screw you both.

This ain't the Big East. This is a mess.

Jesus what? The same things happens in other BE games. When X beat SJ, SJ made a huge comeback. The officiating was just as one sided during that span as tonight. It is not a UConn thing. It is a conference thing. We just need to get to the tourney. How good do you think UConn is? If UConn is as good as I think they are, we should do OK.

 

[Deepster]

It’s downright embarrassing to blame the refs for tonight.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

We do nothing to get to the free throw line.

It’s not a conspiracy.

We have two post up players that are much better than their defenders. Sanogo and Clingan should be taking 15-20 free throws a game just between the two of them.

Maybe stop fouling so much? Also. They don’t take it to the rim and the paint is never open.

They play a deep drop on Jackson, and just clog the paint .Newton has no space on the drive. They gotta hit some jumpers.

If teams are gonna pack the paint. Shoot good 3s. What is that? Drive to basket draw defense, then drive the close out agains They need to move the ball more and get defenses off balance.

That or run Pick N Roll. Where did Sanogo’s pick and pop go? He sets a screen, he pops to the 3. Didn’t even try it tonight. They need to get defenses out of the lane.

 

[jorge34]

Stop. Just stop.

They weren’t fantom fouls. They were real fouls and there were zero adjustments in their play when they realized they were being called for them. Where’s the coach on that??

They also don’t drive the basket. Providence and Xavier drove the basket all night long.

I’m sorry, but Sanogo gets the ball at the key, with no one on him, and he doesn’t take it to the house. He leaves his back to the basket and kicks out.

When the 3’s don’t fall, you have to change it up. They just don’t.

There needs to be better penetration to the basket. Sanogo needs to use that body. He’s playing soft and wants to finess every shot.

They need to man up on the offensive side of the ball, because they are getting slapped and doing absolutely nothing about it.

They play better with Clingan on the court. It very apparent

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Then someone needs to teach them to draw contact, because they rarely do.

I mean I love the way we’ve been playing. And this is a messageboard you can certainly search my posts. I said we had no guards preseason. I reported closed practice takes. Took lumps for a Newton triple double against whoever, and I’ve enjoyed our early season run. We have no guards. Asking AJ to cover that every night only works for so long.

 

[Mots010]

We doubled up PC with points in the paint in the first half, and only shot 7 threes and it didn’t add up to any advantages the line and we had multiple players in foul trouble.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

But Boneyard martyrs said that it wasn't the refs.

We have no guards to get them ball. Just AJ

We should have been throwing NIL deals at Castle’s feet to get him here early.
