Terrence Samuel says he wants to "show my coach I can play ball" #uconnmen

 

[Hi-Low]

Louisvile is ranked #12 and UConn is their only notable win

Gavin Keefe ‏@GavinKeefe 30s
When asked if he heard from any of his mentors about his ejection, Ollie said, "I heard from my mother. She said calm down a little bit."

Lol.

David Borges ‏@DaveBorges 42s
Terrence Samuel: "I've been ready, waiting for my time ... at first (not playing much) kinda got to me a lot." #UConn

David Borges ‏@DaveBorges 2m
Ollie on Boatright: "He left and he said he wasn’t going to be back, but then we talked and he might be back. I’m planning on him not ..."

David Borges ‏@DaveBorges 2m
Ollie on Boatright (cont'd): "... being back, making sure Terrence is ready, Lasan plays a little bit of point guard.”

William Paxton ‏@wspaxton 8m
Kromah on Samuel: “He looks really good in practice, very confident and he’s a good ball handler, so I have a lot of trust in him.” #UConn

LOL. I sincerely apprecaite the fact that Ollie said the words that he had to during the press conference, but is still refusing to back down over the bogus no-call that started the whole thing. KO is the man.

Any word on if guard Will Cummings will play for Temple tomorrow? I believe he is their second leading scorer, but has been out the last 2 games because of a concusion. If he is out, they become even thinner on the bench. They played 7 guys last game, 2 of which played 40 minutes.

14-4 UConn > 13-4 Memphis.

Meh We got two ranked win just like y'all. Just win out the next two weeks and pretty sure you will be ranked

It really comes down to whether H-Florida + @Memphis > N-Oklahoma State + @Louisville.

I think Florida is the best win of the four, but it was at home. The next two best wins were OSU and Louisville. Seems like a wash to me, and I have no problem being 27 while Memphis is 23. I think both teams will rise in the ranks in the coming weeks.

Houston.

Aaaarrrrggghh. I had blotted that loss out of my brain. Thanks for that...

How in the world is Louisville ranked ahead of Cinci, they have beat memphis, smu and pittsburgh and they are undefeated in conference. I am not a fan of Cinci, but come on, Louisville won by only 12, in their only key victory, a victory in which Uconn played miserable and they had some refs that pretty much sealed the deal....I think this years top 25 has been one of the most inconsistent years I have seen.

I think the voters don't really watch the game. I think y'all are being judged by your first two conference loses which isn't fair at all. I think we are still being judged by our Ok State first meeting and shy they drop us 7-9 spots after we lose a game. How in the world does Baylor and Iowa State stay ranked?

I watched Baylor-Oklahoma over the weekend. Both teams were ranked and looked god awful.
