At least Wilson and Polley were good

[UConnStats]

Keep playing like that when Gilbert comes back and maybe we can win a road game this year.

I thought this was going to get out of hand. Turned out I enjoyed watching. Saw a lot of fight and some good things from players trying to fill in shoes. They didn't just roll over.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

if they dont play like this, we probably arent going to score more than 35, 40 points a game. Carlton is just a complete jekyll and hide

 

[Huskyforlife]

I can't be the only one that thought this game was more fun to watch than many of the games with Adams and Gilbert. Loved how aggressive everyone was.

 

[uchusky32]

Gilbert needs to figure out how to make the players around him better. Get them the ball where they can do something with it.

 

[JMick]

They really started to come on strong with 8-10 minutes left in the first. Just too little too late. Not a terrible performance. If Carlton didn't no-show we probably win.

Not sure if we would have played any better.

 

[gtcam]

I thought everyone but BA had some positive momments
I was pleasantly surprised at the determination and with the outcome - thought for sure it was going to be a complete blow-out especially on their home court
I agree that Sid and Polley stepped up but they both lack basic defensive skills that really hurt the team
Just glad the 1st game without both JA and AG wasn't against Houston or Cinci!!!

Cobb played really well in his absense. This L is on the guards, but if Gilbert played I think it likely would have been a W.

 

[UConnDad]

Very surprised it was closer than I thought. Could have cut it to 2. One thing I never noticed with Polley was how he stands off to the left when shooting free throws. Did I see that fight or just old eyes?

What guards?

 

[willie99]

I love Wilson, see a lot of potential in him. Polley has been a bust to me, can't stick a shot when he's needed to, glad to see he finally did something

Maybe he'll grow from this and stop playing scared, like a dear in the headlights

 

[HCope]

Loved Cobb's passing, resulted in a few threes.

 

[Block C]

I honestly think this team can make a run. They play with more aggression. They play with pride. Compared to last year this team is different

 

[gtcam]

This L is on the guards
Don't see it that way - Defensively, Memphis had their way in the lane and too many easy shots inside earlier in the game. The guards weren't great but UConn was missing their two best guards, not their best wings/bigs
Everyone had a hand in the loss BUT nearly everyone had a hand in making it closer than many thought

That inside out is great. Especially for a team that only played on the outside all season. The passes are crisp and accurate as well. Would've been nice to have more of this season.

 

[UConnStats]

What guards?

Lol whatever you want to call the group that went 11-26 with 7 turnovers and 8 assists.

Really though it’s hard to expect them to win without Gilbert or Adams, so I wasn’t really upset with anything. Carlton had a rough game but he had some tough calls go against him.

Unfortunately the remaining schedule won't allow it

I just want this team to play better than last year and that’s what they are doing. There is definitely a difference from last year. At this point I want them to play their hearts out for the rest of the season

 

[Jaker]

Cobb has court vision and is our best passer

 

[Block C]

Limit the turnovers by at least ten a game and we will win. When we get 12 or more a game we lose that simple

 

[Palatine]

Neither of them started fast. So far, both Polley, Wilson and especially Adams only get comfortable when we get behind.

 

[Jay-Bone]

He really does, accept when players are behind him, haha. How does one have such offensive court awareness and such terrible defensive awareness? An enigma.

 

[Block C]

I agree he plays a key role with this team. He needs to be more agressive that what I see anyways

Don’t forget who we were playing. And temple didn’t have Aflakpui.

Yea Cincy and Houston are playing now and it's making my stomach turn thinking about Thursday...
