Blown up and embarrassed

If Fishy could install a breathalyzer so you had to blow a .07 before you type, the IQ of this thread/board would go up considerably.

KO is at .800 this season. I wouldn't call that underwhelming.

We play in a HORRIBLE conference....

 

[Husky999]

We have exactly 1 legit road win all year.

No, I'm pretty sure much of this display is alcohol and drug free.

What would you have done differently in any of those games? We're still suffering player wise from being banned from the tournament. This team is Napier and a prayer. I'm shocked we won 20+ last year and I'm thrilled we won as many as we did this year. Ollie's starting to recruit his kind of team. Look what he did with someone else's recruits.

No I count that was a . g game to 999…….he only comes here when they lose I'm sure…..pretty easy to figure out!

In our"big" games position by position do we have better players out there this year than our opponents. Probably not. Bazz yup then it goes the other way pretty fast. I hate to say this but Boat just isn't that good. Yup I said it. 37% shooting from a 5'11" guard doesn't cut it. KO has won more with less than HCJC did with Dyson sticks and crew!

 

[Husky999]

And now were in the 8-9 game

 

[Jluc]

We were favorites in the games at home vs florida and cincy. Fact

dude, shut the fuvk up

 

[Huskygamble19]

KO doesn't have his players yet and it makes a difference. He has done avery good job with his non-prototypical players. Someone commented that JC wouldn't let this happen, but I distinctly remember a game where Louisvilee was running us around in circles under his tutelage. i think they beat us by 40 or 50 if i am not mistaken. So *t does happen. KO is doing a good job with this team with some quality wins. The talent just isn't there right now.

Another fact, you're liked about as much as Payday the Cincy fan……...

 

[Husky999]

lol could care less.

 

[patrick]

Honestly this is pathetic. When had Ollie ever won a big game he wasn't supposed to win???

Ban this guy!

 

[boog204]

Terrible match up is code name for more talented. I don't care about the way the other team plays good talented teams find ways to stay competitive. Calhoun teams did. So any team with big guys that plays physical defense is a bad matchup for us? Wow looks like we aren't going far this year. KO got out coached and our guys were just not playing smart today and got out played. Recipe for disaster when we live off one player. Stop SN and you stop uconn. Kind of sad!

Louisville is better and more talented than us. That in part makes a bad matchup. But, we have and will struggle against physical equally athletic teams. Especially ones that have physical talent down low and in the college game Harrell is as physical as they come. He's a man and we have nothing even remotely close to him. We were definitely outcoached (by a hall of famer at that). We are an extremely flawed team in that we really have 1 1/2 (Boat has his great moments and his wtf moments) guys who can create a shot. Everything is really dependent on Bazz making plays. However, there might be 2 or 3 guys in the country who can equal Bazz even on a bad day and Russ Smith, even though he didn't look to score, did that today.

 

[Husky999]

Whaaaaaa. I say we never win a game when were an underdog and all you babies can't take it.

The problem is that you obviously don't know what your talking about and this thread is

EMBARRASSING!

 

[CTFIRERETIRED]

This. I don't know why this is so controversial. The jury is still out. You are judged in college hoops how you do in March. At UConn or anywhere. Ollie is very unproven so far.

Correct me here, if I am wrong, but this will be KO's 1st NCAA'S as head coach, right?

 

[Ct79]

2 years in a row they just quit against Louisville.

2011-2012 and 2010-2011 Louisville spanked us in the Yum Center and 2009-2010 they spanked us in Freedom Hall. They have owned us and it hasn't mattered who was coaching us.

I proudly wore my UCONN hoody to the store after that asswuppin, and a 70 year old lady down here in Greensboro said, "UCONN, I watched the game today, but tomorrow's a new day.

 

[CAHUSKY]

And now were in the 8-9 game

Just a guess, you are:
1. Under 18
2. A chick on her period
3. Mentally unstable
4. A combination of these things.

Relax, take a deep breath. The world will keep on spinning. No need for hysterical pronouncements of eternal damnation after one bad loss.

 

[CAHUSKY]

That's because a 70 year old has some perspective and understands that the program doesn't have to be shut down after 1 particularly bad loss. I think Husky999 would benefit from spending some time with that woman.

 

[jibsey]

There are few on this board who don't get what this team's weaknesses are. At times they are masked with incredible performances by individuals usually Bazz, but after one like this all you can do is sit in the corner and laugh like a hyena for awhile. One thing i'm pretty sure of is that it's not the coaching staff under preparing the players or not anticipating what Louisville was gonna do. Inability to match up or execute, well that's a different story.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Whaaaaaa. I say we never win a game when were an underdog and all you babies can't take it.

It's not that we're all babies, it's that we take into consideration what our team really is. As someone earlier said, if you compared us with the good teams in the league, the only person that we have that is better than theirs is Bazz at the point. You on the other hand find a stat like road wins against whatever you deem a quality opponent and beat on it mercilessly without any kind of intelligent thought put into it. That is why us "babies" are ganging up on you. Step back from your argument for a sec and answer this question which I asked before. What should Ollie have done differently? He will live and die by Napier until the quality of the cast gets better and given what I've seen from the recruiting page we have some good players coming.

So we lost to the defending National Champs on their home court, on senior day, with their all-time winningest combination of players suiting up? Never want to get blown out by almost 40, but if ever there was a day the stars were aligned for it, today was most definitely it. Ollie will get these guys to dust themselves off and hopefully ready to roll for the AAC tourney!

 

[Palatine]

Yeah, but that doesn't get decided after year 1 either. JC has gotten bounced in round 1. Made the NIT a number of times too.

Ollie gets some time.

The team that JC was handed did not have multiple players that had won a NC!!!!! That does not compare to the team that Ollie was handed.

It is insane to compare the two.
