Chaminade Game Thread

[bluestreak]

I love Walton haha

He is the Forest Gump of game calling. Love him.

Walton is frothing at the mouth over Larrier.

On the other hand, I don't begrudge anyone their job, but Walton is just no longer good, IMO.

He doesn't do his homework (Didn't know LMU lost to UConn) and mispronounces names (claims he loved the 2014 team with Shabozz - short o sound - Nappier - short a sound.

And frankly his 70-year-old-with-a-free-spirit-schtick is getting old. He offers as much as Billy Packer at this point.

I'd much rather see SE than AB, he has actual basketball skills

 

[Husky25]

Oh wow. Chaminade!

Have a carb.

Billy Packer never had a nice thing to say about uconn.

Durham kid looks lost

 

[Excalibur]

We really like to do stupid things . . .

 

[djct1999]

Its simple: this team does not play fundamentally sound basketball.

 

[Zionn]

that is coaching

Worst defensive UConn team ever?

Worst defensive UConn team ever.

This team is just plain dumb. They make the same mistakes over and over and over. What other conclusion can you draw? They make mistakes a well schooled 8th grade team would not make. Never seen anything like it.

 

[UConnNick]

Is anyone else noticing that they cannot seem to pronounce our players names? I mean, Walton semi butchered Bazz's name. As an announcer that's pathetic. He was a 2x national champion with a lot of recognition. Say our names right! It's not like we're Middle of Nowhere State College of East Bumblef***. Even if we have played like we are the first 3 games of the year.

He called Larrier "Larry Terrier" the other day. His brain is a little cloudy. Years of bong hits have taken a toll. He's hands down the absolute worst announcer in all of sports. He admitted he didn't even know we beat Loyola-Marymount. He does zero homework and spends most of any game discussing totally unrelated to the game nonsense.

So Jalen was just screaming "Give me the ball" in Rodney's face, right?

 

[Hungryhusky99]

They are shooting out of their ass.

 

[BUHusky]

Welp...

 

[lange10]

This is like a sick joke.

 

[andy34]

Defense has been nothing to write home about, but I've never seen a team like Chaminade hit this many 3s. Crazy

 

[Bomber36]

Do they even know where the 3 pt line is? Because no one is ever near it.

 

[huskyharry]

Terry is using a crutch to hobble off

It's called bad coaching.

 

[Yankees32123]

We're tied with Chaminade at halftime. We gave up 45 points to Chaminade in one half.

 

[superjohn]

Sweet, we are tied against a D2 team at halftime.

 

[UConn76]

• In a season of embarrassing moments, the inability to defend the 3 and the rim is truly embarrassing. Ollie just sits there

 

[jfuchs91]

I thought going to a 2-3 zone was a bad idea, since Chaminade really only shoots 3s.

Run them off the 3PT line in the second half, and we win this handily. They'll have trouble scoring against our length inside the arc.

Also keep in mind that Ollie mostly played Enoch and Durham as our frontcourt in the first half. I like them getting minutes, even if it comes with growing pains.

 

[uconngb]

Get a god damn hand in someone's face!!! My God is this defense atrocious. Someone said Chaminade is shooting their asses off.....not very hard when you are COMPLETELY uncontested. It's like shooting practice.
