So Mikes Bridges gets cleared in 48 hours by NCAA and we have a cloud for many more months to go.

If Emmert doesn’t step up and move investigation along - I will totally out him on why he has a grudge on UConn. It will be very ugly for him.

Why wait? Hasn't he messed with UConn enough?
 
I have beat up on AA this year but he has always played all out. There were times when he was clearly gassed from getting so many minutes but he clearly gave his all. Ollie with 3 guards (Larrier is NOT one) has played 3 all year and they have been exhausted at times leading to breakdowns on offense and defense. I will be at the Temple game and glad to give AA a standing O for trying his best.

That that was a 4 point loss instead of 20 was 100% due to Williams changing the culture on the court.

Meanwhile I'm pretty sure that Larrier's plus/minus today was around -25.

Quite frankly, you nailed it!
I like the fact KO stuck to lineup that was relatively working. A coach has no obligation to play guys who care less than he does.

Yeah but why wait until the last 10 minutes. How about the first 10 minutes of the second half. I have never seen Jalen played that tentative in a Uconn game before. We have no chance if he doesn’t play aggressive.

It's sad to think that he plays this way with hopes of going pro

Cuz he’s “touchy”? Just got that look to him. Yes I judge.

This was quite a referendum of Larrier again,as I stated some months ago and got beat up for. Allan Houston 2.0. Scorer only. Nothing else. Though I said melo. Melo can at least board a little.
 
We had 2 made baskets cancelled out by terrible turnovers. Without that, we at least go to OT.
 
We are at the end of the season and our coaching staff still doesn't know (or apply) the rotation that works.

Larrier and DO were on the bench when we made our run. Williams and Mamadou brought the energy to go with Vital and even AA. Sadly Jalen is now a used car with too much mileage. Had he been managed and the 2 guard floor lineup been utilized, Jalen could have gotten some in-game rest. Polley needs confidence and experience, and should get it at Larrier's expense.

We don't need grave diggers (i.e. huge deficits), but killers putting opponents in their graves or at least warriors going down fighting (much sooner than the end of the game).

Just saying this season is over and our coaching staff still has no clue as to what works, who/when to substitute and who/when to rest. Game/Player management should never take that long.

Classic stat-padding, too-little-too-late performance by Jalen Adams once we were down 20.

If you played the sport or any team sport at a competitive level, you would realize that one player cannot carry the team in every area from stats to emotion on a consistent basis IF he does not have sufficient talent and skilled players around him.
JA started to play well in the 2nd half when he had some guys who wanted to hustle and battle.
Even the best become deflated at times.
I think it very unfair to label JA as stat-padding - if he was he would be hoisting 3s left and right

He had a horrible 1st half in both effort and results - no doubt about it

I've said all year. He and Terry don't play well off of each other. With Terry off the floor, it seems easier for him to play his natural game. Which is dominate the ball, and slash to the rim. He gets shots for others that way as well.
