Chief’s Briefs - Florida Edition

But there was exactly three possessions where UConn had potential for a FG inside those 5 minutes, as they got FTs the other possessions. They missed one, and had two TOs.

There was a TV timeout after the first TO and IConn got Karaban an open lane to the basket, bad shot, good play.


Then Liam turned it over and Hurley called his timeout. UConn got an open Ball three.


What do you want there. For Hurley to call a TO after a missed layup? Or after the FTs? He got a timeout after each TO, and got good open shots for his two best shooters after those TOs. That’s all he could have done.

Yeah I thought it was moronic when they were emphasizing UConn’s field goal drought when we’d made a bunch of free throws. Who cares where you get your points?

Couple of points:

1. All year we struggled closing out and being unable to foot on the neck when we had teams on the precipice. We had a few chances tonight to make some big plays and it didn’t happen.

2. We were generally a slow unauthentic team. It speaks to what Hurley can get out of his team.

3. The high hedge cannot be used all the time. I get the need because it compensates for our penetration vulnerability, we should be getting faster, taller more athletic guards.

4. We need to get out of the BigEast clown conference sooner rather than later, before it drags us under. You can see the writing on the wall with shift to the SEC throwing $$ around getting longer, faster and overall better athletes.

5. Be proud of a hell of an effort against a far more athletic team. We played better team basketball and almost had them.

Agree with most of what you said. The Big East Commissioner is the same genius who never could make a positive money year for the WNBA. How she continues to get and maintain jobs is amazing.
The SEC is the best home for UConn. We would also guarantee that they would dominant in the Northeast media market and as the best conference in basketball.
Chief could make that happen if someone in power give me that assignment.

Where's the invitation, or even the hint of one? Don't hold your breath.

Need to be given that assignment.
