Hope we never go back to Maui

A clingan sized hole at Center

 

[uchusky32]

Can't win games fouling like that. Bigs can't stay in the floor. Way to many turnovers for our PGs.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

The best game of Solo Ball’s career. He’s scored double digits in every game this season.

I’m still not confident about our backcourt, but the picture is clearer. Solo Ball gets 25-30 minutes and then figure out the rest of the rotation. Nowell's five assists and zero turnovers opened my eyes too...ready to move forward with Ball, Diarra and Nowell as the top-three guards.

 

[Brochacho]

Bad defense does us in again

 

[How Sway?!]

What's our fouls to minutes ratio over the past two games?

 

[Milo65]

So much depth, yet a lot of missing pieces.

 

[TheHorde]

Can’t win a close game. Sad!

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Bad defense does us in again

The defense was abysmal.

 

[Palatine]

Way too many open threes for the opponent once again.

 

[UCFan1513]

At this point in the year, we are not a good basketball team. Have to wonder if there is an issue of pressure / mindset, or if the talent is not up to snuff. The former is fixable and more likely (I hope)

 

[aceboon]

I don't understand the short leash that Stewart has as opposed to Ross. Don't defend the 3 and can't defend without fouling, not a good recipe for success.

 

[Avon]

Yup

 

[KingAG]

Lol

 

[Shine21]

Diarra should've pass that back to Karaban. Having him take our last two shots with Ball, Karaban and McNeeley on the floor is criminal.

 

[uh-no]

Bad defense does us in again

yep. can't play defense at the foul line either.

 

[phillionaire]

our defense blows chunks

 

[WrenchFan69]

Losing back to back games on blown over the back calls is so funny in a way

 

[uh-no]

At this point in the year, we are not a great or even very good basketball team. Have to wonder if there is an issue of pressure / mindset, or if the talent is not up to snuff. The former is fixable and more likely (I hope)

lots of wings. no PG. No Center. going from #2 to unranked in a week.

 

[jibsey]

Karaban went 1-7 from 3, no 1/8

 

[blkknight1]

This team plays with no basketball intelligence, the defense has been awful. Why Stewart gets no run in the second half of the these games I have no idea. Guy kept Ucon. In it the 1st half against Memphis and helps get the lead in the first half against Colorado and get no time.

 

[KingAG]

Can we just leave Maui tonight? I’m not interested in the 7th place game

 

[Leebo]

Hurley not getting a tech really won the refs over huh.

 

[Lefty2one]

Colorado shot 56% from deep while Memphis shot 54%. You aren't going to win many games with that level of defense.

 

[That Guy]

Is it time we accept that we simply lost way too much talent from last year's team to be able to challenge for a three peat? I don't know what to think right now...

 

[uconntoatl]

 

[Ripper32]

Hurley must have known with the creampuff schedule what growing pains were coming.

 

[Mike Honcho]

I get that AK has the ultimate green light, but maybe stop taking deep NBA threes early in the shot clock when you're cold as ice. 1/9 from the field, 1/7 from three. He did not play like an All American today. 6 points, 6 rebounds, 0 assists in 28 minutes. He's better than that.

Also, our two big men have now both fouled out in consecutive games.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Totally bummed I'm 14 hours ahead of this in the far east and won't have the pleasure of reading this thread with all the reasonable, rational takes.

It's obvious Hurley doesn't have what it takes any more to lead a program with national championship aspirations. The yoga interviews with Bilas and crap like that need to stop and he has to coach the team.

Hopefully Benedict is on top of this and can do the right thing.
