Can’t win everything, every year. Sucks, but this team is proof. We don’t have a dog. Liam tried but he sucks in the moment.
The 2 rings was dumb but I don’t see why Creigton felt disrespected. It was Hurley responding with fans who were heckling him.Based on the post game interview and lip reading the altercation between McDermott and Murray, he seems to have taken exception to Hurley’s “2 rings” comment, and defended that his guys felt disrespected by it
You can see him saying something like “come on man, you came to your place and points at finger said two rings.” Then Murray says “I didn’t say that”
Great class coming in atleastThey did but getting a point guard wouldn't have cured all our ills. We need a pretty significant roster makeover this off-season and have to retain 2 or 3 guys.
I don't.I had super high hopes for Ross this year. Maybe next year
Huh??? UConn's offensive scheme is aweful.Because the offensive system is fine. It’s a weird angle. This team wins and loses on defense
How do you know he didn't make them the exceptional defenders they are? Clingan made a big jump defensively from year 1 to year 2.Open your eyes, Kimani been carried, by exceptional defensive players like Jackson, Clingan, and Castle.
Are you nuts, those aren’t bunnies, those are extremely difficult shots over a 7 footer…which is why he shouldn’t be taking them in the first place.LM needs to become a better finisher at the rim. Misses too many bunnies.
I expected us to start strong after Creighton played 2OT game, but that's been us all season. Terrible 1st halves pretty much every game. I can't explain it.
Do you have more to say, or is being tedious just your nature?Joke, right?
I also think it was AK who didn't block out on that missed FT. That was really the nail in the coffin.64-58 and AK missed that open 3, you could feel the team and the crowd kinda deflate with that miss
He was the closest one but you’re probably right.
Yes but it doesn't cure our athleticism problem. It's not an athletic class and they're slight in build. We have to hit the portal hard to fix the problems.Great class coming in atleast
Hopefully, some guys through the portal with mean streaks too. I feel we've fallen back into having a team of nice guys. We need guys who play angry and take it personally.Great class coming in atleast
It's ridiculous. He goes up and creates body to body contact and NEVER gets called. I'm glad he's gone after his 6th or 7th year, whatever it's been.Not the reason we lost, but Kalk only getting called for 1 foul with all the contact he made with our guys driving in the lane for layups sums up the BE refereeing issues nicely.
Time will tell. Really concerned that after they landed Mullins they recruited a duplicate. Should have gone after an athletic power forward type who can move.Great class coming in atleast
No.I had super high hopes for Ross this year. Maybe next year
There have been so many times this year where I thought this team had finally turned the corner only to be proven wrong. Coming out of Gonzaga, at Marquette , at Creighton etc. While I've given up that this is anything more that a pretty good, yet deeply flawed roster, it would be nice to see it all come together just once and see them play a perfect game. Reed's power down low with Ball, Karaban and McNeeley killing it from downtown. If we actually get out of the first round and could do that against a 1 or 2 seed, i too would consider it a "good year all things considered" no matter what happens afterLets get in the 8 and 9 game and knock off a 1 seed. Would consider it a good year all things considered.
Sadly not gonna happen with zero defenceLets get in the 8 and 9 game and knock off a 1 seed. Would consider it a good year all things considered.
This 100. Adjustments need to be made based on personnel. The one play where they were down 4 with the ball, after they cut 17 pt lead, and they had a shot clock violation because players were standing around trying to figure out what to do got me PO'ed.Kind of simple really - they’re not good enough to win when they don’t play hard and they don’t play hard all that often. At least we do not need to see St. John’s blow them off the court again.
They really need a simpler playbook and the staff is still out there trying to prove they can play chess with this group of checker players.
They’re the exact same team they were in November.
We want Duke. (Not really, but I feel like it'll happen)Lets get in the 8 and 9 game and knock off a 1 seed. Would consider it a good year all things considered.
A fine offense wouldn’t have 3 shot clock violations.Because the offensive system is fine. It’s a weird angle. This team wins and loses on defense
Let's get an 8/9 game against Creighton in the first round. That would be fun.
