The Rafael Palmeiro of Uconn. And I'm a big fan of the kid, just not sure him as a prospect was managed appropriately.
 
1. Start Ross (I can’t believe I’m saying this) or Stewart (hasn’t earned it). Bring Ball off the bench for a shooting lift. We can’t live with his defense and him/Mullins shooting 30 3’s a game kills any offensive flow. Having a bigger 3 thru 5 makes it harder to finish at the rim. We can’t live with Mullins and Ball’s poor on ball defense against the dribble drive.

2. Reed is gassed at the end of games. Calhoun was right, we need more Reibe not only to benefit Reibe, but to save Reed’s legs.

We played our best basketball with Mullins being out or on a minutes restriction. Make that make sense.

Not diving into this topic again. But it’s circumstantial based on Hurley believing in him way too much.

We’ve had enough. It’s over.

Mullins actually plays good D and moves his legs laterally well. Problem is h can get outmuscled a lot. Ball even with his strong body gets outmuscled and laterally beat. He is hopeless on D.

All it takes is a few losses for everyone to start making all the points I’ve been making from the start. Ya know, being proactive about these issues.

I’ll give you credit on Ross. We play a lot better with him or Stew in the lineup than the combination of Ball and Mullins.

All the legendary players in UConn history and the record for most wins will belong too… Alex Karaban and Samson Johnson. Lol

Just doesn’t feel right man.

All the legendary players at UConn and two players to win back to back championships are... ball don't lie.

Mullins got picked up and physically moved by 150 lb Josh Dix tonight. His lack of physicality ruins any quickness advantage he has. Against Big 12 or SEC teams it will be purely exposed.

He is the most circumstantially decorated player in UConn history. Great kid, should have bolted with the rest of the studs of 2024.

Yup - has held on to way too many of these players. I get some of it, you want to maintain "culture", but when those kids aren't the core contributors, what does it matter. May built a monster in the portal. You can let go of some of these kids to build a more balanced roster, which should be priority. I'm not even sure what Stew brings to these team as a slow 3.

I lost my password about 2 years ago and really had no reason to reset it. I finally did tonight just so I could block you . What a jerfkoff.
 
Team has had one foot on a banana since the beginning of January. Other teams have been getting better while we have been regressing. Not sure Dan has the ability to get this team to an elite level of play, but if anyone can I’d bet on him over any other.

I didn't say he has issues with his lack of muscle. He does fight hard but overall he is still a better defender than Ball.
 
Whatever we lost, we deserved to. Just not a good look for Danny and co complaining about fans, then when they show up, a guy literally walks to Gampel to fire everyone up and we lose to a 500 team at home. Unfortunately not the ideal game to lose but is what it is.
