There are alot of things to improve on but the biggest problem is the whole team is in a shooting funk.

I can't wait for Oriakhi to foul out. They'll be better off.

Brando is a idiot.

Sorry, I know Bazz loves it and it's worked for him in the past, but that reach around poke play is pure garbage defense. Apparently Lamb is starting to pick up it now. Boat does it too. Is it so hard to play straight up honest D!

That was an obvious TN push before and they were sure it was AO.....I was about to smash the TV if they called it on AO.

This team, no character, no identity, no intangibles. Tennessee getting every loose ball, loose rebound. I'm starting to lose faith in this bunch coming together - it's one thing to be a bit misaligned on offense - that can sometimes take a little time. But it's another to just be chronically lacksadaisical. Coming off a bad home loss, you'd expect more on the intensity. They're so talented, so they'll be in it, but there is something so missing with the X factor/grit on this squad. You see a team like Cinci band together - this team just looks like it's ready for next season. There is not a player on this team playing above expectations.

It worked for Cincinnati, maybe someone needs to punch someone and get suspended to create an us vs. them mentality.

Other than Jarnell Stokes, this game is unwatchable.

I'm fairly disgusted with the performance today.

Another steal and foul. Wow.

Low point after low point.

We don't box out. We take terrible shots. We miss every single easy shot. We are sloppy with the ball.

Against an 8-10 SEC team.

No excuse.

Oh, this game's not over. But I won't be impressed if and when we do win it. We should beat the snot out of this team.

And sorry Greg Anthony, Stokes is no Jeff Malone at this point in his career, let alone Karl. He only looks good because everyone else blows.

Hate to say it, but this team reminds me of 2010. I really hope we turn it around. The lack of effort and intensity is really unacceptable considering how much we had last year.

Our front court sucks. This team is all SN and JL. What has happened to Drummond? Is he still sick? I know AO and RS are just bad but why is AD playing at their level. Wow this team needs RB to get another scorer on the team bad. This team doesn't play UCONN basketball at all.

Our big men are just clumsy doofus'.

I mean, Uconn is slowing the game down? This game is tracking to play in the low 50's? What the heck has happened to the Uconn credo of running, pushing the basketball, getting easy baskets, picking up the tempo? Aside from everything else, this team now plays at a pace remiscent of the Big Ten's ultra boring style of hoops. I know we are missing Boatright, but this has been the style with him. It's hard to get to picky after a NC season, but this year has been an absolute conundrum. This Uconn team was better last year when Kemba was on the bench.

Not to harp on the same thing (which I am), but what exactly is our goal in the half court offense? We essentially play 2 on 5 every trip. That's not to say that I want the other guys shooting the ball every time down, but if they never touch the ball, ever, then why would you worry about them in the least?

Worst game I've watched in a long time. Offers nothing. They deserve to lose

What is going on in practices? That's what I want to know. You lose a game and this is how you come out for the next one? JC, what's the deal buddy?

Gives Stokes credit. Big men rarely look good their freshman year and he's done it with just a couple of weeks of practice and games.
