Ouch.

 

[Icehawk]

Well this has been unpleasant.

 

[huskyblooz]

because we were the 8th best team in the conference

 

[How Sway?!]

Time for Dan Hurley and Staff to prove they deserve the bag they got this year

Pain. This team is severely flawed. Hurley has his work cut out for him. Just unacceptable performance all around.

I’m not watching this board meltdown tonight and tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving y’all.

 

[EsquiMex]

Too much fouling, way too much complaining, not many easy baskets.

 

[HuskyFich]

Rip it down to the studs.

No one but Karaban and Diarra deserve minutes.

I’m so angry at the lack of fight.

Refs took every bit of Hurley’s thunder this week, and f them for that. I’m not blaming them, but they made us a spectacle, and we we were outnumbered 2 to 1 of FTs across the tourney.

I’m not overreacting because we will figure this out….but this group better get out of the clouds, they’re the 6th best team in the big east AT BEST right now.

Felt like I went back in time to the KO era this week.

Gross.

So when can we start to panic? Yuck. What an ugly 3 games. Oh well. We have the talent, but don't seem to be even a top 25 team at this time. Let's see how the rest of the season goes... the staff has an awfully lot of work to do...

 

[ctbro1999]

Unmitigated disaster sounds about right.

 

[Yanksrock615]

Rebuilding year. Thankfully we have our best class ever coming in next season.

 

[UCFan1513]

At this point it’s downright embarrassing… how you come back as defending national champs in the transfer portal era and put up three lackluster performances against mid tier teams then get smoked by freaking Dayton. Like I know it’s a ridiculous thing to complain about optics after winning two championships but this is really poor, and I don’t think it’s a talent problem

Hurley has been on tour all summer talking about three peat, have to wonder if the team got a big head. Wake up call for sure

 

[WeAreUCONN]

An unhinged Coach. A blowout loss to Dayton. Back2bkack2back losses to unranked teams. Fans chant Hurley’s angry. We are soft as Charmin. This is like a nightmare.

Okay, forget all this risk adverse BS.

Nowell
Solo
Liam
AK
Reed

Diarra
Aiden
Ross
Stewart
Johnson

Put your most talented players on the floor. Live with the mistakes and let them grow through them. I don’t ever want to see us put a limited transfer over another highly talented recruit again. INVEST in your most talented guys and have a vision for what they can be for a once

While I agree with this, they more than earned it after the last 2 years. Let’s not let a rebuild year rewrite history.

 

[Fishy]

If I hear one more UConn fan complain about the foul disparity, I am going to tap their heads to a television monitor and force them to watch our defense on a loop.

We do not have one player, save Diarra, who even approaches competence defensively.

Also, I really love when teams have point guards because when they don’t, they lose to Dayton by 500 points and finish last in Hawaiian tournaments.

 

[DawgEnjoyer]

Hey guys maybe the whole “we don’t call fouls at practice, it’s a wrestling match out there” might not be a good idea because it….results in us fouling like crazy

 

[navery12]

That was very difficult to watch, but this is still a tournament team. Just one that we should probably be happy to win one game with

 

[lateralous]

Each day just got progressively worse. The team can’t get back to Storrs to reset fast enough.

The player usage was just baffling all tournament

 

[NickDanger]

They got out rebounded 41 to 25!

 

[Chin Diesel]

It's was a bad 60 hours.

Unfortunately us fans are held to the five year rule of not being able to whine for five seasons after a championship.

Reality needs to come fast for the players. It has to he an 8-9 man rotation. And Nowell ahead of Mahaney has to be the hard conversation.

Samson Johnson left Maui with 13 fouls and five rebounds.

Karaban and McNeeley can't alternate games of not making shots.

Players have to learn to play defense with their feet and not their hands and realize it's rarely good to commit fouls 30-35 feet from the basketball.
They got punched in the face three days in a row- coaching staff included. Time to see how they respond.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

 

[UCFan1513]

Frankly, just what the fudge is this. It’s embarrassing

There is a foul disparity because we foul the other team more.

If you haven’t started yet; you are delusional. This isn’t even a tournament team. It’s pretty obvious

 

[housekeys]

Next.

[NIT88]

Could not have predicted this meltdown in my wildest dreams. Maybe the most troubling stat in this game was getting demolished on the boards.

 

[Fishy]

Yep.

If the refs truly called every foul we commit, we’d have three players by the end of the game.

 

[Leebo]

First goal for Johnson... do literally anything on defense without looking like you've been electrocuted at the same time.
