Disgusting

[housekeys]

o u make the rules?

What rules? What I said makes no sense to you?

some of you have this idea that because people are tired of KO's BS and express frustration we are somehow lesser fans than anyone else. it's ridiculous.

Here is the problem with the OP and your support of it. You can bitch all you want once the game is over. But when the game is on, you support the team, period. What you guys are doing is the equivalent of arguing with your fellow soldiers, while in a fox hole, with the enemy pounding you. Better pick up a weapon and fight. If you band together when it counts, you might have a chance to argue afterwards. #Neidermeyer

Mutinees always think they are of virtue. Sometimes they're right.

This is not about who supports the team more. I share in your disgust. My opinion is that fans, no matter what the level, support the team they are fans of, when that team is competing. I share in your disgust now that the game is over. But I will watch and be a supporter of the team, when this team plays their next game.

We have some girth on this team with Diarra, Cobb and DO. The problem is they are too talented.

But DO can’t really show it off being parked on the bench cuz he’s not any good which makes him a liability, n Cobb n Diarra can’t stay outta foul trouble messing up our stability n flow , I mean every foul they put ppl on the line smh

 

[tentoes4rings]

I think KO always wanted to play small ball this year but unfortunately he missed on SW(first time), Waters and the Italian kid and then to had to scramble for what ever was left. I mean KW and DO shouldn't be even ball boys on this team. LOL!

Agreed, that’s 2 scholarships to guys who provide nothing, and right now Polley provides nothing either. KO for years has favored skinny, “athletic” guys with no regard for stronger, fundamentally sound players. There are plenty of European bigs or stronger American players that could have helped us these past 4 years but they didn’t fit the profile.

 

[mauconnfan]

That's it, you care and we don't. You clearly aren't a Giants fan because you thought McAdoo and Reese stunk and you wanted them gone.

Makes a lot of sense, to someone LOL

Also, it would be nice if he could recruit a shooter. Of course Calhoun had this issues in his later years too but at least he recruited at a higher level.

I hope they’re built Ford tough lol

 

[mauconnfan]

Constantly humping my leg isn't going to make Ollie a good coach or make Uconn basketball relevant again. In the words of Ollie, "Do you" though.

humping your leg? LOL do you even know what you're talking about unless it's the famous "Fire KO"? You sound foolish...again.

Trust me, they’re not gonna hear us cheering on our boys during the game While we’re typing on the boneyard

He did, but Vance and his father decided to leave after one year. He’d be a huge help right now.

Maybe Dickie V was right that UConn just won't be able to get enough good players in the AAC.

Load of baloney . URI has better recruited talent than we do and play better. And they are playing at a dump in Kingston, RI. The AAC has some very strong basketball teams. In fact, I fear we are going to get taken apart by far too many. We will not take talent from Kentucky, Puke or Kansas, but we never really did. We found the players we needed, they got coached up, played UConn brand basketball and won. Too easy to blame the AAC when we can barely compete with Columbia and Monmouth.

One shooter in 5 years is not acceptable. If Jalen had someone who could hit a open 3 we would be a totally different team and would take the pressure off of him.

 

[Athlete94]

Again, I was at the game too, this team just isn’t good. The look on AD Dave said it all..

Exactly and why can't we at least finish in the top 3 of this so called mediocre conference?

As I said before, he continually overlooks Europeans and certain American players in favor of skinny guys who can’t shoot because they didn’t fit the profile. I’m really interested in why he changed his tune and recruited Lukas Kisunas. Was that a Chillious recruit?

 

[UCfor3]

If Ollie is never going to play 2 bigs at once, it makes no sense to fill so may scholarship with those positions while being left shorthanded at guard year after year. This is like the 3rd straight year we are shorthanded on the perimeter while 5 bigs are warming the bench at all times. His default mode is 3 guards, a wing at the 4 and a center. Even if you think its absurd, its even more absurd that his roster is still so out of balance that he doesnt have enough players at the positions to play the only style of ball he knows how to coach. Its like he doesnt even know himself.

Hey, at least he filled all the scholarships this year

No, that's not it

 

[Stainmaster]

Don't forget we was and they defense.

The fact that you're actually upset by that speaks volumes about your character.

 

[Saab04]

It's all on Ollie, my god when do the excuses stop. I've never seen so much delusion.

Exactly why we are mediocre at best. Some fans have been delusional. Ollie should have been gotten his shit together. Six years and it seems to me like we are getting worse and worse each year.

 

[tentoes4rings]

I didn’t say it upset me. Someone pointed out something cringeworthy and I added a couple. Not surprising you’d have an issue with it as the President of The Kevin Ollie Fan Club. Go put your pom poms away so they’re ready to go for the next game Stairmaster.

LOL, that is BS. You (and many others) have nothing on me, so you have no choice but to make crap up.

You're complaining about "we was" and "they defense" on page 2, and bemoaning the fact that Ollie doesn't recruit enough European players. 2+2=4.

 

[tentoes4rings]

I’ll put my character up against your holier than thou character anyday Stairmaster. It doesn’t surprise me that you have an issue with casting a wider net to find talent. Heck, it’s only taken you four years to see our storied program is in decay. Or are you still too dense to see that?

 

[Hi-Low]

So what does it take & when does AD make the change? It's been a very bad post 2014 brand of b-ball...except for a few games in 15-16 where we were at least respectable it has been excruciatingly awful. I think we have of body of work now to know it's unlikely to change.
