Earth to Jalen. Come in Jalen. You out there?

Lost

Baffling. Not many games left in his UConn career and he wasted this one.

Young guys showed up, glad Hurley let them play.

I know it was just ECU, but this was a watershed game for the turnaround of this program. We are officially in the post-Jalen mindset.

 

[polycom]

How did he have 0 points?

 

[GHSWolverines]

I love it! Hurley sending Jalen a message. The question is...will he get it? He is probably thinking about the super bowl.

 

[ucawn]

How did he have 0 points?

0 in the first half. Benched for 18-19 mins in the 2ns

 

[Yardigan]

How did he have 0 points?

Lack of participation.

 

[Dove]

I have this feeling KO didn't really teach him much. Now 20+ games in under Danny here Jalen is on the bench for an entire second half of a conference game. (2 of his last three halves have sucked ballz). And how many practices under Danny's tutelage?

Lost.

I wonder of he has a condition that we, as fans, will never be privvy to know.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

How did he have 0 points?

By not showing up in the first half and getting his arse benched the entire 2nd half.

Send a message to him against ECU, hope he wants to carry us these difficult next 5 games. I like the approach from Danny.

But today's all about Josh. There's life at the 5 spot for the future.

Hurley had to do this. He is trying to help Jalen but at the same time he can not put up with being disrespected by a player during a game. Jalen is wasting his talent. Someday that will sink in for him.

 

[Stinger92860]

Would like to watch the post game press conference.

 

[lange10]

This won’t have an impact on Jalen because well...Jalen. But I love the message it sends to everyone else as well.

 

[Jimdish255]

Did Jalen or Coach specifically say what happened with him today, or is everyone taking the word of the analyst who recently learned the phrase "teachable moment"?

Not baffling in the slighest. We have 4 years of evidence of who this guy is.

 

[Kitaman]

Jalen kept a poker face on the bench. Not sure if that's good or bad. He was seemingly supporting his team, but didn't seem like he was itching to get back in.

Josh is making my expectations for next season go waaay up. Foolishly or Not

If hasn't got the message by now, he's never going to get it.

Daignault or another horde reporter tweeted that Hurley was giving Jalen a talking to and Jalen walked away, whereupon Hurley yelled that he wasn’t finished. I think Jalen was finished for the day after that.

 

[Travelman6]

24 point win without the best player and second best a no show in the first leading to 2 minutes in the second. I'll take it.

 

[8893]

Someday that will sink in for him.

Or, not.

 

[Towney007]

They’re a win off their total from all of last year. The team doesn’t need him to be good to win but it’d sure help.

But today kinda felt like a big deal. The guys who wanna work, play and be here are gonna get the opportunities. The guys who don’t, wont.

The thought of trotting out a froncourt of Precious, Akok and Carlton next year...

I try not the think about it lol. I get too excited. Carlton has really impressed me as of late

 

[UCDaveD]

Good for Hurley. This is the type of coaching we’ve been missing.
