Everyone that complains about UConn missing layups…

[HuskyNan]

Please don’t make this an opportunity to air your beef with Tennessee. I see this more as a statement on the power of SEC offenses.

 

[Urshurak]

It’s the completely open, uncontested, missed bunnies that drive Geno to drink I’m sure…

 

[Beemer]

Wow, that was bad. In a totally funny way

 

[Vancat]

Bunnies

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

At least when our ladies miss layups they don't hit the bottom of the backboard or the bottom of the front rim!

With the wine he buys and his own wine, being driven to drink wouldn't be that hard...

I don't get it. We can denigrate the offenses of an entire conference, but not that of a specific team within that conference ? (BTW, Tennessee's offense is much better this year, principally because of Jackson)
"That's a difference without a distinction"
(Or, at the very least, a very small distinction)

Ahhhh..................a window of opportunity here. It couldn't happen to a more deserving team!!!

Apparently you do need more than rebounding to win championships. Who knew?

A basketball game may break out.

I mean dredging up ancient history

 

[Bone Dog]

I think we're much better about hitting layups than we were last year.

I think people complain about any BB player missing a layup, even is middle school.

 

[HuskyNan]

Only UConn fans can complain about missed layups after a 30 point win

 

[JonathanXIV]

My question. On the breakaway, where was the Tennessee defender going?

 

[JellyBean]

Nah. We give middle school & high school kids a pass, to a degree, on the missed bunnies...depending on your skill level.

 

[JellyBean]

Before our high school season starts, I show my high school players a video of pros and college players missing layups. Just to bring some level of awareness to my high school team that, missed layups happen. You just move on and try not to let those moments weigh you down.

It's a video from a few years ago but you may recognize #2 as old friend Evina Westbrook.

Making or missing a layup basically is prevalent on one thing.......concentration. You’ve made hundreds of these before. You know where to put the ball on the backboard, so put it there. If it gets blocked...so be it. If it doesn’t, you score. If you get fouled, you go to the line for two. Take care and execute the play in front of you.

Sue Bird on many occasions told her teammates.....”when the ball comes your way, make a play.” that made or missed layup could be the difference in a 1-point win or loss. South Carolina finished the season undefeated. They had two overtime wins against Stanford and Ole Miss. One more made layup that was missed in regulation wins these 2 games.

You never know what the final score will be. That easy “routine” bunny that was missed could change the complexion of the game in the closing seconds. A two possession game versus a one possession game in the last minute puts more pressure and on the team that’s trailing, and heightens their sense of urgency.

I did not anticipate how hard I would laugh watching this.

 

[Huskyfan63]

I'm actually surprised how many college players I see who don't use their left hand for a layup on the left side of the basket. It results in a lot of blocks since they don't shield access to the ball with their body.

 

[PacoSwede]

why not? they are a flaw regardless of the score.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

THOSE were NOT layups! lol They looked more like attempts to knock chewing gum off the bottom of the rim and backboard.
