Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong

I still like Hurley, but one team was ready for the other team tonight.

Teams rarely win when their top 3 players put up the numbers UConn's did tonight. Bouck shot around 33% from field and the FT line and 16 % from 3 point range. Cole did not have a good shooting night. And then there is Martin. I love him as a player and realize he had 11 rebounds, but it matters little when you score 2 points and look like you're wearing cement shoes on defense.
Also, your 6th man of the year gets 5 shots and was open a few times and his teammates missed him.

Hurley needs to be looking for transfers who shoot high percentage or can break a defense down off the dribble.

He better do a better job if he goes looking for transfers to plug holes. They better have an it factor. The 2 we had tonight looked like they belonged in the Atlantic 10. That won't cut it against the Power 5.

Who gives a about the Big 10?

Our coach just the bed. Week of prep and that's what we got?

And even more troubling? There's like 6 guys on this roster NOT recruited by Kevin Ollie that will give you 15 one night and ZERO the next. That isn't gonna cut it.

Can't hit free throws either in big spots. We are not finding tough enough guys yet.

Those kids tried. Anyone who refuses to see that is talking crap. I think the offense was poorly executed that’s on coach. The poor shooting is on the players. Get better shooters.

Bouknight has been flashy inconsistent especially since the Villanova game. He tied Gaffney in TOs with 3 and was 2 for 6 from the line. I was amazed early on the game when Bouknight had that wide open three, waited a second looked to see if anyone was going to guard him and then dribbled off. I though to myself that is not a good sign if he wants to send a message. TM's offense has just disappeared. Sanogo two early personals and MDs three success made us alter a big part of our game. I think Gaffney was our best player tonight. His defense was good and he had three steals. With his speed his driving to the basket was our best offensive weapon down the stretch. Whaley played good defense but not much on offense. I agree we need shooters.
