Croswell gets away with absolute murder all game. The refs with Cooley and PC are the exact opposite of Dan Hurley and UConn. And he still whines.

They are better than us but they do get calls no doubt. But they’re coached better as well.

IMO there was only maybe one crunch time game UConn should have won. SHU. Perhaps X at home but UConn shot itself in the foot the first half of that game, that was less a failure at the end of game and more so at the beginning. The rest, not so much.

Our late game decision making skills are as good as a 4 year old’s in pickup.

What you just watched gentlemen is a team that doesn’t rattle providence never led by more than 4 until 2 minutes left in 2nd OT, and that’s not unusual for them it’s de rigueur

Horrible win for Cooley and PC.

Creighton spit the bit in 2OT, PC ends up winning by more than 5pts. Prime opportunity for Cooley to pad his “close game” record wasted.

In the meantime, another bad road loss for McDermott against a “good” BE team. Just can’t win away games. Wonder if his seat is getting hotter back in corn country?

Whelp, I don’t think a coach is on hot seat with a top 3 BigEast seed. And he played without his best player for about 6 weeks.

You do realize PC just lost at SJU? Road game losses are a thing in the BE, but sure hang your hat on umm.

Sure, don't disagree but then again UConn only played one close game at home, where I maintain UConn lost in the first half. You want to argue not finishing a 17 point comeback was poor decision making. Your opinion, but not one I agree with.

UConn loses a close one at home where end of game was the reason UConn lost and I'll be the first one to blame Hurley.

Providence is competing for back to back regular season titles, UConn is competing for 5th place.

We lost to SJU at home. Actually we got bitchslapped by them at home. Do you watch games? You want to penalize providence for losing a road game against a team that punk’d us at home?

  1. @ Xavier was close late until we collapsed.
  2. v. Xavier was not close, then we made it close, and we shot ourselves in the foot.
  3. @ Marquette was close, then we had Andre Jackson take a 3 with 50 seconds left. Karaban kept us in late.
  4. @ Seton Hall was a coaching and player IQ malpractice.
  5. @ Creighton we shot ourselves in the foot, no one was able to take over and create.
  6. @ PC we cut it to 5 w/ less than 5 to go and we again had Andre jack 3’s, coupled with our guards missing FTs, and defensively getting eaten alive.

Most of these games are close, 1-3 possessions late, until we act like idiots and let the other team blow the game open. It’s our reality at this point - we don’t have a floor general. It’s a trend that will continue.

And? PC has been better than UConn in BE play. I don't see how that has to do with road games and how Creighton losing @PC wasn't surprising.

If it is about end of game decisions by UConn. Different argument, though related. UConn has lost 5 games on the road and two at home. The SHU game was the only one UConn should have won, theoretically as it is nearly impossible to win on the road against X, Creighton, PC and Marquette. It's not worth it or reasonable to complain about losing those four games. Of the two at home one was not end of game decisions as it wasn't close and one was lost in the first half. My point is there are things to complain about with UConn, but this is not one of them.

1) @X was more of a Hurley tech
2) this was lost in the first half
3) @ Marquette
4) @SHU (and the one I think we should have won. It was poor coaching, bad rebounding) This is the one I agree with to an extent.
5) @ Creighton
6) @ PC

All those @s (aside from SHU) are undefeated at home in BE play.

#2 we disagree. I am of the opinion it was lost in the first half, you disagree. Fine, I don't think we will come to an agreement here.

SHU we agree to an extent, I do agree it was poor coaching but it was also the game UConn played without Hurley and Young, so can't put this on his head.

, you whine more (about everything) than any single person in the history of the internet.

Any of you that like his posts are right there with him. There should be t-shirts for sale on here. “Don’t be like Nelson, Scoreboard”

If you aren’t embarrassed he’s one of you, you aren’t breathing.
 
the previous two seasons, we lost 6 games each in league.
we're already at 7, with more yet to play.

this is not hard to learn. it's on the internet.

ummmm, going out on a big limb here, yet no matter how i cypher or beagle it, 7 is more than 6.
period.

We play for National titles, PC plays for Big East regular season titles. Let them have their fun, they don’t have the talent to make it to the Elite 8. UConn most certainly does. Let’s see how the rest of the season plays out before we start freaking out over a mediocre Providence team.

Holy hell you are such a loser. Seriously, I’m embarrassed for you. The worst message board poster in the history of the internet is a UConn fan. Congrats! I guess.

You convinced me, Providence does not depend on friendly home officiating at all, which is why they have so many high quality road and neutral wins. What are Providence's high quality road/neutral wins? #85 Villanova? #62 Seton Hall?
