The season is over
Nice snarky remark
 
We all know who is leaving. You know who is leaving. You don’t need to see it in print.

Been done for a long time. Only decision that is really looming is what Alex decides to do.

(Which, quite frankly, was a little bit of the issue this year. Hard to have ten toes in when several are already tip toeing to another school.)

I think the real question is how many but we will find out in due time. Staff knows what needs to be done.

I had to do a 20 minute meditation and then 15 minute stress relief yoga to get over the pit in my stomach feeling after this loss. Talking to this crew helps. Even if we're already arguing 3 hrs after the game

I'm just glad I didn't drive 6 hours up to Raleigh from Atlanta on little sleep and pay crazy price to see them lose. I keep those special trips for the final four as they normally win that. I have to been a few other non-final four games like '90s dream team in Hartford but also went went when Rod Sellers slammed Laetner's head into he floor in Detroit and then St. John's lost the next game to Duke too. Yuck. I went with college friends. I also went to Alabama to see El Amin lose on one ankle to a bad Tennessee team. I will stick with seeing Final four games were they have been 10-1 and seen 5 Trophy ceremonies in person.

I really don’t get the Liam Hate
He had 22 points plus three assists.
So he was responsible for 41% of our points . Yet is being badmouthed by alleged fans .
Karaban and Ball also sucked from the outside , the trio was a combined 6 for 27
about 22% .
He is a Freshman who because of our guard woes had the ball in his hands as much as Diarra .
At least on Liam shots you could say he ended up with the ball in his hands with little time on the clock and had to throw up Some prayers .
If you bet UConn
Then Liam singlehanded won you the money .He managed it to get it back to a one possession game when it was headed for a 10 point loss.
Didn’t anyone remember how bad we were when he was out , Four of our six losses some against crap teams were without him
Even the St John’s game at home was his first game in 6 weeks. Without his injury we’re not playing a tournament favorite 1 seed in the second round
I can’t remember a freshman that integral to our success We put a lot on that kids back and he doesn’t deserve the hostility.

that was an extremely winnable game. don’t understand all these moral victory comments. this is UConn, not a mid-major that is happy to be there.

Yes! Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing! This isn’t 6th grade intramural for Pete’s sake. This was a game we led for about 37 minutes and lost because of a few dumb plays. Was it a tough loss? Of course. But we had opportunity after opportunity to get a bigger lead and we missed shots, turned the ball over, let rebounds go off our hands. We played good enough to lose.

I hate this middle school crap. We’re proud of our team we are we are Whether we’ve orcwhether we lose. We went there to win. We didn’t. It sucks.

They know what they gotta do.

Personally, outside of Alex, Solo and Tarris, I don’t really care who leaves. (I assume Liam is NBA-bound, but would love to see him back.) It’s nothing we cannot get in spades in the portal.
 
Just rewatched the post game presser and I have to give Dan Hurley credit. He gave Florida credit where it was due, but he knows where we came up short and he took the blame. He has learned and I sure he will do a great job in the off season. Props to Dan for being a great human.
 
That was a roller coaster of emotions for me. I had so much respect for Florida coming in. I thought we would lose by 20.

But I really wanted that win when I saw we could play with those guys. Cant believe we even had a chance the way we shot from down town. The guys played so hard.

Was kind of disappointed with Mcneelys performance. Not passing to Johnson and then turning it over was tough. Not sure why he gets more sets than ball, who also didn’t shoot well today.

At the end of the day, they had Clayton and we didn’t. That was the difference

They were right there to stretch the lead and hopefully put it out of reach, but couldn't.

Seemed to be countless times they had the ball with chances to stretch the lead and let UF close the gap keeping them in striking range.

They played the best D we've seen all season long and made some outstanding plays, but simply missed so many open and makeable looks. Even with that, they gave up some critical rebounds on the defensive end, especially off of missed FTs, that were costly late.

That was a winnable game. Great effort. Proud of our team, but disappointed in the outcome.

In an alternate timeline where we win the natty Ball launches and swishes a 3 instead of a turnover. Owell

I just wanna say...Tarris has been great. I'm really excited to see his leap next year. Imagine the chemistry he and Solo can get this summer.
 
Something that I think is worth noting. In the last 3-4 minutes, Florida ran their screen/roll from a 45 angle instead of from the top of the key. So when we came out to crazy hedge, they slipped for, I think, two dunks and a couple of drawn fouls. Because of that spot on the floor, we couldn’t rotate in time. When we tried to not be as aggressive, Clayton was able to sidestep and get shots off. Good wrinkle by Golden.

Another one of my aforementioned drones.

I understand that but if he could of hit some of his layups early on we wouldn't of been in the position we were at. I think we were up 6 at one time and instead of pulling out the ball he went 1 on 3 and missed a layup. I know he is Freshmen but his game didn't progress and when comparing to Steph he was a letdown for me. Good kid but his game wasn't as good as I thought and he really didn't shoot well especiallly at the end of the year when we needed it. He was billed a a great shooter and he didn't live up the expectations. 38% shooting overall and 32% from 3 aren't great numbers for a shooter.
