Florida post game thread

[ddent68]

Nothing against the Gators, but anyone who thinks that team wouldn’t get blown out by last year’s Huskies is delusional. They’d just be another 13+ point victim.

I agree but that says more about last years team than it does about the Gators

I was hoping for win for ‘selfish ‘ personal reasons. I have a life threatening disease with no cure so I may be around next year at least I have a chance at the football UConn season. I apologize if It appears that I am looking for sympathy. I am not just want to say good buy to you Yarders in case I am correct. Been a fan of both UConn basketball and football since the early 1960.’s. Good luck UConn and good luck Yatders.

Much love @F101Voodoo , keep fighting my friend. Thoughts and prayers to you.

Edit: The same goes for you @Scrappy3

On another note…Dave Portnoy probably hates us right now because who knows how much $$ he lost taking FL to beat the spread

Clearly not very bright. He was deep on the UConn train last year, so if he were paying attention he'd know that UConn getting 10 pts against anyone is a good bet. Alas, he was never that smart in the first place

 

[Hoopcrazee]

It hurts but not to the level of 94, sure we lost it but Florida did take it from us give them credit.

That was CLOSE to the worst... Game vs George Mason was the worst IMHO

 

[Woodson]

Gutted for the boys, just a couple plays away, even with the shooting or lack thereof

According to my doctors this might be my last husky game-/ what a ride. Thank you to Jim Calhoun Kevin Ollie dan Hurley and especially all the great players. Thanks for managing the board here! Best of luck

your doctors. Fishy said I was dead 20 years ago and my doctor said 10 years ago I wouldn't last two without a kidney transplant.

my grandmother was born in 1886. Her doctors (and her own son, chief of medicine) told her when she was 63 that she had six months to live. At her 85th birthday party the people in her nursing home took the cake away and said Winnie you're diabetic you can't eat that. In a very thick Irish brogue she said you, you told me I was gonna die 22 years ago, give me my damn cake. She died in 1979.

Anyone still complaining after that effort today is not living in reality. Can't help but feel anything but pride with how they went out. Sure it sucks to lose, but this weekend was a far cry from where this team was a few months ago

Sorry....this game should have been won.....excuses are excuses...

 

[UCfor3]

He’s going to be elite next year. He did a great job of distributing the Ball today too.

His passing really improved. Dropped a couple beautiful dimes today.

Padded his stats after the game was over.

Biggest disappointment of a highly rated recruit since Alterique Gilbert

Ding ding ding ding, we got our first idiot comment on this thread.

Think he needs a good run at running point; similar to Kam Jones

Yes brother, join the movement! #SoloToPG

 

[oshkosh]

We turned them over a lot and couldn’t capitalize. 4 pts off 12 TO.

 

[aceboon]

You did say we were up or winning and then McNeeley happened? I really get the comment and it might not been your intention but it read like it. I know you understand the game too well to pin it on one player, as I have said I don’t think he was 100% over the last ten games. He tweaked that ankle somewhere along the line.

Where did I say that? Please don't start your nonsense, I'm not doing this with you today.

Injury did him in

It’s funny what being in a bigger role and being given the rope to make plays can do.

Awful if true. The boneyard loves you scrappy!

 

[giddyup]

Acquitted themselves with a heart of a champion. Hate losing, but you have to proud of the fight.

 

[Hi-Low]

Don't watch the Post Game Presser unless you're ready to ball like a baby. Love these guys & this coach! Thank you!

Ya I try to never bring that game up, this is not close to the worse loss for me, sure it sucks though.

 

[NHUConnfan]

A freakish body? That’s what gets you fired as a GM

I think y'all forget how many other players who "disappointed" in college but had the physical assets turned into absolute beasts in the NBA.

My point is that Liam has an NBA build, he clearly has shooting talent (don't deny that...we all saw it this year), and the biggest areas he can grow is bettering his basketball IQ. The best shot he has at doing that is against NBA talent with NBA coaches.

Nothing he's done has changed his overall projection of what he could be in the NBA. And anyone who thinks otherwise is having a serious helping of copium.

Stop with this stat padding nonsense. It's called competing and trying to win the game. He got it to a one possession game where we could've tied it by forcing a turnover or some misses at the line.

We all know he struggled badly at the end of the season but the kid always competed.

 

[DRBackup]

Hurley’s gameplan gave us a real good shot to win.

Talent won that game. We didn’t have it.

I'm tired of this terrible take. They lost by TWO. Sure, Clayton was clutch for them. UConn did not have a guy like that. Other than that, UConn had plenty of talent to win this game.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Whats the difference between now and tomorrow?

Relax about what. All I said is he needs to stay? His numbers were horrible down the stretch. How can you watch him if you’re an NBA scout and this he’s an NBA player?

Fantastic game. Lots of fight. Don’t think many people gave them a chance.

Tomorrow there will tons of news about the portal now that we are not in the tournament and the portal opens. Any player that saw us almost beat the team that everyone thought was going to roll to the title because of…well just because….we are UConn and all that means, will think no matter what this coach is going to get me where I want to go.

And the comment about McNeeley was not completely about you lots of of us are making some negative comments. The kid’s a gamer not saying his is staying or leaving but I take him on my team everytime. We put him in this situation with the way some of the other players did not step up this year. He led us to beating Creighton on their home floor something we have NEVER done.

Truth be told if any of the eight or nine players who got in the game for UConn made one more three-point shot we win by one. Insert your own aunts uncles and balls comments it is what it is. Not sure why the need to single people out.

Hang in there. Keep fighting.
