Game day thread

People, Kevin Ollie's coaching didn't just magically improve over the last four minutes of the game. Sometimes, it's on the players.

The players finally brought the energy and they found out that they are the much better team. Hopefully they remember tonight throughout the season...

Hey, they could have folded, so props there. I don't think KO is an execution focused, small details oriented coach. So many sloppy plays, no discipline, inconsistent effort.
 
Great Coaching move by Ollie. "Jalen, go score". He should have told hi that at the start. Hey, a win is win.

I haven’t seen anything of a creative offense for as long as I can remember. We have the personnel to have some unique plays, he just hasn’t incorporated anything, apparently.

It's not coaching when he's taking bad shots, or when vital is taking bad shots 5 seconds into the shot clock, our when Larrier for into foul trouble...

Great answer.

Everything is fine.

No, everything is horrible. He needs to go now.

Yale, Wagner, Northeastern, ECU, very nearly Stony Brook, nearly BU, Colgate came within a basket late on Friday...

The game turned because of Jalen Adams. Like I said if Jalen handles the ball 90% of the time as the lead guard with ball in his hands, we will win and look good. No knock on Gilbert, but Adams needs to handle the ball almost all the time for us to be good.

If that gets in to Jalen’s head, that everything goes through him and that it’s always on him to take over and win games, we won’t be caring about him beating Stony Brook for us later this season; will cause several mind-numbing losses with his decision-making

Very true, sometimes it's on the players; however, when coaching college ball the roster is fluid. When you see the same traits, the same offensive ineptitudes, year after year, player after player, most of the blame must fall on the coaching staff.
 
HEAVY SIGH OF RELIEF.

Uconn played basketball (with energy) for 5:30 out of 40 minutes and was +17 in that span and won by 8. I am not sure if that makes me scared or happy...or something else...I don't know how to feel right now. Someone tell me?

Go shove some Arby's in your mouth and chill. The issues with Ollie and his ability to develop and coach a team are real regardless of the outcome here.

Who exactly on this roster was he supposed to develop? He has seven brand new players (to the team), 3 medical redshirts who hardly played last year and Adams and Vital. This was ugly basketball. Take the W and smile, we're going to need every single one.

I went to edit that and deleted it.

You stick to crying about games being over with a lot of time on the clock and we have a deal.

Don’t Welch on me :-)
