Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2060004, member: 2844"] Feel free to find other things to do - not sure any real UConn fan that I know would even think that As far as them being up for the SMU game - this team could have mailed it in when they were down to 6 players but the heart kept beating and they persevered as best they could. They were bound to have a bad game/half game but can't afford it vs. Houston/Cinci/SMU Yes they had a collapse in the second half - why? Not 100% sure but a few factors played into it: 1. Missing 6 chippies under the basket in the first few minutes of the 2nd half led to unanswered points at the other end 2. ABs failure to take charge of under the basket when Kelis Fisher got his 4th foul, No rebounds in traffic and no offense from the 7' center - it was a less than bad performance and somewhat mind boggling - SE should have played more 3. Overall foul trouble - RP, Kelis Fisher, playing scared to get 4 and 5 caused an easing in defensive intensity and allowed Houston to penetrate 4. JA was not himself yesterday and for that matter neither was CV - can't afford to have more than 1 player to be bad and last night we had at least 3 with bad games 5. Houston is best AAC 3 pt shooting team and had a shooting slump in the 1st half - it woke up 6. Fouls - officiating was bad - I'm not going to say anymore on that [/QUOTE]
