big shot boat. love that play call

 

[BugsyCT]

Big 3 ball by Boat

 

[hooskies]

Boat should've shot that first look.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

well they choked, plain and simple.

 

[BugsyCT]

Crap.

 

[BoatShow]

Had sososososo many chances

 

[caw]

Can't complain too much without Daniels on the road.

 

[BugsyCT]

They're playing a top 10 team in a tough environment. If you want to call that choking, knock yourself out.

 

[jibsey]

A good effort without one of our biggest players. At full strength we can beat them.

 

[hooskies]

you don't know the definition of a choke

 

[minidarren]

They choked. Up 10, kept letting them back in.

 

[aceboon]

it is just me or was Boatright wide open and didn't pull the trigger there before he got trapped and had to hand it off to Giffey?

 

[kobe]

That call on Brimah was one of the worst calls I've seen. Even as a UC fan I was kind of satisfied that UC missed both FT's.

Good game, and see you guys at full strength in a few weeks.

Ball has to be in Bazz's hand at the end it's that simple, was to much time left to force a 3

 

[WhereistheDove?]

No I do and I just saw one. Got complacent and the offense became lazy.

lol they were up 10 on the road with 2 mins left in the 1st half. there is an ebb and flow to every basketball game.

 

[Dooley]

Fun game to watch in a good atmosphere. Both teams went after it and the better team (at full strength) won. I wish the return game was at Gampel to return the atmosphere, but what are you going to do?

 

[jibsey]

Cincy played great defense down the stretch and Bazz forced a lot of bad shots. The final rebound numbers?

 

[uconndoit]

The thing that sucks about being in Asia is I have all day to be pissed off about this.

Ya, no . There was no ebb in the second half. All flow. Team got complacent and stepped on their d I c k s. I'm not saying I'm upset. They were without DD and Bazz didn't really knock it out of the park with his 3 air balls. They had a good lead and let the other team back in. They choked.

UConn @ Miami 2003 was a choke. This was a loss.

We had no inside scoring game for our big men because it doesn't exist and they were smothering Bazz on the 3, he missed 10, but that's not choking.

Normally I agree but Shabazz was terrible tonight and bricked like 7 out of his last 8. Boat was open, he just didn't take it.

If you have to search back to 2003 for a UConn choke, then I think maybe you're the one who doesn't know what a choke is. They got complacent, let them come back, didn't run their offense, and settled for tons of terrible shots... they choked, sorry to upset you.

I hear that, I woulda have preferred a Bazz drive get a 2 and keep extending the game, there was 18 secs at the start of the possesion plenty of time to get a quick 2 and foul.
