Game thread: UConn @ Tulsa

[tentoes4rings]

Make a FT, all you need to know. 2 misses on front end one and one's and missed both on a 2 shot bonus. Pitiful!

By two seniors no less.

 

[Jerry1714]

Adams made like 3-4 big shots in this game.

He barely missed 2 big shots, and nailed 3, perhaps more depending on your definition of "big."

Unfair to pin a "can't hit a big shot" description on him after today especially, case of recency bias BIG TIME.

Purv...no argument.

He played well, my point is with the game on the line he cannot make a shot. Missed a layup at the buzzer, a jumper with 15 secs left, a 3 at the buzzer (not really blaming him for that but the point remains).

He missed two 3s in the final min of OT and a layup at the buzzer and a jumper with 15 secs left in regulation to take the lead.

0-4 with chances to win the game, so with the game on the line he and Purvis cannot hit a shot, been that way for a while. Try to keep up big guy.

Like I want to "keep up big guy" with a dope like you? I'm fine where I am you're the guy who was hammering him when opening at 3-15 this year then we couldn't find your weak a** when he was ripping it up in Maui so you keep up big guy. You're too predictable, thanks for showing up that's you Jer!

No your point was to hammer on Adams do't back off now pal!

 

[Hi-Low]

Just stop. We get it. They are under manned. And who is bashing them? The simple fact is of the seven scholarship players, 6 aren't very good. Regardless of health, this is a game they should have won. Instead, they again found a way to lose. The reality is this team is non-competitive. The reality is I never expected to applaud effort and ignore results. This is simply brutal. As is those on this board who are making excuses.

You don't know if freshman will be good, as far as the seniors I agree not great. Ofcourse we should have won the game but they didn't. By the way we have 8 scholarship players not 7.....although only 5 or 6 look ready to play, if that. It's a freakin lost season...accept that and hopefully the team overall is better in March and we win the AAC tourney however unlikely. If they suck this bad next year then we have a major problem.

Mau you are too dumb to write outside the quote box. Glad you went back and edited to figure it out.

You have 20k posts on a message board. You have proven to be stupid and a loser with a lot of time on his hands. Also, you Maui point proves me right, but again I cannot expect you to understand that.

Ok.

Hahaha god you are so sad. I love it. I love how easy it is to get under your skin. Definition of an internet tough guy, real life nobody. 20k posts. Haha

 

[Tenspro2002]

Yup. The ref was scared to give the home team an L via a foul call. Simple as that.

Still, there's something to be said about even being in that situation to begin with. Even with our injuries we should be able to handle Tulsa.

Why isn't the ref scared to screw over the visiting coach?

KO gets walked all over with one-sided officiating and has for years. It's not getting better.

Shut up Jerry, go crawl back in your hole. No need to crap on our star player who played his az$ off and is the only reason we were even in that game.

 

[Hi-Low]

Ok.

I shouldn't have said "get a life" because obviously I don't have one being on message board arguing about a game.

I remember you: Ap poll is ridiculous

Hahahaha

Huh? Seems to me that I am discussing the obvious. I just find those who constantly make excuses exhausting. Even worse, the moral police.

 

[Mr. French]

I get that ... But you said "can't make a big shot for their life" or something to that effect.

He missed a driving lay up in traffic and 2 pull ups, barely, at the end of OT.

He also nailed 3 straight plus a lay up in the last 3 minutes of the game to get it to OT, in fact you'd say he did those things to win the damn game in regulation, if our other guys do their jobs. You'd never have gotten to those 3 misses.

Point being, aside from that hypothetical, he hit big shots THIS GAME, before any of the big misses you cited, so saying he can't do it to save his life, lumping him with Purvis, is completely wrong.

I mean...as close to factually wrong as possible.

Yeah, the year we WON the national championship after being unranked...shut up you tool

You are a passionate UConn fan. So am I. We disagree. No big deal. Pretty sure, through all this bickering, we all want the same thing.

I am talking about your brilliant UVA post which you raaaaaaaaaan so far away from and went quite for months after. haha

Blame him for missing the three at the end but he wasn't close on the layup because he was blasted on the arm, it would have been the game winner.

Fair. I should have said a shot with the game on the line. As I said he played well, but he had 4 chances to put it away and was 0-4, but yes he did hit some big shots prior. I should have been clearer.

This is true, he has no clue how to work the refs. Calhoun used to get all sort of calls out of fear alone.

In your eyes they are excuses. In other people's eyes they are explanations. When you don't like something you belittle it. I guess that makes you the immoral police.

Oh right, that same team that was ranked top 10 all year and lost immediately in the tournament as soon as they played a mediocre team? Thanks for proving my point bud

Point taken. For that, I promise this is my last post. Enjoy a board of like mines. Or, as you call them, explanations. Adios.

There is no one in this thread that absolutely agrees with anyone else. The mines are open to minds with their own silly opinions.
