Down 4 considering how they got out-rebounded isn't all bad. Of course they won't shoot 52% in the 2nd half either.

 

[Walker11]

I'd like to know what was the plan on that last offensive possession. Why run the clock down when there are 45 seconds left?

If the game is called this way in the second half, UConn has no chance. WV is in UConn's shirt when defending them. So far only 3 fouls against WV. There is no breathing room for UConn's offense.

I'm also now watching the game on mute because Doris Burke and Paesch add nothing. So far, every foul call on WV is questioned by Doris whereas an complaint by Calhoun (on Kevin Jones's travel, for instance) is excused.

Our rebounding is pathetic. We are a bigger team than WV yet they are destroying us. Rebounding is simple fundamentals. Somebody please put a body on your man and get a rebound. If we rebound we win easy.

Again...

It is really hard to watch. The next time Drummond steps in front of some to take a charge will be the first.

^ West Virginia had 6 fouls that half.

 

[BankShot]

Cut down the offensive boards in the second half, we win this game.

This team is so frustrating to watch, no one wants to stick to their man on the wing, no one gets on the ground to get a loose ball. Frustrating but in it

Smh WV getting away with murder on defense and Pushing off on offense.

 

[HeGotGame]

They have 5 fouls against them not 3. I wish we played with the toughness and intensity that WVU does.

 

[Kurt]

Also also NG is responsible for at least 4 WV offensive rebound.

everyone does it for some stupid reason. two bad shots are statistically superior to one good shot. first shot, take it, and hope to get the last position, BUT NO ONE DOES IT!!!!!

Is UConn a lock if they lose this game? I don't think so...depending on how other conference tournaments go.

 

[UConn77]

A stop would be nice.

 

[BugsyCT]

Bazz to the cup - nice

Same for boxes out

 

[UConn77]

Hope the one win against Depaul is enough to get them in, because they do not look like they want this game at all. I think realistically with this team, we are looking at one and done.

 

[UConn77]

Get the loose ball...throw it away. That's the ticket.

 

[UconnU]

Anyone else having problems with ESPN? My tv went black.

 

[TheRogers]

Kevin Jones isn't in right now. Can we get a run going?

 

[Rico444]

This is awful. We play like this in the tournament, we get blown out by whatever 6 or 5 seed we play.

This team can be really hard to watch

This team is so Fn SOFT. It is embarrassing. If I was Huggins Id give the ball to Jones to go at Drummond each time, Drummond wont stop him, Jones is just to physical for him.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Take Drummond out please and put Roscoe in. Drummond is hurting the team. Can't rebound, tries to play like he is a guard, can't defend, can't make foul shots

 

[upstater]

UConn needs to start pushing and going over the top underneath. WV is grabbing, pushing, using elbows. That's how that last rebound went right to Jones. Rutledge first pushed then fouled Oriakhi as he was up in the air going for the rebound.

 

[TheRogers]

Is there a reason why Lamb is on the bench?
