Olander sucks, can throw it in the ocean

UConn had a good lead until that crazy sequence with Tyler getting fouled on the drive and the no over the back call on Oriakhi's rebound, and then AO's 4th foul.

Big turning point.

making it interesting at the end

Paesch looking for a foul on Drummond

Still, this should absolutely be a tournament team and a scary one at that.

Scary in that we look good on paper and can play top teams close? Sure. We've played tight with Syracuse for about 100 of 120 minutes this season.

But scary in that we can actually pull the upset? Our best win this year is Florida State. I just don't see the evidence.

 

[UConn77]

Oh well. And 8 or 9 seed is about what we deserve so you can't be too upset.

 

[SJ]

Sick of listening to Doris.

 

[SubbaBub]

We'll be a 10. Hopefully avoid Creighton and draw OSU or Missouri in round 3.

this loss in on Calhoun for keeping Napier in the game for making crucial mistakes down the stretch and not putting Giffey in the game as a stabilizer until the last minute making it too late

 

[UConn77]

That wasn't 5 seconds?

 

[upstater]

Buzzer went off before the jam

Thought the ball went off the Cuse player, not Napier

I'm upset (of course) but won't rant because overall it was a good tourney and lost to an awesome team. But why all year have their been long periods of time were we run NO offense? I don't get it. They just sit around, this has to be coaching. I've never seen an offense that doesn't run any offense at all at any level. Someone please explain? Because that has bothered me all year.

 

[BugsyCT]

ehh, bring on the big tourney.

Don't agree. Where was AO down the stretch?

It's the point guard. For all the good things he does, he thinks he's better than he is. 5-17 and still took twice as many shots as Lamb.

this team is only good for like 25 minutes, we win 2 games in the tounrney, tops

 

[-Huskiediehard-]

Also one more thing I'm not sure where lamb's head is at times? He seems like he doesn't care and gets down. This is a red flag that him and calhoun have to fix for the big dance.

 

[huskymagic]

i told u guys already the momentum changed when Napier and Boat were on a breakaway and Napier instead of passing to a wide open Boatright for a dunk he forces it and misses and that just deflated the whole UCONN team. That would have been a dagger and Napier keeps finding ways to try to be the hero instead of being a winner. Lamb is once again happy playing robin instead of batman, and doesnt even demand the ball last 7 minutes.

this doesn't explain running no offense does it? Calhoun will let him run isolation almost the whole game? I doubt it. NO ONE even moves. Been doing it all year if you watch other teams they are running an actual offense constantly moving and passing and cutting we don't do that.

They moved well today but they looked like they were dead tired.

 

[UconnDon]

Alex D. is unbelievable bad with rebounds. I've watched him assiduously in the past 2 games, and he stands and watches the shot go up, and watches the rebound go back over his head, and still stands, as though he's memorized by the rebound. Man, not so sure what the pros will make of that type of talent!

 

[HuskyHawk]

Why was this the case? Oh right perimeter defense is optional.

But they still needed to hit them. Given several open looks like that, I don't expect a conversion rate of 100%, and we'd be happy if our guys hit a third of them. They knocked them all down.

 

[Jaker]

really hate losing to Cuse
