We haven't traditionally been a good shooting team, but my God, this is embarrassing.
 
UNH is a terrible, terrible basketball team. If they were playing a top ten team they'd be down 35-40 points right now.

I haven't been watching the gam, but Kentucky is down 9 to ND. Is that because ND is flopping a lot? That seems to be the one thing that Calipari can't seem to coach around, apparently....

Nope it's because ND has experienced and disciplined players and a great home court. I give Brey credit for what he's done there, they always play hard and take good shots
 
This game is a yawner...but I refuse to watch the ACC vs B1G play for the BE title.
 
Have you seen the cheerleaders?? This year's crop outpaces the the team. Man, some of them could stop a charging bull with one look! Gone to hell ever since that assinine decision to stop the gymnastics.

This group of cheerleaders looks great. I say we are play at the RAC!

Truth be told, THAT is the reason we haven't been scooped up by another conference, yet....

If we had 55% cuter cheerleaders and we would be in the Big 10 by now.
 
At this point 1 for 11 from 3 and they have made about 5?
 
Out of that last time out they ran the best offensive set i have seen all game...
 
If Kevin Ollie is not head coach at UConn next year it will not be Warde Manuel's fault (and this coming from someone who thinks Manuel should be gone for what went down last week).

Jim Calhoun has left Kevin Ollie with arguably on paper the worst UConn team since the mid's 80's. Even 2007 had more talent than this bunch. Calhoun should have bit the bullet and coached this year. There is no way to properly judge Ollie with this bunch.
 
Unfortunately we're watching the new reality of UConn basketball. Without quality big men, every game will be a struggle.

Wow can't put NH away. Well there is one good thing we have going. Everyone should be back next year because no one on this team is ready for the next level. Not NBA or over seas.
 
I guess your saying that Calhoun caused the defections because he certainly recruited AO and Roscoe and frankly Lamb could have stayed were it not for the dough.
 
Still with RB, SN and OC - we should be much better than this. Offensively our sets are terrible - it's been that way for several years though.

Either JC should have stayed and faced the music...or he should have left after Kemba gave him his 3rd NC and let Ollie have a crack at doing something with a group that had some talent. Based on what I'm watching tonight, March 9th can't come fast enough for this group. We never shot well. Now we add no defense, less rebounding.

It's just the "this year reality". They'll get some bigs in the spring once Ollie is signed that will compliment / start over the ones we have now. Facey is on board already and he looks like he'll do some big things by the time he's graduated or moved on (in good standing of course). Remember, Ollie is a ridic recruiter, kids love him. He just needs the long term deal

I don't think so. Our big men are terrible, truly terrible. Napier had a good team around him last year and couldn't lead it. That says something about him.

3s not going down late like Stony Brook. Maybe shooters should move closer to the basket.

The fact is this was going to be a really rough year regardless of who was coach. It could cost Ollie the job.

Played with broken foot all season that required surgery off season. That says a lot about him. Not sure a complaining anonymous poster can show me more.
 
I really like the offense when Wolf gets the ball in the high post. Everyone seems to move and we get good separation.

I do believe Kev will be a good coach and is a good recruiter. That said there is no one we are going go get in the spring that is going to be a game changer next year. Next year you will see the same guys who will be better and a deeper bench.
