Game thread

[nomar]

Two things don't surprise me tonight - that UNH doesn't give two whits about our problems and still wants to beat us - and that this is the worst game thread we've ever had.

Haha. Yeah, can't really be shocked by either of those.

The fact that the game is the less depressing topic says a lot about how we're feeling this week.

Score?

Has Nolan ever made a layup this season? I think he is 0 for.

Nolan reminds me of Antric Klaiber his freshmen year. Didn't AK start off like 0 for 20 or something ridiculous that year?

 

[nomar]

25-18 good guys @ the half.

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....

 

[sledog]

This is a battle for not the least shooting %.

That and Kemba Walker

 

[Tenspro2002]

We haven't traditionally been a good shooting team, but my God, this is embarrassing.

 

[sledog]

Any of those special section tix left for next week at MSG?

 

[champs99and04]

UNH is a terrible, terrible basketball team. If they were playing a top ten team they'd be down 35-40 points right now.

Aren't we used to this though? Traditionally UConn plays to the level of its opponent.

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

 

[UConn76]

This game is a yawner...but I refuse to watch the ACC vs B1G play for the BE title.

We have my entire life. Yet it continues to surprise me every time it happens

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!

He has made at least one or two.

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.

I'm honestly not sure UNH is much better than your top tier D-2 program right now.

 

[jibsey]

At this point 1 for 11 from 3 and they have made about 5?

 

[bfair]

Out of that last time out they ran the best offensive set i have seen all game...

 

[ASweet3781]

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.

 

[UConn76]

Unfortunately we're watching the new reality of UConn basketball. Without quality big men, every game will be a struggle.

 

[uchusky32]

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.

 

[jibsey]

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.
