May it be a little less ugly than the last one.

May it be a little less ugly than the last one.

Wishful thinking. I read the fan posts just to remind myself I'm not the only guy so incredibly invested with every play that he jumps up and down or screams depending on what happens. I just prefer keeping my manic behavior private.

I just hope Haavard looks like MSU tonight............ in our teams eyes not the way they play. Don't want to see playing down to the level of talent. Would also like to see some killer instinct, since we are ineligible for the tourneys. Take it out on someone, dammit!

 

[BarkingDog]

I get the sense this team isn't going to blow anyone out of the gym, but at the same time I think they will work to keep themselves in every game.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Did Wolf start? I just turned it on on ESPN 360

 

[HuskyHawk]

I think this is our best lineup (Wolf, Giffey, DD, Boat and Bazz).

 

[housekeys]

Wow, great hands by Wolf to be able finish some of these plays.

 

[aceboon]

I love where DeAndre is operating from, everything is 15ft and in, not hanging out by the 3pt line. This is the approach he needs to have every game.

 

[Kitaman]

where are the fans?

 

[housekeys]

Time to check UConn's ability to control a game and prevent a comeback and extend the lead.

Can we still use the "home for Thanksgiving" excuse?

I think this is our best lineup (Wolf, Giffey, DD, Boat and Bazz).

Ollie has to keep playing Calhoun. The team badly needs another scoring option. Calhoun needs to grow up in a hurry. It's unfair, he's a freshman, but he's a big key to the season.

 

[Oxford Bob]

How many forced passes can one team make?

 

[housekeys]

15-10, we lost our edge

 

[sledog]

Looks like the 'run' is over. TO is really a butterfinga

 

[hasheemthedream]

Please anybody but Olander, he is awful out there.....PULL HIM ALREADY OLLIE

 

[carlos]

Olander is the new Oriakhi... Kidding but not really. He needs to step it up though.

 

[BarkingDog]

about time someone made a shot

 

[uconNYC]

KO is way to calm sometimes. Needs to light a fire under these guys' ass

 

[Gurleyman]

About time we got off a shot. We're shooting 70 percent right now.

 

[ctchamps]

RJ, TO and OC think they are Ivy league!

 

[UConn Hoops1]

Olander is the new Oriakhi... Kidding but not really. He needs to step it up though.

Olander's confidence must be completely in the toilet. He is hesitant,indecisive and awkward. It's hard to believe that a guy his size against a team that has no size isn't licking his chops. Kevin has a huge chore to pull him out of the muck. And Omar is just plain slopy with the ball tonight.

GO HUSKIES!!! BEAT THE CRIMSON!!!

 

[Gurleyman]

Like how Bazz is playing right now. Managing possessions well when the ball is in his hands.

 

[hasheemthedream]

Is UCONN every going to go shy away from the 8,7,6,5,4,3,2 offense??? It seems to be year after year that I watch Marcus Williams, Dyson, Kemba, and now Shabazz hold the ball forever then huck up a last minute shot. How hard is it to run something? Duke and Indiana make it look so easy to get open shots.

 

[housekeys]

Beyond our two guards, we need a few more weapons on offense. Wolf and DD are showing glimpses. Agree, we need OC
