Bazz for three then no box out opposite the shot on D and they get an and one
 
hard to believe we're even in the game without a single offensive board to their 10.

Not trying to b negative... But it's soooo frustrating. Blocking out is about positioning. U don't need to b a superstar to be able to block out, yet out bigs never seem to be in position. It's unbelievable we're in this.
 
Good drive by Bazz...at least we getting their guards in foul trouble

They have RJ playing down low in the zone. I guess its new territory for him.
 
The guys are playing hard and not ball hogging. Worked their way back when it looked like it was slipping away. They can win this.

Problem is that we want to run so we don't have to play in the halfcourt, but our guards have to rebound too. They can't leak out. So we can't run.

He's on pace for four rebounds and two outlet passes.

Don't get me wrong, I like TO - in a way I feel for him. He's being asked to do more than he's capable of. He can be effective as the second big sneaking in for rebounds, but he can't be the only one battling down there. He's just not good enough. It'd be like asking RJ or Neils to play point guard.
 
Not a bad 1/2. The kids are playin hard and no hangin heads after easy inside buckets. Looks like we will be playing some zone to save what bigs we have and hopefully steal this one at the end.

Don't think it's a matter of the guards not rebounding - Shabazz is tied with Giffey for the team high with four.

Marquette is begging UConn to win this game. UConn needs to run, and hit their open threes. We know rebounding is going to be a struggle for this team, but they can't get completely b*tch slapped down low.
 
At some point this year our team might get rebounded by a single player. But we can still win that game if we create turnovers, get loose balls, and knock down treys

I agree. On the road against a veteran team and still gaming. A gritty team.

I think people are positive the front court is a negative.

What ever happened to rooting for your guys? I can't stand guys not trying or playing selfishly. Otherwise, if your guy is giving it his best shot, that's all you can ask.

I think the point is that the guards can't start fast breaks if they have to help out the front line all the time.

I'm rooting for them. I think they are playing their hearts out. I was just being funny.

After this half I might have to rethink saying your D2 frontcourt comment was hyperbole. If they can put up a better fight on the defensive glass they can easily win this, but that first half didn't inspire much confidence that it will get better.
 
What keeps me sane is realizing that we lost four bigmen before the season. On the other hand if we want to be an annual Top 15 team, we can't keep recruiting bigmen that are 2-3 year projects. I'd argue that when recruited TO, EW, PN and LT were all considered projects.

Transition D and rebounding were huge issues in the first half, if we can improve that we pull this one out.
 
Bad start!
Looked like a clean strip by Bazz but picked up the foul
