Exactly. He shot it as an afterthought.
That was totally the issue on that one. Not in any sort of rhythm. Not saying bad to isn't back but I will give him a pass in that one.

There are so many times Olander has gotten the ball at the elbow looking away from the rim and whenever he turns to face the hoop he's like a deer in headlights. Kid should practice turn and shoot from the elbows all day. stroke it big man!

A little offense from an unexpected source would be good.

We perhaps got it with Omar. Depends on whether you consider 10 from him unexpected or the kind of thing he should be providing on occasion.

Man, this is a fun team to watch. Great job of dissecting the zone. Looked like it caught them by surprise but they adjusted well.

As long as the bigs are getting defensive rebounds, I'm happy. They have done a decent job on the boards.

Omar averages 10.

I could live with the miss, if he didn't do a turnstile impression on defense 10 seconds later. Louisville was attacking him early, too, before we went to Wolf (who wasn't any better).

Lets see what Siva coming back in does for them. The way we are hitting shots I don't think it will matter much.

Unofficial rebounds at half L-16 UConn 13. Keeping it close makes a huge dif.

Our leading rebounder hasn't gotten one, and neither has Tyler.

Just tuning in. Up by 6 at half?? Wha happened?

We were up 10 and had a little bit of a bad stretch after Napier got his second. Omar scored at the buzzer to make it 6.

Siva picked up two quick ones and sat the last 16 minutes, but Russ Smith was a problem for us.

We got good looks early and the refs are sucking and Siva got sat for two fouls and Shabazz did later. It seemed we improved our defense within the first half and figured out how to get around theirs. Crowd is loud.

I was less concerned about bad mechanics and more about a lack of confidence. In the ND game he was looking for that opportunity.

Not to be mean, but I wasn't counting on TO to be a beast tonight. Hopeful, but not counting on it.

Horrible call on that charge. Siva blatantly leaned in. Ref had perfect angle and flat out blew it.

Omar cannot miss that bunny. That hurt a helluva lot. Great pass by Tyler.
