Anything but a three from GT and it was a 2 possesion game. How could Napier alow it!

i don't think we had a field goal attempt after being up 77-71 until that heave at the end.
 
Boatright. Unreal Giffey open down low. Nothing. DD open down low nothing. Come on man!
 
I am beginning to think it may not be so bad if Boat leaves after this year. Unfortunately, there may be no takers at the next level.

WOW! blew it at the end. otto porter is the truth. kid is a stud on the court. proud of our guys yet again.

Sigh. Bazz had no need to help there that far off. And then Omar tries to dribble through traffic again. Same mistakes over and over.

I mean over and over. It's so frustrating.
 
Well.....I'm giving the team a standing O, anyway.

They deserve it.

That was one hell of a game.

Been thinking that for a while. While I would hate to see Napier leave....don't think it would be bad, at all, if Boatshow takes a hike

77-71 1:28 left, never thought in a million years UConn would blow that. Even down 1 with 9.5 seconds, they got that. But they didn't.

bazz had his bonehead moments his first two years so did kemba. hes just a soph who missed a lot of time as a frosh.
 
coulda woulda shoulda, pissed, but I'll get over it, we could be tied for first, it's a damn shame, but they played well despite the refs.

Was actually 78-71... Porter hits a 3, we have a shot clock violation, Smith-Rivera hits a 3, Bazz turns it over, Porter layup, Boat goes 1 on 3 to end the game... Terrible offensive possessions down the stretch.

Boat is a circus - has the mental strength of a flea. But I'm most mad at Bazz. That help defense to leave the guy open for a 3 is breathtakingly stupid. With leadership comes responsibility.

Boatright has to work on his handle.

I think he needs to work on his mental attitude toward the game. He is in and out of it mentally. I realize he is a young man and we all were light minded at that age, but that is something he needs to work on. Certainly don't blame him for the loss, but he can do better. I think he will. Good game, nonetheless. Move on.
 
I'm slowly coming off the ledge and will start appreciating this effort a little more. Won't be surprised if Bazz is out next game after gutting that one out on an ankle that will probably balloon up now. He could barely get back after his last turnover. DD was gassed but made enough big plays to win two games (take that shot in the corner, DD - only 4 seconds on the clock and you just hit one from there). Omar with a big, big shot. A lot of good takeaways.

Right now my biggest image of this game, though, is Boat getting out of Porter's way on the winning basket. He could have played D, but he stepped aside and tried to reach in. Bad D in the first five minutes. In the 50th minute? Ugh. Hope he was fooled by a pass fake or something. I'm not in the mood to watch a replay yet.

Boatright was abysmal. 5 for 15, 4 turnovers, ole' defense. Boatshow needs to be humbled a bit.

as i have said, boat is the worst defender in memory but his closed minded offensive play in the final moments just proves he is an always me first player. when they look at film and see he could have passed off for the win twice i am thinking ollie will be in his face
