Not sure why we played stall ball from under 4 min.

 

[EricLA]

That was just pathetic. Up by 4, with the ball, with just over a minute left, and that's how the coach runs the last minute of the game. Just so sad. Oh well.

 

[UconnU]

Adams needs to be more assertive.

 

[AdamaNation]

What a joke. Purvis sulking. This isn't a team. Selfish individuals.

Selfish?? How?

 

[huskyfan224]

How do you turn it over when you're up 4 with a minute to go at the top of the key? How do you do that as a major D1 basketball player? And Rodney is the definition of a guy who has "the million dollar move with a ten cent finish"

 

[Jerry1714]

It would be great if the coaches can teach Purvis how to make a layup. Help us out a lot

 

[Excalibur]

They call a foul on Miller on the last play then he doesn't get a call when he gets hacked? Good stuff refs.

If Ollie doesn't call the refs out on that in the post game press conference he's a

 

[NotADimeBack]

They can barely average over 50 a game lol.
Never seen such a dysfunctional team
And that includes 09-10 and 11-12

 

[ASweet3781]

This team and this coaching staff should be ashamed of themselves for this season.

Garbage league and they can't handle it.

 

[huskyfan224]

Really tired of watching him miss bunnies

 

[BugsyCT]

Had a 4 point lead & the ball last minute and gave up a lazy turnover.

Backbreaking loss. Just like Temple.

 

[jibsey]

Gibbs shot was not a good one but it was heroic for Shonn to get the rebound and put it back up, no call there was contact. We lost a rock fight, we were bullied inside and we have no answer for that.

 

[krinklecut]

Why do you have Nolan in on the last defensive play crowding up the backcourt? He contributed nothing all game but fouls, what a horrible coaching decision. I realize he didn't commit the foul but what kind of coaching is that? Down 2 go small

 

[QuentinS23]

Nightmares of the NIT and no tournament appearance are not too farfetched when we make 7 consecutive stops and score on one of them. It's embarrassing that we don't come out of games like that with a W, or more importantly, make our free throws. Five for eight still is not proficient for a team like UConn.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Anyone who comes on here and firstly blames the refs is severely out of touch. This team lacks continuity, organization and leadership. Too relaxed when we are winning, too much sulking and frustration when we are losing. Blowing a 4 point lead with a minute left is inexcusable. Late turnovers, terrible shots, letting the shot clock run down to 5 sec. every possession is inexcusable. Same story almost every game with this team.

He should call out his team before he calls out the refs.

 

[upstater]

That's my reaction, right there. As bad as they played the last 6 minutes, the last 12 seconds were inexcusable from the zebras.

 

[mauconnfan]

We NEVER get good shots, or even shots, off of TO's. He needs to get JC in at practice and learn some stuff because we are horrid out of the TO's.

 

[David 76]

Hamilton killed us. Stupid turn-overs. Lousy shooting.
His rebounds and assists may not be enough for the one-man wasted possessions he brings

Or get a better x-s and o-s guy on his staff

 

[mauconnfan]

I have to say there was no foul on the last play on Miller so I can't whine about that. The big balls call was the "and 1" on the Clark lay in especially after the prior possession Purvis was hammered going to the hole. No foul anyway bad job there.

But the game wasn't lost there anyway it was lost on the other end of the court. The offense went stagnant.

He's lost I can't wait for AB to come back because he will start averaging 20 a game.

The kid is mentally gone you can see it. He doesn't pump fake in the interior anymore he just shoots the ball on the run, falling whatever. I'm nervous it may not return in time for a run.

No the refs were pretty good all game, thought a few calls in te first half we should've gotten, thought Cincy deserved some in the second down low. But if they are gonna that foul on us at the end you can't not call the one on Miller. Pretty much exactly the same except Miller got hit by more than 1 player. Gotta be consistent down the stretch

This was the game in a nutshell. The refs were brutal down the stretch. No clue how you call that foul on the home team in a 2 point game with 15 seconds left then swallow it on the other end.

 

[David 76]

Our offense was clicking for a while. I don't get it. It is like they forget how to play. KO rarely calls a TO when this is happening. Hamilton doesn't get pulled for a breather when he creates turnover after turnover. I just don't get it.
