Headache game thread

[HuskyHawk]

But we don’t know what the guy he pushed said either... My point is to say he must be a difficult person to hang out with because he loses his cool during basketball games sometimes is asinine

In the other game? Not a word. His mouth didn’t even open. Shorter white guy.

This team needs fire. Vital provides it.

Oh, they need quite a bit more than fire.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Yeah, maybe with UCF. But we don’t know what he said. Earlier this year he shouldered and then shoved some guy for no reason. Got a T and KO left him in. He constantly showboats during games. Even when we are losing.

He may be confident, but he probably shouldn’t be. He needs to learn some professionalism and integrity before someone kicks his ass. I like his competitive spirit. There is a right way to do it.

At least he cares. I'll take that over phantom headaches any day

So violence is acceptable to Ant if someone says something mean...

I can't wait for this nightmare of a season to be over.

I don’t think I can bear another season with KO. Tonight should give some idea of what we can expect to see next year when Terry is gone and possibly even Jalen. God help us. We need to cut our losses and start rebuilding with a new coach and new team. We have become a national embarrassment.

 

[AntG168]

You guys are insane. Either someone cares too much(vital) or they don’t care enough(Ollie) either way you guys will find a reason to snow on them. I’ll go to war with Vital any day. I love the kid, if everyone played with his fight and toughness no one would push us around, we’d be a tough game every night

Losing by 30 to Memphis, I understand losing a road game on a weekday esp with college kids dealing with school, but down 30 to a mediocre team like Memphis? What are we suppose to expect on Saturday vs the best team in the country ? Idk what to say anymore, Jalen Adams deserves better, I can't blame him for leaving to the NBA after this year.

He’s not going to the NBA.

I can’t argue with that. I can say that I’ve watched UConn since the late 70s and Vital may be the guy I like least of any player we’ve had since then. He’s a punk. Calhoun would have straighted that out right away.

NBA?!? Are you crazy? He should stay in school for another 3 years if he had the eligibility. Nowhere ready to play professionally.

 

[Yankees32123]

We’re at 3.5 years of excruciating regression. It won’t get better under KO. Next year will be worse. Let him go.

 

[KodiacKemba]

Ironically I knew we were gonna get the doors blown off as soon as they introduced Penny Hardaway, Larrier could have put on a show but missed his opportunity again...

Violence? Lmaoooooooo. I never knew JC disciples could be so soft. Classic UConn teams bullied opponents , put fear into opponents. Miss me with this pillow fight basketball crap

 

[3rdbass]

Why can none of our 6’8 guys dunk?

That is who KO is recruiting now. Bad basketball players and sub par athletes. LOL!

 

[Fan4ever]

That lack of performance could merit a firing for cause...very embarrassing. BTW, Tubby had a much larger dumpster fire at Memphis w/ Six transfers including his go-to guys.

 

[Huskybass]

There will be some fool's gold against the cupcakes, but thats it. This ship isn't turning around.

If true then Ollie should’ve handled it. Still doesn’t mean he has low character

 

[HuskyHawk]

Ray Allen cared. But he was all class. So was Rip, and Emeka and Kemba. We can do better.

School just started today I think haha, they don't have any homework or anything

Let him goooo!
Let him goooo!
Can't hold it back any more!

You said "We don't know what he said, to the player he shoved" Last I checked shoving someone was violence its just one of many examples of Vital acting like a punk. You're the one defending him. I simply choose to highlight an example you provided. Not sure who is being soft.

 

[AntG168]

My lord now he’s a “punk”?

 

[polycom]

Ray Allen cared. But he was all class. So was Rip, and Emeka and Kemba. We can do better.

Boat cared and he didn't act like Vital.

 

[zls44]

He’s not going to the NBA.

But he is going.

I don't mind a punk if he can hit baskets. LOL! I think Vital's fire and attitude is the least of our worries.

Honestly I blame Ollie, not CV. Lots of stupid cocky HS kids need to understand professionalism and character. Ollie isn’t instilling it. I do love that CV cares and has passion. Just has to express it appropriately.
