Hey Dan….. (merged threads)

[HuskyFich]

It wasn't a four point swing. That would imply what he did negated a bucket of ours. He did give them two full points, though, at a crucial time, in addition to the two they were likely to get.

It was a terrible T. Would a better set of refs have called it? I'm not convinced. But he has to be prepared to deal with the officials in front of him.

A better set of refs would have monitored the foul discrepancy.

I’m not saying they weren’t fouling much. But the calls against were ticky tacky if you’re going to argue X wasn’t doing the same thing.

He’s done this countless times. In an intense game he gifted them points. Just like Andre needs to learn, so does Dan. The moments seem too big for him a lot. Its not a good look

OMG, I'm outta here

This place is too damn bizarre

ENJOY THE RIDE PEOPLE, HAPPY NEW YEAR

AND THANK YOU DAN HURLEY AND EVERY MAN ON OUR ROSTER

You can't get a T that late in a close game. And he was outcoached. Missed Sampson in this game.

Almost impossible to win on the road outscored by 19 on the line, and I'm not even talking attempts. I'll leave it at that.

I’ve seen WWE events with better reffing. I’m glad he took the technical. The refs needed to be told what an historically horrific game they called.

X always get whistle at home. That’s not why we lost

 

[UCfor3]

Y’all still believe in Hurley ??

#2 and undefeated. Lose one game and this?? SMH...

 

[Mike Honcho]

They were getting a bad whistle all day today, but the time for a T would’ve been much earlier in the second half.

There’s no defending that one.

I agree with this. If there is such thing as a "strategic T", that message gets sent much earlier in the game so that the officials have time to course correct. But there's nothing strategic about this... this is just a case of Danny not being able to control his emotions.

 

[KodiacKemba]

Brutal time for a technical, you could see it coming for about 10 minutes

Yeah u get the tech early not down 4 wit 2 mins left in the game … just awful but again that’s Hurley for ya

 

[jibsey]

4-9. 23-28 FT's

 

[AdamaNation]

Team fell in love with the 3. Not getting to the line, too much Jackson shooting. Not enough inside game.

This.. period. Couldn’t have picked a better team to get our first L to though. Gif away loss vs a ranked a rising team. And we played rough. League play has been challenging thus far. Now the focus of getting to #1 before years end can go away with the inert pressure of being undefeated. We will decimate them at home. Free throws. Turnovers. And cold hands from outside. X needed every bit of those 20 plus ft attempts we didn’t get.

Hurley announced to the world that his feelings are more important than UConn winning.

 

[husky429]

Y’all still believe in Hurley ??

Yes.

 

[tzznandrew]

Also would have liked to see more Clingan - we were getting abused by their size all game. Press conference should be telling

We outrebounded them by 7 and we equaled them in blocks. What are you talking about?

Eh gotta take the ball into the teeth of the D more to draw fouls. Fell in love with the three

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

And Jackson didn’t either. Kid thinks he’s a 3 point shooter now.
Also dislike his defense. He consistently gets beat going to the rim, relying on the fact, he can usually outjump a player and block them from behind. That is not good defense.

Jackson was 4-9 from 3 before the late shots. If they leave him open he can and should shoot. Get used to it.

Andre Jackson has the 9th highest Defensive Rating in college basketball this year.

I will take zero slander of a guy that just had 14-10-8-2 with one turnover

 

[UconnFanDC]

I'm willing to give the majority of the blame to the coach but at the same time our guards just don't shoot that well and tge point guard has to avoid many turnovers

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Clingan the last 6 games before today… But Hurley doesn’t have a problem playing freshman. Unbelievable.

All in all first loss of the season and we win this game if Xavier doesn’t shoot 20 more FTs than we did.

 

[Salty Dog]

Y’all still believe in Hurley ??

you're an idiot buddy.

 

[YoungFree]

Let's see how the team responds. Better to falter in Game 15 then in game 29+

Every foul was an and one for Xavier. It’s infuriating why he played Newton over Diarra and continued to play Karaban instead of Alleyne

I don't see what that has to do with my comment. It was a bad T. They were bad refs—every coach deals with that, and he has to do better.

It also, definitionally, wasn't a 4 point swing.

 

[dilznick]

21-9 on fouls with home ref cooking and it was 71-71 with 2 minutes left. A miracle Uconn was still in the game. That’s how good they are.

 

[HuskyFich]

We outrebounded them by 7 and we equaled them in blocks. What are you talking about?

Fremantle and Nunge ate a buffet today dude

 

[UCFan1513]

On D… Karaban was getting used by Freemantle. Lot of size mismatches for both Nunge and Fremantle.

He was the best player on the floor.
