Kolek had 5 points in the second half only 2 after the first possession of the second half.No, the not getting AJ mentally ready to stay focused and disciplined on D. Not adjusting to the BE POY making 3s. So instead of going u Der the screen you fight through it. Giving up 2 is better than giving up 3.
Non adjusting hurt UCONN, Danny. Hope we learn from this.
Granted, but the more puzzling question to me is why did they not focus on driving on their 3 players who had 4 fouls to get them out of the game?Kolek had 5 points in the second half only 2 after the first possession of the second half.
technical foul for bogus statistical omission- Kolek was on bench for half the 2nd half in foul troubleKolek had 5 points in the second half only 2 after the first possession of the second half.

Plus we played them twice already this year!!!! Are you kidding me with this quote???? That’s as small time as small time can get.I'm not as much of a Hurley hater as a lot of folks around here but a quote like that's a bad look. Everyone playing in the tournament is dealing with the same thing and there was a +75% chance (despite the overtime drama on Thurs) that they'd be playing Marquette if they beat PC.
Go to 5:36 if you want to hear the full quote and the question that lead to the answer. Question was about the defensive lapses and giving up so many 3's to Joplin and Jones
I know you're being sarcastic, but yes it won't happen this year. This team feels different, they're legitimately good and capable of making a run unlike the last few yearsYikes and right before that he talks about his teams were in a bad mental state after losing in the Big East tournament the past couple years...
Not going to happen this time though.
Right. So you think they are gonna be loose this week playing a 14 seed???Yikes and right before that he talks about his teams were in a bad mental state after losing in the Big East tournament the past couple years...

Did you not watch the game the last time we played them? AJax held him to like one shot.I don't like the quote. Sounds like an excuse. I guess Marquette had two more hours to prepare and that's why they won. What I dislike more is Hurley starting the game with AJax on Kolek. AJax is an awesome off ball defender. He creates chaos and gets steals and deflections. But in man to man, especially against crafty point guards who can create their own shot, he will get in foul trouble. Hurley should have started Newton on Kolek and then had Alleyne and Diarra follow up. I like putting Jackson on a shooter not a penetrator.
Hard to do when they were sitting on the bench.Granted, but the more puzzling question to me is why did they not focus on driving on their 3 players who had 4 fouls to get them out of the game?
No, I was just repeating what Hurley said that it's not going to happen again this year.I know you're being sarcastic, but yes it won't happen this year. This team feels different, they're legitimately good and capable of making a run unlike the last few years
There will be no way to sugarcoat this if we don’t make it to the 2nd weekend. None.No, I was just repeating what Hurley said that it's not going to happen again this year.
I can't really fathom another first round exit but just winning one as a huge favorite won't be good enough, he needs to make it out of the first weekend and he's talking like he expects us to go much further.
He's built this thing up but bottom line is we finally have to execute on some this talk when the games really matter.
We seem to say things like this quite a bit….it’s year 5. He’s had enough time get a Masters…does he need 3 more years for a PhD?…or another 2 for a Post Doc?Non adjusting hurt UCONN, Danny. Hope we learn from this.
