I hope we win a game soon.

If we can't get by Loyola. It could get really ugly.

Not to say it hasn't been pretty darn ugly so far.

 

[jibsey]

Are they better than Wagner of Northeastern?

Loyola Marymount: They are a mature team that plays in a good conference. They are bigger than either Wagner or NE, have a couple of Euro centers at 6'10" (primary), and 7'1" (backup Frosh). Top scorer/rebounder from last year is gone, but most of their starters are 3rd or 4th year guys. They made a deep run in their conference tourney last year but they lost their games throughout the year to St Mary's and Gonzaga pretty emphatically. They lost to Nevada by about 15.

To think may people didn't want to play them because they would hurt our RPI. HA!

GREAT
another team of upper classmen
Boys vs Men
In retrospect I really wish KO had brought in at least one or two JC/5th yr grad to bolster the size and experience

We picked the wrong season not to schedule Central, Maine and New Hampshire to get warmed up lol.

Ollie is taking Diaco's advice and is tanking the season for the No.1 pick.

On the road in a small gym with a raucous crowd? This is a lose-able game even for a good UConn team, let alone this one. I just hope Ollie has gotten their minds right in the intervening 6 days. They looked to be having zero fun in the first two games and they just need to go out and play.

(And stop with the hockey substitutions. Best guys play until they're tired or in foul trouble. And stop running plays which culminate in a post feed to a big man who has no chance of scoring.)

i am not feeling optimistic tbh, but maybe something changed, maybe they found this-

you can already bet the house ollie will start the game immediately trying to feed facey or brimah for multiple possessions in a row. His play calling or whatever the hell he is doing on the sidelines is shoddy and completely detached from reality; none of the bigs are good post players. the fact that the fundamentals of screen setting has been eschewed to get them the ball for inefficient jump hooks is mind boggling, like cmon.

Thank you.

He needs to pick a starting 5 and ride them for better or worse ( and really at this point how can it get worse? ) he can sprinkle in some subs like 2-3 . But we need 5 players all playing 30 plus minutes so we can actually have a team gel together. Once it does, and is in the pocket THEN start adjusting .

Looking forward to the "Is Loyola a must win?" thread tomorrow morning.

 

[BUConn10]

They need to get Kemba in for a practice to give these guys a little pep talk and mojo with the way he's playing right now.

I'd like our chances better if we were going into Cameron or Rupp. We're already 0-3 in my head.
