I thought they turned the corner Saturday

[willie99]

then woke up Monday

I'm actually at a loss for words. They lost their composure and let a team dominate them. I could accept one game like that, Georgetown, but this second occurrence is disturbing. Top to bottom, a complete and utter lack of discipline and heart.

They're all coming back, especially Lamb. Forgetabout that lottery pick nonsense.

I can accept defeats, I can't accept scared

They did turn a corner but into a back alley filled with thugs waiting to kick there ass. Problem is they both had equal weapons but we simply gave all their pride and history away without fighting back.

Its like being mugged by an equal sized person flashing only their fists. We surely were punked (and worse, on national TV). Well there is another ally on Saturday that we are turning into. Fight or flee?

They didn't turn a corner on Saturday. The offense still looked awful but it was shielded by the fact that we were able to rebound and run on a team with no frontcourt.

Yes, it's now obvious that Saturday's game had much more to do with Pope-less SHU being really bad, and less with us having figured anything out.

 

[jibsey]

I wonder if all of this lottery pick nonsense and pro scouts at every game gets in their heads?

They turned it. Problem is what was behind the corner.

(I can never get enough of that photo...poor Rutgers)

They turned it. Problem is what was behind the corner.

Remember the Ginsu Knife commercial: 'Wait - there's more.'

I know they got killed, but the exact same Louisville team got killed by Providence not so long ago too. The same people who were calling for Pitino to quit on the Louisville boards are now kissing his ass so you never know.

Hopefully they turn things around.....

I always do hope

hell, in the 2010 BET I was thinking maybe they could get an automatic invite, then a bad St Johns team ran us out of the gym

but then I wanted them to win the NIT, a classic finish for that season ended that

but I'm here, and I'm hoping, and I'll be there next week doing my best to spur them on

Lets Go Huskies

(just don't look scared, I can't take that )

Saturday was a fluke. UConn beat a team without its best player.

 

[Ts5034]

The one thing that everyone was praising saturday was the effort. I agree that it was a lot better effort then they put out the last 4-5 games. But lets not forget that this is UCONN we are talking about. 7 Big East tournament titles, 4 Final Fours and 3 National Championships. It should be expected that the team give 110% every time out there and wear the jersey with pride.

If you take a minute to think about this, how far have things regressed when going into a rivalry game at Syracuse fans are just hoping the team plays with heart and does not get embarrassed? As i said before, playing with heart should be a given.
