I'll live with this

[jibsey]

bexause I have to, but we have learned some things and we have something to build on. Not depressed.

 

[JMick]

This would hurt a lot less if we got the W yesterday

 

[Towney007]

Yeah second half brought me back to life. It's literally the best i've ever seen this team perform and the absolute worst. Feast or famine, it seems.

That being said - more Jalen Adams.

 

[Bryan Lord]

More gut wrenching because we came back but also less disgusted.

 

[mauconnfan]

Yep they played themselves into a best case scenario early. And the best case was showing some balls. They did, not happy with results but not as upset as I was with 12 minutes left either.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Less Rodney Purvis More Jalen Adams

 

[EricLA]

Drop out of the top 25 for sure I think, but good comeback and learned a lot as well as some good things to build on...

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Daniel Hamilton with the pull up 3 down 1 when we had numbers just cost me a year of life. Holy duckk what an unecessary heat check

 

[BugsyCT]

If the helps them grow as a team, then that's a positive.

 

[jfuchs91]

It's hard to win when you're outscored by 27 from beyond the arc, but we thoroughly outplayed a top 10 team for the majority of the second half.

Will still have a lot of work to do, but we still have the pieces. And Jalen has earned a much bigger role going forward. We're simply a better team with him on the floor.

Disappointing week, but it taught us a lot about the team. Now we just have to build on it.

Less Rodney Purvis More Jalen Adams

No way. Are you serious? He is the only one who drives to the hoop and plays solid d. If you noticed Gibbs played less

 

[Giddyup5]

Maryland Texas Gtown. Need to go 2-1

 

[Fishy]

That's good, I guess.

1-2 and fourth place is a pretty crappy result. Two absolutely winnable games punted into the ether.

 

[mauconnfan]

No way. Are you serious? He is the only one who drives to the hoop and plays solid d. If you noticed Gibbs played less

Gibbs had a rough game but he will be the guy still. Happens.

Just a terrible decision.

I think Jalen playing on guard and Gibbs playing off would bring a lot better offense and better decision making. Rodney is still the hot and cold player he was last year with the good plays combined with the head pounders like the bad pass in the last minute.

 

[UConnSwag11]

I'll live with this if they fix the perimeter defense and switching. That was the biggest thing. We found out Enoch and Adams are going to play a lot more. Miller played great d on wiltjer. We win this game if our defense was better and we don't leave 10+ points at the rim in the first ten minutes. And brimah played extremely well. Yeah brimah played very well, let's see the threads now.

 

[SaeHusky]

Yeah I thought for sure he would take it to the hoop there

 

[mauconnfan]

Just a terrible decision.

2 awful decisions coming down with a chance - DHam pulled up for 3 with he D retreating on him he had all the way for a 8 foot floater. Then the pass by Rodney was just plain awful. They actually had a great chance to win this game still.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Gibbs had a rough game but he will be the guy still. Happens.

Agreed. I like Adams off the bench

 

[James]

adams is probably the best pick n roll player and perimeter defender on the team, he needs to start. I notice yesterday too while he wasn't successful he was aggressive driving.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Also they need the continuation rule like in soccer. That Adams block, Hamilton had the ball no need to stop play

 

[Devland]

This seemed like a lot of the losses last year. Fall behind then wake up to get back in the game and fall short. How about we play with that urgency for the whole game?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Make just a couple of those bunnies and the Zags miss one of those desperation three and it's a different result.

 

[Jay-Bone]

The bright side is we played offensively within the perimeter. If we made more than one 3 we're in it. Totally took us out of our game.
