It’s hard to be that unprepared for a game.

[Excalibur]

If I didn’t know any better I would think it’s deliberate.

 

[Tenspro2002]

They hit some absolutely ridiculous shots. What is preparation going to do about that?

 

[Palatine]

They came out with decent defense but absolutely woeful offense. Stagnant. Passive. Dug a hole. Never got out.

Hurley knows this is a problem. He has said he needs to be better coming out f the locker room. He hasn't figured it out yet.

Our other big problem finishing games reared its head as well.

 

[Excalibur]

They had one guy that could beat you. And we let him beat us. That’s bad preparation. Full stop.

Everyone knew they had one guy who could beat us. He did.

You mean their best player played like a great player? Calhoun would have focused his entire game plan on stopping him. It was like Hurley didnt know who was on the other team.

Their other guys who weren't Teddy went 7/10 from 3.

 

[djct1999]

This one is on the players.
Embarrassing performance by all of them.

 

[UconnFanDC]

We were prepared. NMSU was just the better team

 

[husky429]

a guard with size has consistently beat us this year. Over and over and over again. And he refuses to adjust.

 

[husky429]

They aren't the better team. We had more talent at 4 of the 5 positions on the floor. They executed better, had more focus, adjusted better, ran better sets, mixed up their defense, etc. We were unprepared AGAIN for a big game.

 

[GHSWolverines]

Hurley is stubborn. That sums it up.

 

[housekeys]

This was not about what they did ( ridiculous shots etc). It was about what UConn did and did not do. Sanogo fouling Allen on the 3. Missing a lay up. This loss was a total UConn team effort.

I don’t think he went left once. If so not twice.

 

[Tenspro2002]

You give him those same looks again and he goes 8 for 25.

 

[GotNets?]

Their other guys who weren't Teddy went 7/10 from 3.

Yeah, that’s fine — it’s the overall garbage on the rest of the team and poor preparation that counts.

 

[rip7774]

Roster was constructed to win games 59-56. Tough to win that way.

 

[8893]

Against another team? Sure.

 

[jibsey]

The guy went off and couldn’t be stopped. Not hard to understand but we need better players.

 

[uconngb]

We were prepared. NMSU was just the better team

You didn’t watch if that’s your conclusion. One guy scored 37 out of 70 points. This game made us look like the 85 Bears against Kadary the first time around.

Danny is clearly not ready for the big stage. Forget about how soft and unprepared we came out. His continued inability to adjust in game is mind boggling. 3rd grade hoops coaches can diagnose this crap.

 

[Palatine]

Hurley is stubborn. That sums it up.

True. He should get better over time. But losing to lower seeds is not a good look.

 

[auror]

The game was tied 16 minutes into the game.

 

[Mots010]

Don’t worry, we likely have no point guard next year.

 

[deedougie]

I just don't understand how a team can come out so passive in a NCAA Tournament game. You can't play 18 good minutes and expect to win.

Pathetic.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

they looked flat and lethargic right out of the gate. Must have been jetlag

 

[Improviser]

Too bad we weren't matched against Indiana for the 12 seed. Looks like they're getting whipped badly.

 

[Palatine]

All true. But if we score more than 22 poins in the first half, we probably win. Our flaccid offense doomed us not Allen.

Had 2 guys on him, who could stop him?

 

[UKemba15]

And he refuses to adjust.

This continues to be accurate. You (and others) have posted this phrase numerous times on here, and the pattern is very troubling to me. I’m as big a Hurley supporter as there is, but this game soured me on him more than any other. I’m not giving up on him, but my god he needs to stop coaching like he’s at a mid-major.

Welp. I guess Hurley made plays for them dumb fouls
