Disagree this KO's talent on the court. Not having at least 1 good big this year and a no 3 point shooters is going to cost him his job.

Scared off two bigs with tons of potential and a 3 pt shooter. This season was over in April.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

I would.

you'd feel good after what u saw? how many prozac and beers did u have during the game?

 

[superjohn]

We b#tch about the refs after every single game for the past 4 years.

 

[KodiacKemba]

Y’all really hate Ollie on the bone

 

[jdb50]

The trend continues.

Do you think they didn’t try and recruit a big and a shooter? KO can’t force kids to come to UConn.

 

[3rdbass]

This. They are getting better. The progress implies good coaching. They are not that talented so the progress is even more remarkable -- the higher the ceiling the easier it is to progress.

This is progress? Ugh the days I longed for .500 team in the old big east.

 

[Hoophound]

Everytime I see a celebration after a three or a lay up and we're not up 15.. this is all I can think of..

Exactly.

 

[Travelman6]

This was a very tough loss for me and likely tons of other fans. Sigh, back to .500.....

 

[intlzncster]

Give it up.

You are talking to 2 of the most relentless cesspool guys in the game. Whaler and august. No retreat no surrender.

 

[BugsyCT]

Here come all the part-timers to say I told you so.

Take your victory lap and disappear like you always do.

 

[upstater]

In that spot you run a play for a three. You don’t send someone barrelling into the lane when you aren’t getting a call. If they do manage to tie - Tulsa has 5 seconds and 2 time outs.

They lose every night for a reason.

It was a high % shot that adams makes 9/10 times. Given how badly this team struggles to score, I'd rather they do that.

 

[Forte]

I have no problem with KO. We just don’t have enough talent. We’re getting better game by game. The last two games UConn played about as well as they could and came up a little short.

Better game by game? I can’t tell if your trolling or really believe what you say

 

[Waquoit]

Do you think they didn’t try and recruit a big and a shooter? KO can’t force kids to come to UConn.

You can try to keep the ones you have.

 

[mauconnfan]

ha thankfully for our feline friends I'm not angry I'm just resigned to these pathetic performances at this point. Say hi to the other ostriches with their heads in the sand for me though

You’re pathetic

 

[nychuskyfan]

Do you think they didn’t try and recruit a big and a shooter? KO can’t force kids to come to UConn.

But he can sure force them to leave.

 

[WestHartHusk]

Do you think they didn’t try and recruit a big and a shooter? KO can’t force kids to come to UConn.

Then we need a new coach. I am honestly completely out of patience with KO defenders. Top 10 pay, bottom 10 results.

 

[D$]

"I'm so proud of my guys in that locker room. They battled. They fought for the name on the jersey. They didn't give up. Give Tulsa credit, they hit some big shots. This hurts, but we're going to keep working, being connected, make the university proud."

Can't wait to hear the bs

 

[mdkhusky]

Is that serious ?

 

[KodiacKemba]

Jalen missed a shot he normally makes at the rim but y’all would like to play for the three and who would y’all want to take the shot lol

 

[8893]

you'd feel good after what u saw? how many prozac and beers did u have during the game?

Yes I feel good about wins, even ugly ones. I also thought we played better defense tonight and had a decent game plan.

I am frustrated that we lost.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

First questionable call against us next game I want to see Ollie get in the refs face. I know it’s not the only horrible thing about him but he’s gotta stick up for his players when they’re out there getting clobbered all night and taking a third of the other teams free throws.

 

[PAHusky]

You’re pathetic

Fantastic. Do you see this team as one that's trending up? What do you see happening next year when we lose the two best players from a mediocre team and replace them with a mediocre recruiting class? I want UConn to win as much as anyone on this board, but it's time to face the facts

 

[3rdbass]

Do you think they didn’t try and recruit a big and a shooter? KO can’t force kids to come to UConn.

There are good 3 point shooters on teams outside the power conferences.

 

[Forte]

We lost Jackson, Durham, Enoch and a pretty damn good guard to providence. That’s significant and Ollie has a stake

 

[Palatine]

Plus we got some horrible breaks.

Ridiculous threes against. Phantom foul calls and head scratching possession calls

Fantasyland.

 

[awfuldan]

I was invested in this game the whole way. They played hard and were fun to watch. More assists than turnovers finally.

Heartbreaking loss. Can't believe they let that kid hit the three at the end of regulation. Oh well

 

[whaler11]

Sure he does. Why not just say 99/100?

Even if he makes it you’ve still got to defend and play another OT on the road with a team that ran out of gas halfway through the second half.

You can’t lead the complaints against the refs and support that decision. They are completely contradictory.

That isn't the new KO. He is a sullen coach who resides back in his seat most of the game. I saw this first hand in the Auburn game. The one with the passion is gone after the divorce.

 

[superjohn]

You would think Ollie was coaching for charity with half these responses instead of making 3 million dollars a year coaching one of the best college basketball programs ever.
