Where are the "keep Ollie" dopes now

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.

 

[Waquoit]

Missed a lay-up for a tie at the end.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

At least the 37 Tulsa fans in attendance are pumped up now.

 

[HuskyFich]

Great! Awesome! Fantastic! Wonderful!

No yelling on the bus!

 

[EBonz30]

It’s a team that finds a way to lose, it’s become part of the culture, similar to the 2015 New York Giants.

Find a way to lose.

Typically means needs a change at the top to change the culture.

Where's the moral victory tonight? We're great at those. Are we crowing because it took us 2 OTs to lose tonight?

It took NINETY minutes. That’s why everyone is so tired.

 

[upstater]

That’s a great point.

That was an endgame clinic in pure stupidity.

Andy Reid is better with time outs.

When a team struggles so badly to score, you do what you can to take the best shot you can. This idea that you milk the clock is idicocy when you can't shoot well.

Ollie going back to 3 guard look bogged down the offense. Not fouling up 3 against a team who hit 15 threes cost us a win. Overtime should not have happened. Plain and simple.

Uconn now 7-7 and 0-2 in conference. Only person this reflects is Ollie.

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.

If KO knew how to adjust to a team that literally only shoots threes, this game woulda been over after 40 minutes. His in-game coaching is more often than not, terrible.

 

[UCweCONN]

The guys played hard..... I don't want to hear it. Now lost 5 of last 6. We suck and you apologists better shut the front door..

Go find a cat to kick.

 

[BugsyCT]

Heartbreak. Brutal game to lose.

'Yard should be fun tonight.

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.

 

[Hamms30]

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..

 

[August_West]

I volunteer mine. Hate that bitch

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.

 

[KodiacKemba]

I’ll only blame Ollie for not receiving at least a tech for the horrible officiating that’s goes against us !!! We get hacked vital Jersey gets pulled I’m just tired of the discrepancy in fouls a game ... how does a team with 6 blocks 6 steals with only 7 TO only go to the line 14 times in 50 mins of play ??

 

[PAHusky]

Go find a cat to kick.

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

Our young bigs played a little better. Jalen and Terry were pretty good.

 

[Jimdish255]

So how many teams make the AAC Tournament?

...asking for a friend.

I can barely hide my contempt that I have to read these posts on our board after watching these horrific losses.

Ummm...we have had 3k for two different games this year. You are really gonna go there?

 

[intlzncster]

I don't want to do anything right now. I'm tired of this team and I'm tired of losing to bad teams.

Fair.

 

[RJScootin]

Entertaining game. This is a loss in the past that would stick with me for a few days. The current numbness to losing helps me change the channel and move on.

Plus we got some horrible breaks.

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