Jalen out

CTPride said:
Some people close to the team are speculating JA has a hang over from one of the parties on campus last night. Just a rumor though.

They most probably flew out prior to this morning/ last night. So that info seems false.
 
I like Jalen, but we actually probably played the same without him.

I think we lose by the same margin with him.

Did you see that offense. I mean it was Anderson trying to break guys down at the last second. Jalen would have been good for at least 5-10 pts. We would still have lost by over 15 but it would have been closer. Anderson is just an awful guard who should be only giving Jalen breathers but since we have no depth there he is playing too many minutes even with a healthy Jalen.

If Jalen would have played, Cincinnati would have played harder and still won by 25.

I don't agree with that though it doesn't matter. A loss is a loss. What is most concerning is I'm not sure I'm seeing any of our young players getting better as the season goes on. That is very disconcerting.

No what? That Jalen wouldn't have made any difference to how much we lost? Doesn't matter when nobody else is getting better and we are running no offensive sets and having a horrible offensive player in Anderson try to score as the shot clock runs down. He makes Jalen look like MJ. LOL!

Your question, did you see that offense? Answer, no, I saw no offense.

Ok I misinterpreted it. Yep, clearly besides a few nice passes breaking the press there was no game plan set up for when these guys would be playing half-court offense. It would have been nice to get Carlton a few more touches in the paint.

What I need is 110% when ur on the court. Christian brings it every game. Antoine plays hard. Larrier showed effort today. I want Cobb in. Our young-uns need to keep on working! Was I aggravated the whole game? What else is new. Feel sorry for Jalen, but watching from the bench can give you a different perspective. If he wants to fill the shoes of some of our legends, well the opportunity exists!

Comes from a time when seasick sailors would get off the weather "windward" rail so that their upchuck didn't blow back on the rest of the crew.

You gonna show up at the football spring game and tell the players how horrible you think they are to their faces like you did in the Cincy game thread?

I pretty much shut things down when I have a cold so take with a grain of salt, but there are some guys that when they're out with the flu you're surprised and then there are guys where you're not.
 
Man i had just put my son to bed and settled in on the couch about 8:30 to watch the game. Granted it was with much less excitement than in years past but whatever, something to do on a Thursday night. Flipped on my DVR and the first words ... "no jalen adams tonight". I put my head in my hand and nodded off by the 4 minute mark. Worst. Winter. Ever.

Ya, those brutal CT winters are not helped by Uconn sucking so badly.

At least when I was stuck up in bed sick like a dog all fall, winter and spring 2011 during that brutal winter I at least got to enjoy a run for the ages.

Kemba (and Jameson) willed me through that winter. My wife was pregnant and we lived in a house with a 100' long driveway that might as well fell off the face of the Earth. If that driveway wasnt down to pavement after even an inch of snow it was a death sentence. I sat in the dark, alone, watching that magical run and i couldnt have been happier.

How many holes have you punched in your parents’ basement wall over the fact that people generally tend to like posters who aren’t sour and unpleasant?

It’s almost pathological how upset you are that people actually like August. Get help bro.

Hes got some kind of fetish for @8893 too.

There is the flu and there is the FLU
If I missed 15 —20 days of work in a 40 year career that’s probably a lot
I broke an ankle at work and missed one day. I’m not tough I’m durable.
I claimed I had the flu a few times and might have missed a day if at all.
But once I really got they FLU . I missed Thursday,and Friday thinking I would be good to go Monday. I didn’t make it back until the following Thursday.
I lost 15lbs. And the lightest touch to anyplace on my body hurt.
There were even a few moments when I prayed I would die.
The wordy Flu is misused and comes in many forms. Every year people die from it.
In Its most severe epidemic It may have even killed 50,000,000 people in 1918.
Young adults being a large demographic in that pandemic .
It’s the most under studied major disasaster in history and it’s ignored in schools today.
As an ametuer historian and fairly competent Genealogist whose family was profoundly affected by this epidemic. I take the FLU very seriously.

Which one do you think Jalen has? My hunch is that he won't be dying from it.

And, to be clear: I'm not questioning his toughness. He played through a pretty severe ankle sprain last year from what I recall. It's just that, different team, different time, and I think it becomes easier to play through whatever it is that's ailing you.

Different team, different time and he'd have already played a pre-tournament season's worth of minutes this year
