Missed Opportunity

[BigErnMcCracken]

Indiana stinks. There, I said it. Hard nosed team that plays physical but offensively they’re inept. Should have won this game. Incredibly disappointing. Some inexplicable lineups too. Inexplicable. What a f bummer.

Very concerning.

Shot selection at critical points in the game continues to be a major issue for our upperclassmen

I don't like how Hurley puts in 4 bench guys at a time around the 12-15 minutes mark. It puts us on our heels instantly.

Our starting backcourt really blew this game though. It's hard not to love Rique and CV, but they just don't embody high IQ decision-making that leads to wins every night. And when they do (see: Miami), we are really good. But it's not consistent enough.

 

[UCDaveD]

Oh well, our upper classmen are what they are.
At least the Yanks signed Cole.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Very concerning.

Absolutely wrong.
They'll improve from this.
And yes, that which sucked did suck.

 

[cohenzone]

It’s a guards game and our experienced guards were really bad. But it’s up to tge coach to get their attention. This is the kind of game where Calhoun’s quick hook would’ve been worn out. Of course, still time on the clock.

 

[cohenzone]

Neither vital nor Gilbert recognize a collapsing double team.

 

[HooperScooper]

I agree. Missed opportunity. What a bummer. Can’t imagine the Huskies could have played much worse. 22 turnovers is just awful.

 

[4in16]

Defender hooked Vital's arm on that last turnover. Clearly jarred the ball loose.

 

[lavuuk153]

I’m tired of watching us lose close while seeing such terrible numbers from gilbert and vital.

 

[nomar]

All I can say is, I’m excited about the future.

If I was going to say one more thing, it would be to say that watching CV tonight was like watching 2.5 hours of Donyell missing FTs. That was one of the worst individual performances—emphasis on “individual “—I’ve ever seen. Although the buck stops with Dan Hurley, who let that happen.

 

[Giddyup5]

Hurley with some horrible line ups though. You can't let Vital run PG for long stretches when you have Gafney and Adams on the bench. I almost feel bad for Vital because he was not put in a position to succeed especially in the first half.

 

[kelde1wd]

It is not all about AG & CV...Adams and Bouk had off games too. I get guys will have off nights, but we can’t afford for all 4 to be off on the same night.

 

[bazz&boujee]

it’s all good. we’re not a team that’ll finish with a losing record. but we’re far from all the way back. trending up... but make sure you buckle up. it’ll be a bumpy ride..

 

[Tenspro2002]

Seniors who have only ever known how to lose. Need new blood to exorcise the Ollie stink.

but i’m a red sox fan

 

[Kitaman]

I really hate the mass substitutions.

 

[InKembaITrust]

The momentum completely flipped when Akok went to the bench in the first half.

Akok doesn't get in foul trouble we win the game.

 

[cohenzone]

Bright spot, big kids played really well. Too bad the guards weren’t watching the game.

You’re a spoiled child. Did you know that?

 

[Husky Dad]

Coaches and guards blew this game. Sucks have to endure listening to methuselah dickie call a game. Refs let called game for Indiana too. We were better team but guards and coaches us.

 

[nomar]

Absolutely wrong.
They'll improve from this.
And yes, that which sucked did suck.

You’re expecting AG and CV to improve? Bless your heart.

Sad night all around for you then...

Oh good lord of course Ollie gets the blame as Hurley sits there for 30 mins unable to come up with any answers to settle his players down.

 

[dilznick]

They should have never lost that game. They were so much more talented than Indiana. I will be a happy man when Vital graduates. He is a turnover machine. Have him come off the bench and start Bouknight the rest of the way. This was a sickening loss.

 

[CTMike]

I’m tired of watching us lose close while seeing such terrible numbers from gilbert and vital.

Ditto

 

[Spaceman213J]

Hopefully the younger players are learning you have to play a complete 40.

 

[UCDaveD]

I’m tired of watching us lose close while seeing such terrible numbers from gilbert and vital.

I too am not fond of that.

I don't think that's fair at all. Vital played a bad game, but it was bad because he tried to force the ball too much to other guys, not because he was trying to be the hero.
