I just looked at his stats they're insane i think he'd probably be averaging somewhere around 20 and 10 if he hadn't transferred. He'll get his shot at the NBA but it won't be guaranteed. I wish we could let go of this now though, oh how i wish that there won't be a thread when AO inevitably goes to the D league.

That's actually quite remarkable, considering he had a career 49% FG percentage at UConn. (I should note that such a percentage is downright embarrassing for a guy who never shoots from farther than 5 feet away.) They must have told him either layup, dunk, or pass it out. And to abandon that pathetic hook shot.

I entered today with a lot of hatred towards AO. Watching these games its clear he made the right decision, unfortunately just the wrong school. Making the Tourney is where it's at. Like the feeling you get when you buy a powerball ticket, already planning your life as a multi-millionaire. He had that feeling one more time.
All I want from an incoming freshman at UConn is to have a primary goal of winning a nat'l championship. I cant blame a guy for going for a second title. As a senior If you told me I couldn't have a chance to play for a title, I'd leave before the ink dried on my release papers.

Numbers lie.
He was not particularly impressive by any stretch this year - looks like Tarzan, tends to play like Jane.
He'll get some D-League attention and it would probably be good for him to head there. The guys who tend to excel overseas are usually the tougher sorts who aren't worn down by the nonsense of constantly being cut, paychecks being late, etc. Alex would not do well there.
One additional thing - Phil Pressey is a really good kid. But as a point guard, he's a grenade with the pin pulled.

Typical........2 rebounds against a physical Ram front line.........but I'm guessing he thinks he played well with his 16 points because, well that's just him!
Without the Huskies winning in the tourney things couldn't have worked out better

Turd school, turd program, turd player, poor BigErn....
Hopefully he can realize what Kemba did for him and what Shabazz could have done for him if he wasn't such a mumu

And yet here you are sticking up for him. Everyone on this board appreciates what he did for us in 2011, just read some of the other threads about him. What people are upset about is how he trashed our HOF coach and program once he left. But you conveniently leave that out of your argument of course....

But according to so many he would've been "great " for the Huskies this year and they would have been better? This is one of the many reasons most are glad he was outta here........his mental toughness or lack thereof......

You beat me to the punch!
It was fun seeing him crying for a call again... the usual, disbelieve look... Wide open eyes & mouth, both hands out, palms up... like "why no call, I'm Alex O?"...

No they're not, they are down on him for not playing hard the year after he was handed a NC ring. For pouting like a 5 yr old and not meeting the challenge instead throwing daggers via the internet at his HOF coach for his own inabilities. If you see it any other way good for you....this was not a favorite amongst Husky fans for good reason!! And Lord knows it ended the way I wanted it to. Frank Haith handled him oh so well!! LOL

Opening a big can of worms with that comment. Maybe if Alex O & his father didn't insult UConn & Calhoun on his way out the door, didn't cry & pout during his time at UConn, there wouldn't be such backlash... You don't see this with Roscoe Smith.

It's not about his decision to leave for most of us. It's about the way he did it. I've always contended that if he had just said "At this point I feel Missouri is the better place for me" and moved on, FAR fewer of us would shed a negative light on him.
