Much Better From Ollie

[UofCT]

Well we are definitely better than last year’s team, so that’s something

On what grounds? Going to OT instead of losing to cup cake mid majors? We are closer to last years team than any team that made the NCAA tournament last year

DO needs to be kept in glass that is only broken in case of an emergency.

That is exactly how I described him when I was watching the game earlier.

Sounds like a great kid...but I just don’t know what he can do out there other than send people to the free throw line.

He’s right, you’re wrong.

Compared to last year’s team, he has many more options, but he’s calling his own number a lot more than he did last year.

His shots are up by half over last year and his assists are half of what they were last year.

Monmouth’s run in the second half was started when Jalen bailed on team basketball and went into audition-mode on a possession. Took a no-hope shot and then committed a foul on the other end - UConn went into an immediate offensive and defensive tailspin.

His points per game look great - but he’s not playing well.

OK so we're going to take one possession from a game where he shot 13 of 22 from the field, scored 31 points, and recorded four assists against just one turnover and say "he's not playing well?"

He hasn't been great this season, but his problem has been shooting the ball more than anything. The entire offense is basically one on one.
