We never have the best player on the court in big games.

 

[KodiacKemba]

Teddy Allen vs UConn smh don’t understand how we let one person beat us !!! Hurley don’t use a timeout when Cole being doubled on the sideline which led to 3 points …. Just unbelievable

 

[mrl2016]

the worst three point shooting team in the tourny, one of the worst in the country, couldn't miss

Allen was out of this world. Sometimes somebody just plays better than you. Our defense wasn't bad, their one on one shooting was better

Yup - 65% from 3, 100% from the line and a ton of tough shots in their

 

[Aaron1995]

We got what we deserved. Average players. Average coach. Love anybody who puts on a UCONN jersey. This is our reality right now. It could be worse.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I recognize like 5% of the usernames posting.

They’re all freescooter

 

[uconntoatl]

Allen made ridiculous 3s. He is shooting 32.7% from 3 this year.

Good players step up when it matters the most. Soft players crumble when it matters the most. No shows from a lot of players tonight

That kid was unreal…he started out 0-6. Wow.

 

[Dooch]

The unfortunate thing…..absolutely UNFORTUNATE thing….is that we all KNOW Hurley will eventually get canned, because he simply cannot coach (and if you’re still defending him- please stop watching basketball). But he’s gonna make us wait. 2-3 more years? How much longer until we have to start this thing all over again?

We can’t fire him right now because of the lift out of the AAC.

But it’s clear- he is not a winner. He does not have it in him. He cannot coach.

We better be right in 2-3 more years on the hire.

I’ll hang up and listen.

LOL - Hurley has taken us from the dumpster to a perennial tourney team. The wins will come. We played great D on Allen and he hit some incredible shots, not much you can do. It sucks right now but the immediate overreactions after the game are hysterical

 

[B1GEast]

I feel for the fans that made the trip to support the team. I don't know who to put this on, the coaches for a lousy game plan, some of the players for not executing.

It doesn't really matter right now, but you have to feel for the faithful that went to Buffalo and probably won't want to stick around for the rest of the games. Feel sick to my stomach

Their defense is what got them the win.

 

[Woodson]

You'd never know we had so many football fans

 

[Khal Drogo]

Your emotions are running high and I understand that, but Hurley didn’t lose this game

Cole and Martin did not show up that first half

 

[FatHank]

What do you expwct when your offense rolls like a square wheel and your team plays like a box of rocks. That theme has been all too prevalent this season. I am glad I did not put up 1k to go to Buffalo from FL. Silver lining.

 

[Smp7598]

Sure glad I didnt go to Buffalo!

 

[UconnU]

God I hate everything about this Teddy Allen character.

 

[Redding Husky]

I’m not convinced giving up on the AAC was a good idea. The Big East had a bad day.

 

[geordi]

Has anyone ever considered the admittedly remote possibility that the teams we play want to win too, that they have players that might be equal to or a bit better than ours, that someone could go off for 37 points (even with decent defense in their face), that maybe, just maybe, we are not quite as good as fans think we are, that maybe the match up didn't favor us? We've been suspect all year -- no definitive offense. It caught up to use tonite. Actually, I think Hurley did a really good job with the cards he was dealt this year. I worry about next season. Lots of pieces to work with, but no one to organize and drive the offense.

 

[T-Squared]

I have felt like a glorified Browns fan since 2014...so much promise.

I am a Browns fan. How do you think I feel?

 

[Flyegirl]

what do you have to do to get a tech????

Wish I could like this 100x

 

[NutmegDog]

You know, forget the in-game stuff. The fact that this staff has had Sanogo for two full seasons now and he still shows very little basketball savvy .... that's on the coaches too. No properly coached player would lunge out on Allen like that. We did it twice!!

 

[dvegas]

Horrible game plan. Horribly executed horrible game plan.

 

[UCSLP]

Is Dan Hurley the right coach for UConn?

Hire Kimani Young

 

[skisafari]

Blame Hurley all you want. The bonehead plays I saw from the guys on the court were simply horrific. The blame is on them.

At some point the coach is a reflection of his players.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Their defense is what got them the win.

What game did you watch?

 

[cohenzone]

I hate life.

So stupid. It’s freakin hoops.

 

[UCSLP]

Let's watch Steve Pikiell as possible new coach, Unless someone has better ideas.

Kimani Young

 

[Redding Husky]

Let’s just join the MAC and call it a day.

 

[huskyfan224]

UConn had plenty of chances and made a lot of boneheaded plays that hurt momentum. But two calls were outrageous. The running prayer Allen threw up at the end and they called a late foul on AJ, very bad. And this needed reviewed…..how is that possible it is not reviewed

 

[skisafari]

At some point the coach is a reflection of his players.

Sorry. Players reflection of coach.

 

[djct1999]

No blame at all? 1 guy puts up over 30. Your pt guard gets trapped right in front of you?

Very little. At a certain point, you have to hold guys in their 20s responsible. So many unforced errors on the floor that were inexcusable. That isn’t on the coach.
