No Defensive Toughness at all

[Skiblets]

This team seems softer than previous years

 

[Vuce]

Then we are in real trouble because our offense has generally been horrid all season

 

[David 76]

Throwing the ball away!

 

[Skiblets]

UConn defense holds teams to 40% and under....not 57%

 

[7774]

Defensive toughness has been the main thing keeping us in games this season. Not looking so great in this first 10 minutes though.

 

[David 76]

Just when it looked like all was lost....
C'mon guys!

 

[socal613ws]

this team is NIT bound

 

[Skiblets]

Need them to get up in somebody's grill and declare...not tonight

 

[Skiblets]

Rebounding needs to improve as well

 

[David 76]

If we didn't keep giving the ball away, we'd be running away with this game.
We are right back to no one can handle the ball but Boat.

 

[Forte]

I can't decide what's worse our front court or the announcers.

Boatright forgot he can break his man down and get a 12 footer at will.

 

[Skiblets]

This team is softer than Charmin on the glass

 

[Horatio]

Boatright forgot he can break his man down and get a 12 footer at will.

The problem is Boat doesn't get the respect or foul calls that Kemba and Bazz got and Brimah can't breath hard on a guy without getting called for a foul.

 

[jdb50]

No way we win with Boat playing like this. One senior does not help. If Daniels stayed we would have had some answers. What did leaving early do for him?

 

[Hurleyman216]

Problem is Brimah has only played about 8 minutes tonight as he's gotten 3 VERY weak fouls called on him that should not have been called. We are a different defensive team with him in the game, that's been our main problem tonight.

 

[David 76]

Many main problems
Turnovers
Lack of rebounding
Fouls called on AB and not called when RB was fouled
Lousy offensive scheme

 

[Skiblets]

47-24 on the boards

 

[nelsonmuntz]

47-24 on the boards

That's what happens when their big guys can get away with fouling and ours can't.

Get Providence on the phone. Maybe we can get a Big East invite

 

[Gurleyman]

We played 4 guards most of the game. You'd like to be a little closer than 47-24, but when you run four guards out there, you concede the rebounding war (unless your 5th guy is Shaq or Emeka or someone).
