No Worries!

The UConn coaches and players will figure this out and be a better team as a result. Sometimes crisis prompts us to make changes that in retrospect we should have been doing anyways - Double Bigs comes to mind.
Now it is also about playing tough and drawing fouls.

I’m hoping to see it. I wish it wasn’t coming against McDermott. Nobody will make it harder to play our game. He doesn’t let you do what you want and forces you to adapt. Hurley tends to think he can win by just playing his game, but better. It’s not the case. If we win it will be because Newton or Alleyne or Karaban had a big game. Maybe even Jackson if he goes hard to the rim.

The team needs the toughness back that has been missing on the road recently. They will find it today.

 

[Jaydumo20]

I'm optimistic about the game. This team has only played less than half a season together. They need to face different obstacles to really gel and this Creighton team was our biggest problem last year. Big win today.

I just have a feeling our Bigs will explode today, along with Hawkins. I get it a tough matchup but they were 9-13 against PC. If they were 18-26 we would have won.
But, either way over the next week we will fix these problems. Rather the slump come early January than late February/March.

A BE loss at home is unacceptable no matter who the opponent is. No excuses.. Win the game.

 

[Hurleyman216]

I expect us to win this game going away today. Hurley needs to use our depth, especially against this thin Creighton team. If we’re up 5 at halftime we will blow the doors off of them in the 2nd half. Lots of pent up frustration right now and I suspect Creighton is going to be the recipient of it.

I'm glad it's against McDermott. This is a great opportunity to finally get a win against Creighton.

My daughter is at the game. She said someone told her the ref that ejected Hurley vs Nova is one of the refs today?

If so whoooo boy

 

[Icehawk]

In some ways all I want from this season is a dang W vs Creighton. I absolutely hate our 0-5 record.

I'll go on record and suggest if there are 26 or more FGA between Sanogo and Clingan, UConn loses.

And a home crowd to intimidate the refs into a fair whistle.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Two players will impact this game more any others. Hawkins and Joey C.

If both aren’t hitting shots again it’s going to be really really difficult to get a W.

And if the transfer foursome, which supplies most of our depth (Newton notwithstanding) doesn’t produce ,,,again will be really really difficult to get a W.

I’m not worried at all about our 4/5 position players. It’s the one, two, three positions that haven’t produced in the last two games. At least not as they were earlier before these last two games.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Does Hurley get ejected in the 1st or 2nd half?

Time to shut up Tall Sheldon

Really, Clingan is shooting 75% FG and Sanogo 60%.

 

[hasheemthedream]

Here we go again why is Karaban guarding Kaluma? Jackson should be on him. Let’s see if Hurley waits the entire game before making a change

We were both wrong I think

???????????

They combined for 23 shots today so my comment never came in to play.

I never said or suggested combining for less than 26 leads to a win.

Ok, sure Jan.

Sounds like you don’t know Creighton. AJ is guarding their best player Schertonmeoier #55. The reason you didn’t notice how good is was because the best defensive player in the country was on him. That would be Andre Jackson

Agree. Hope the team learns from the losses and doesn’t repeat their same strategies that don’t work and expect different results. That would be the definition of insanity.

Great win today. Time to exhale and continue to improve
