Not even mad

[JCSuperstar]

Let's bounce back. That was house money.

 

[Jaker]

yup, not mad at all

our first 4 games we showed some real offense and play great D

 

[Jay-Bone]

I'd consider this board as jovial after a loss right now. Last year I was worried for cesspooler's personal health after some losses.

So we have that going for us, which is nice

The board is taking this a lot better than I’d have imagined lmaooo

The crowd loves Hurley and had his back which is great.

im not mad, not disappointed. happy we fought til the end. i just hope Cobb becomes a 12 and 10 player for the rest of the season.

Cobb is the major revelation. If he’s really this guy , we’re going to win a lot of games

Right. It was a blowout and preseason I wanted a stop to those, but thinking about this compared to Arkasas last year, I felt like we played hard. UConn fans at the garden made me laugh. We weren't going undefeated anyway, let's see how they handle it.

 

[Hi-Low]

I hope Hurley & company are mad as hell.... never want to accept loss with a smile. Of course we'll lose games but need to stop all those idiotic turnovers or loses will pile up. Iowa is a better team but it should have been competitive at least, the game was over in the first 10 mins.

 

[Sphinx]

The only thing that has really changed post-MSG as opposed to pre-MSG is that Eric Cobb has emerged explosively as a legitimate big. The Iowa result was simply the inevitable hangover from the night before's intoxication -- not a bad trade-off, all in all.

 

[jorge34]

Wasn’t the best matchup for them, could definitley use more talent on the court.....
Oh wait, Wilson and diarra are coming back.

They will be fine. It’s early.

I'm marginally dissapointed and thats about it. 1-1 was a good result. Better to beat cuse and lose like this to Iowa than beat Iowa and get rolled by cuse

Agreed ...Yes always better to beat Cuse then lose to them when talking tradeoffs.

 

[gwhuskyfan]

I think going into this week if we had said we'd go 1-1 we'd all be thrilled. It's after beating Cuse that this feels like a bit of a let down, but overall impressed with the guys this week. Today's game would've ended in a 30 pt loss last year. The guys continued to fight and play hard til the end. Bring on the rest of the non-conference and the AAC

[browndog319]

A good team has a loss like this and learns from it. They get better. And they learn how to handle all of the styles of play... and remember what didn't work.

We learned about Cobb which is huge but you guys aren't worried about what we learned about Carlton?

I think we learned he had a couple of bad games. I think it’s too early to put Cobb down for all conference and too early to put Carlton down as a lost cause. He’s only a sophomore.

I would agree with you to an extent but I don't see it as an aberration. Cobb looks like a guy who can compete against strong guys down low, Carlton doesn't. My excitement for what Cobb showed is tempered by what I saw from Carlton.

 

[jibsey]

Not mad either. Hurley can only coach and he doesn’t have a magic lamp to produce the pieces that we are missing. Cobb has emerged. Let’s get Wilson and a Diarra back and see what the coach can do. Better start than last year.

Fair enough. I’m more encouraged by Cobb than I am discouraged by Carlton. Look at the difference in Cobb between last year and this year. Not saying Carlton “will” have a similar trajectory. But I’m not going to write him off. The skills are there. Just needs to adjust to this level. He’s getting better coaching, and we’ll need him to keep his confidence up and keep working hard.

 

[BFieldHusky]

We also have to live through Gilbert's mistakes through the non-conference. Coach is right. He has to knock off the rust. Kid hasn't played in 2 plus years. He will be a much better player in January than he is now.
