Not Impressed

[UConnStats]

Bouknight not meeting expectations from 3, but everything else seems like what we should expect IMO. Need to defend better.

@uconnblueinky & @Stlh8L8ner, welcome to my list of BY'ers I want to have a beer with someday!

 

[Jumpman62114]

Stop pressing/gambling and we’re good. We’re over helping on D and we’re paying for it. Just need to play solid.

 

[Spaceman213J]

Cole needs to pass the ball with some zip and purpose. He can't throw weak lobs all the time.

Gaffney has been solid.

Jackson needs to be less tentative.

Polley looks really good for having torn his ACL less than a year ago.

I miss Akok. I think he and Whaley on the floor together are a great combo. I love that Sanogo moves around too, especially for his size.

 

[Demo Square]

Hey Adams! Ya gotta give the ball up on an uncontested break. Give it to the Big man. Trying to build your stats, ball-hog? Build a team! Make that pass, Adams!

Fatha.

This thread got traction? It was a troll job.

 

[navery12]

I know it's early but not impressed. All we do is shoot 3's. No real offense. Defense is so so. Prove me wrong

Pretty sure the team did that for us

 

[Kembacity]

Can’t wait for akok and Sanogo together, length and weight we can defend any tandem with

Really disappointed with this comment. Especially the “prove me wrong.”

A reasonable comment would be saying you are concerned about the offense.

Interesting, that's the most impressed I've been by UConn since the national championship in 2014.

hmmm?

 

[krinklecut]

Lol that this thread exists is pure boneyard distilled down and shot right into my veins. Good god.

 

[Mister P]

I, for one, have NO complaints about tonight’s game.

 

[CCSU97]

For some perspective ...

UConn is now 15-0 vs. CCSU

Central's 75 points scored is the second highest in series history and the 27 point difference is the closest game since:

1/24/1990 - CCSU 77, #20 UConn 99; Final game at Field House

I think the D key on your laptop is broken.

How do you know he’s not Scooby Doo??

 

[formerlurker]

Scooby Doo's not a d$ck.

 

[uconngb]

Scooby Doo's not a d$ck.

Good point

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

I’m not impressed with Villanova so far. Boston College has it tied up with them at the half.

 

[cohenzone]

Whining in mid season form. The team will catch up to the BY in a few weeks. Geez, one game that they won easily using a lot of players and a transfer most expect to start and play a lot not available. Yep, the game is back. Happy isolated Thanksgiving.

20 minutes of basketball in a season with atleast another 1200 minutes. Relax bro.

I wonder if it was broken when he created his handle?

 

[444JR]

Rotation:
Cole/Gaffney
Bouk/Adams
Martin/Jackson
Polley/Akok
Whaley/Sanogo

Bench:
Carlton
Springs
Brown
Hurley
Garry

Akok and Sanogo to be starting by January(earlier for Sanogo), health permitting.

Excited is a drastic understatement! This team, once momentum is built, will come in relentless waves, pummeling teams into submission.

Made me spit out my Zima

 

[krahs8]

If tonight showed anything its the depth of this team, and we didn't even have Martin who may be the sixth man or akok relax

 

[CL82]

We're also potentially missing a starter.

2 actually.

 

[Travelman6]

At least we aren't USF fans, (do they exist?) who barely beat a NAIA school (who tend to be on par with D3) last night, by 8 I think? Down at the half too and gave up 84 points. Just happy to be out of the AAC

 

[Umami Zen]

Team depth will win a lot of games this year.. Once Martin and AA are back in lineup.. PT will be at a premium for certain players.. Dan Hurley's biggest challenge..

 

[Hankster]

Defense is awful right now

True. They scored over 70 points. They had their share of threes go down that kept them in it the first half.

 

[Deleted at users request]

Sanogo looked amazing tonight but I really like him coming off the bench for Whaley all year. Whaley’s perimeter defense and hedging is something that will be very valuable all year to go along with his rebounding and offensive ability. Really liked what I saw from Polley tonight as well. He’s a lot stronger than last year and his jumper still looks pure.

Looking forward to seeing what Martin brings to the table and having Gaffney come off the bench but I really like our big rotation as is right now. Adding Akok off the bench will make it that much deeper. Loving the bodies we have as it should allow our guys to play free and aggressively on defense knowing we have guys to throw in if someone gets in foul trouble. Fingers crossed that the NCAA can keep COVID at bay this year.

Props for this. Took me quite a while to get it. It's like a Bo Burnham song. (If you don't know who he is, look him up. Based on your post I think you'd appreciate his comedy.)
