Official Bulldozer the Bearcats Game Thread

[jibsey]

Need a new offense. We don't have the players to run this type offense. The high pick is barely even a pick anymore. I don't understand is Ollie not seeing this offense struggle the way its ran now?

Would having a big man help?

 

[jibsey]

Give Adams the keys right now and see how far we get. 2016-17 starts now.

Yes.

 

[Rewster]

Can we please get the ball inside more. 2 easy bucket when Hamilton touched the ball inside. So sick of this east to west passing only to give the guards an excuse to shoot a 3 with the clock running down. Or to throw the stupidest fckng pas cross court with your friends hand for an easy steal.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Is Ollie basically Samson? As soon as he was divorced he lost all his power.

 

[superjohn]

We give Hamilton a pass. He's been terrible the whole second half of the year.

Who gives him a pass? He rebounds well and gets some assists but if you are a 37% shooter you suck.

 

[Jerry1714]

Fifth-year senior throws the first pass in basketball history that could have been stolen by all five players on the opposing team.

I mean I almost just wanted to laugh, never seen anything like it

 

[Hi-Low]

Miller 0-1 at the half, if he can play all 20 mins of 2nd half maybe we have a shot

So Adams must really suck?

 

[HooperScooper]

So disappointed. I was hoping they would really show up today and play well. Wasn't expecting it but was hoping. They look totally frazzled. And I agree that Cincinnati isn't that good. Their defense is good but no way should they be scoring 36 in a half. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!

What is the biggest halftime deficit this team has come back from this year?

If you want to grasp for something - we were down 21 in the second half to Gonzaga and cut it to one.

That was a lifetime ago, though. And we didn't win.

 

[Kevin Caliendo]

the offense is designed as a drive and dish style, but the problem is that Hamilton, Gibbs, and Purvis cannot beat a chair off the dribble. so they run high pick and roll and end up passing it around the perimeter. teams play 8 feet off Hamilton and he never takes the shot off the pick. so he forces the ball into the lane where three guys are waiting and he takes a tough contested shot or makes a bad pass. Neither Gibbs nor Purvis can finish. the ONLY guard who can is Adams. Yet he never plays (two fouls today). so unless the skip pass gets an open three, it results in a force in the waning seconds of the shot clock.

its sad when teams like Providence and Seton Hall and Xavier and Creighton and Tulsa and Houston and temple and name me about 20 other mid-major teams have more talent than Uconn. Feels like the new normal and not an anomaly.

 

[Marat]

20 min left - do they fold or make it a game?

 

[MexicoHusky]

This is the culmination of 2-3 bad recruiting years

Dham was the beginning of the end, but he's just one guy. We are at rock bottom. Now is the time to buy if you are a Husky fan

That said, I still would like to see this team show something in this last half

 

[Silk31]

Miller sightingggg

 

[superjohn]

So Adams must really suck?

Adams is a freshman and he shoots 43%.

 

[Silk31]

Miller giveth and he taketh

 

[Silk31]

You can't not get that rebound there Phil

 

[Jimbo]

Well it's a good thing we're only playing Cincinnati. A good team would have knocked us out in that first half. Not exactly feeling optimistic here, but at least there's still a chance.

 

[Dove]

Watch UConn lose by 2

 

[Stainmaster]

Gibbs-bashing aside, that shot took stones. One-possession game.

 

[Gurleyman]

Gibbs shooting > Gibbs throwing one-handed cross-court passes. More please.

 

[Silk31]

Who is this #4 character?...I like him, he should shoot more
