Official Cinci Semi Game Thread

Exactly - if you're a fan, it's through thick and thin. While I'm not "happy" with this season, I don't want Ollie out, and I do want to see how these players progress. Even Duke under K had some pretty bad seasons - maybe not this bad, but probably with fewer injuries.
I wish the fan base were a little stronger, mentally.

He was playing in arguably the best collection of teams ever assembled in a conference. You weren't paying attention if you couldn't tell all three of them were really good players as freshman.

Your memory seems short term.

Vital, Durham and Vance would have produced better results on that team.

 

[UConnDan97]

Vital!!!

 

[BUConn10]

Time for Kentan to show out!

 

[BugsyCT]

Got momentum now - LET'S GO!!!!!

 

[UConnDan97]

Brimah time-ah!!!

 

[UConnDan97]

U C O N N UCONN! UCONN! UCONN!!!

 

[superjohn]

Awesome stuff from Vital, he really put some english on that last layup.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Vital and Facey. And things move better with Adams on the court.

 

[BUConn10]

Vitality

 

[UConnDan97]

Big Red just told Cronin to suck it...

Ya think?

We were lucky to keep it at 14 without him.

 

[shizzle787]

We need to get this tied by the 12-minute media timeout.

 

[Scottzer]

We down 5 now?

 

[UConnDan97]

My young children are literally afraid of the sounds and words that just came out of my mouth. My neighbors are too...

That's why his 3rd was so ridiculous.

This is a game where a marginal player can become a legend. Will it be Facey?

 

[Jimbo]

I don't agree. We beat Duke in 2004 because Coach K played Shelden Williams with 2 fouls, and JC sat Emeka with 2. Thank God Emeka never picked up #5.

In fact, Emeka never even picked up #4. But you're right, the way the first half of that game was being called, Calhoun's decision to sit him with two probably made all the difference. Krzyzewski kept playing his guys, and I think Williams and Randolph both picked up their third before halftime. They were both sitting on the Duke bench as UConn completed that 12-0 run to decide the game.

 

[BugsyCT]

You can not foul with 1 on the shot clock, Facey.

Unbelievable.

 

[Ewekon]

everything's a foul. i want the OBE back

I guess not.

 

[4UConn]

UConn should make a formal complaint to the AAC.

 

[Nostical]

Guess not.

Nick Horvath was their last line of defense. It didn't go well for them.

No.

 

[UConnDan97]

These refs are so beyond belief at this point...

 

[uconnell]

Everything about the conference is an abomination.

What has that got to do with the refs? Why don't you Big East wannabes go watch BE games and leave us football and basketball lovers alone. Bunch of whiners.

 

[nomar]

We can't get through a single possession without getting a foul call. This is nuts.

 

[Hurleyman216]

We were catching up...queue the refs

 

[BugsyCT]

oh my lord - WOW
