Official Columbia Game Thread

[DoakW]

This is embarrassing. Please get rid of Ollie. He should have been gone a long time ago. Pull the trigger at halftime

 

[BringJimBack]

Get Williams out now. He's responsible for what eight points in three minutes?

What is Ollie seeing that would even make him think he’s an option?? Ollie not a clue, Diarra been on bench and he’s our best player!!

 

[WrenchFan69]

Columbia cuts 15x as hard as us. It's crazy. Honestly so nice to see

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Funny how we thought that at least this team would play hard. But the guys have adapted quicker than I expected to the Ollie way

This is EXACTLY the truth.
New players come in, full of energy and effort to start the year.
The longer they’re here the more basketball IQ and effort they lose. They soon learn that “team ball” is not emphasized on O or D.

If anyone wants to know what a team that's quit on its coach looks like, here you go.

 

[NielsisGood]

It 100% falls on him.

I was going to slightly defend Ollie here but why bother at this point.

 

[Hoophound]

Diarra needs to play. He needs the experience and time on the floor. He's a baller.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Larriers second assist of the season lol

 

[Paesano]

This Columbia team was underrated and will be.in the Top 25 next week.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

If anyone wants to know what a team that's quit on its coach looks like, here you go.

What about a coach that has no business leading a team?

 

[HawkHusky]

Diarra and Vital are the only guys trying on the court. Again.

 

[Milo65]

Columbia playing like pimps instead of nerds

 

[Travelman6]

Diarra needs to play. He needs the experience and time on the floor. He's a baller.

Other than some nice Vital 3s he is the only positive of this first half and probably 1 of only 2 or 3 uconn players giving any effort.

 

[BringJimBack]

Yo this team is 1-4. Is this serious? Like this whole team is absolutely pathetic.

They have a coach and we don’t. They lost by 14 to Villanova, you don’t think they were gonna show up!! Ollie gotta go!!

 

[Milo65]

Please don’t

 

[UconnFanNVa]

Our team has never heard of this cut that you speak of.

 

[MadDogRevival]

I hear a knell pealing out, from Storrs.

 

[Hi-Low]

I have serious doubts we come back in this game...just so sad to be down 11 to Columbia at half. Even if we do it's meaningless with 24 games left against (mostly) much better teams.

 

[GoUconn7961]

UConn led for 30 seconds in this game. Good Lord..

 

[imno1]

This Columbia team was underrated and will be.in the Top 250 next week.

fify

 

[Northbound]

And a lot of the roster inconsistency falls on Ollie too.

A lot? All of it falls on him. It’s his program he owns every facet of it - good or bad.

 

[Forte]

well.... another game where a team shoots over 50% on us. Has UConn shot over 40% once this year?

 

[FartMan69]

Well this stinks out loud

 

[UConnJim]

We have no steals, being outrebounded, and giving them open 3s. The main issue is effort.

 

[RGay2006]

Unwatchable! Ollie needs to go.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Gonna walk the dog. Maybe I’ll get hit by a bus.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Diarra goes from DNP to best player

Diarra was open with good position several times before he ever got the ball. Guards wouldn’t even look at him.

 

[huskyharry]

Hey, at least they got a stop on the last possession.

Other than Vital, it almost looks like the rest of the team is trying to get Ollie fired.

 

[Huskymagic]

Ollie has destroyed any semblance of UCONN basketball. We look like garbage against every team. Jalen Adams has gone from a very good player to a guy who is out of shape, consistently getting banged up in-game, and playing without a care in the world.

Send Kevin Ollie on his way home, and call Jim Calhoun to take over for the rest of the year. During this time, AD Dave Benedict should lead a search nationally for the right candidate to take over the program.

Need to play Diarra. DO gives us next to nothing.
