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

Yes and because Ollie is an a he sat him for games. Now Diarra will be the first transfer out and we won’t get his brother to come here either. Ollie gotta go!!

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!!
Expand ...
Yeah, Williams should never see the court again. I don't care if he jump 10 feet he sucks playing basketball.
 
MD was the best player in the half and Ollie benched him right after he drew an offensive foul?

They just showed Ollie as he went back to the locker room at half and he was high fiving a player. I would be livid at the performance of my team being down 11 to Columbia - at home, after that blowout to Arkansas.

He has no fire, not tenacity, doesn't care. His players show the same effort he shows, which is nothing.

They either lose this game or they come back in the 2nd half and win, and the players get comfortable and come out lackluster the next time on the floor. Either scenario is a bad outcome.

Pathetic.

Kwintin Williams is a practice player. He should not play in games.

He ain't the problem. If the other guys did their job he could get on the job training with no notice.

This offense is a joke.

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

I don’t think it’s about quitting on him or lack of effort. This is happening way too many times. There are so many fundamental problems with this team it’s scary. We look clueless on both ends of the court, inconsistent with FTs, can’t shoot 3s, can’t defend 3s. What the heck do they do in practice? Do they ever draw up any plays, or just wing it every time down?

I’ve been a big supporter of KO since Calhoun retired, but so much of this is on him. You can’t hide it anymore.

He isn't the main problem but he brings nothing to the court right now. Looks lost out there and out of position and I really haven't seen this great leaping ability he is suppose to have in game for sure.
 
Feel sorry for the kids on this team that picked UCONN to play basketball at.....they don't deserve this level of coaching....Are they allowed to transfer after the first semester. Jalen Adams should just go to Europe and try to develop his game there. Why waste time at UCONN??? What's the point??

Jim Calhoun would be throwing chairs in the locker room and swearing up a storm...God I miss those days...

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.
Expand ...
Vital has to Play. Enough of a great 6th man off the bench. If you start him, he may set the tone? Just a thought.
 
If KO loses this game and we keep going downhill I'm sure he has a chance of being fired mid-season. He is an embarrassment to the program right now. Ever since his divorce his energy seems to be lost. Maybe just a coincidence but I can't believe how his energy isn't there anymore.

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.
Expand ...

A national search? Good one. UConn is in the AAC and not very attractive. The coaching candidates will be limited. Think coaches from America East.

We are being out hustled down the court by Columbia which is very emabarrassing.
Expand ...
It's not even hustle. It is a team that knows what they are suppose to do. Versus a team that doesn't. Still we should win just on talent.
 
Is anyone going to go to the nova game? That will be a blood bath with this current team...

And this is why this discussion goes no where each time....

Hustle is very important when you aren't talented like this UCONN team.

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.
Expand ...
The only good sign is looks like Columbias 3 point barrage is slowing down.
