Official Heckle The Hawks Game Thread

They’re not good either. They beat Bucknell, Lehigh and Albany.

But they have Seaborn back now. He's their best player. Missed 3 games this year. He wasn't there for their losses. Without him, this is a different game.

I’ve had people tell me this week that we are what our record says we are. But when it comes to these cupcake opponents that we’re struggling with it’s “they’re better than their record”? Can’t have it both ways.

If we come back to win this in another nailbiter, it might be the least impressive 6-2 record in program history, especially with Oregon having been exposed as frauds.

I’m an for sure pouting. Wish I was being paid $3M/yr to do it though.

So what’s holding you back?

 

[firstnline]

UConn out from the locker with 8 min to go at half. Let's see if that helps

 

[SouthBayHusky]

another day, another struggle against a sub 100 mid major. Hopefully they get back to ball movement and not the same stagnant offense, and maybe a little variety with some cuts and offense down low.

It’s 4 on 5. You could see this very obviously on the slomo replay of the play with Larrier getting hit in the nuts. The center’s eyes and body were following Adams who had the ball and couldn’t have been less concerned with DO.

Right when DO came in, I thought, great, here we go. And there we went.

Not having Cobb is killing us right now in so much as DO is getting so many minutes. And I like the kid.

Diallo having another great game for UK.

I'll take it though. I'm not proud.

Who cares, we only want the low-rated, chip-on-their-shoulder type of recruit.

I just said that this team is not a cupcake - I don't care what others have told you - I've seen this team play - BTW - I meant Seton Hall not Nova - I saw Nova play Columbia

 

[CL82]

So instead of a slow start to the first half, we started reasonably strong but ended slow. I think we should've been more detailed when we asked for them to get off to a fast start.

Don't know who said that about Columbia and Colgate, but they were wrong. When it comes to Monmouth, they are right. This team beats top P5 during the regular season, goes to the NCAAs, and their best player didn't play in 3 losses.

I like throwing salt, lOL

Given how horrible we've looked in just about every game, and needing late rallies to beat sub-200 opponents at home, 6-2 would be about as good as we could hope for. It doesn't bode well for the rest of the season though.

 

[Kitaman]

Jalen has played the whole half, need to keep that in mind. Add to that that Monmouth guard is making them work.

 

[UCDaveD]

Kevin Ollie.

Seems like a good kid but unconscionable that he’s playing over Carlton. Or even let one of Cobb or Diarra play til they pick up their 3rd foul (just not both). We’re 8 games in, time to winnow down the rotation.

 

[upstater]

Kevin Ollie.

Coaches complimenting opponents must be a new phenomenon. Only Ollie does it.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Guys relax, Jalen just wants them to get down 20 so he can play hero ball.

 

[jorge34]

Who said they got tired? They lost focus. Full stop.

Sarcasm


In any event, maybe a half time dose of adderall can help with the focus

 

[UCDaveD]

[Jaker]

They like to make it a challenge

 

[Marbles90]

Up 29-20 and UConn settles for jacking up 3’s. No discipline. No defense. Ugly.

 

[Kitaman]

Monmouth knows they have a shot at winning this. We give inferior opponents so much confidence.

 

[NielsisGood]

Taking Monmouth getting 8.5 might be the easiest money I've made in some time.
