UCF has extended pressure and UConn has gone four straight possessions of not starting offense until less than 12 seconds.

These foul calls are skeptical...

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

That stupid call again

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Massive play by CV!!!!!

 

[Dove]

Wow Vital with a bacon saver.

 

[Matrim55]

I love Christian Vital. He's got more dog in him than anybody since Boat, at the very least. CITY kid.

 

[UConnDan97]

What a hustle play by Vital! He needed that from a mental standpoint. Adams needed the timeout too. The team can get their wind back and their heads...

 

[HuskyHawk]

The Huskies are gassed and are burning clock. I don't like it. KO needs to use those timeouts to get the guys rest.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Need Facey back on the floor if for no other reason than getting defensive rebounds. That's the only way UCF is scoring.

 

[huskyrob1]

Vital's bucket was huge, worth at least 2 min.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Ummm Facey please

 

[UConnDan97]

The Huskies are gassed and are burning clock. I don't like it. KO needs to use those timeouts to get the guys rest.

I agree. Ollie should use one in the next minute or so. He's got three to burn...

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Thank you

 

[UConnDan97]

And right on cue, Ollie with the TO...

 

[Chin Diesel]

Vital's bucket was huge, worth at least 2 min.

The tipped alley oop by Fall led to a transition 3 by UCF.

+2 on the huge hustle play; -5 on the getting fancy play.

-3 on that one. Ugh

 

[Chin Diesel]

Fall is completely taking UConn out of its offense. The guards are adjusting their 15' jumpers.

 

[UConnDan97]

Fall has been mauling Brimah down low. The refs have to keep an eye on that nonsense...

 

[Dove]

Brima dribbling at top of key. More please!

 

[huskyrob1]

Time out

 

[Chin Diesel]

Ollie needed to use a TO when the score 56-47.

Need to get back to running offense

The game changed when they decided to stop running offense with over 10 minutes to go.

If people wonder why some of Ollie's in-game coaching gets questioned, that decision is a good example.

 

[Dove]

Since Jalen went apeshit on Vital and Purv this team clammed up.

 

[Matrim55]

If we'd just kept them honest on the boards this game would be over. Instead we're out of gas and holding on for dear life.

Those 16-footers we were draining at the start of the half don't fall forever. We're in trouble.

 

[shizzle787]

We need a bucket pronto.

 

[huskyrob1]

Ollie needed to use a TO when the score 56-47.

I know but better late than never, draw up a play to get RP open.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Adams should have gotten a break 10 minutes ago. Paying for it now.

 

[Matrim55]

The game changed when they decided to stop running offense with over 10 minutes to go.

This coincided with Facey going out with his 4th foul & Fall coming back in. We've also been outrebounded 21-10 this half.
