It's a little discouraging that UConn can't even compete with the likes of Cinci and SMU.

They are both very good teams with Sweet Sixteen likelihood. We are hobbled.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

They have to miss eventually?

 

[upstater]

Wow, couldn't be a closer call

 

[BugsyCT]

Keep working, guys. Hang in it.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Are we actually dominating second chance points?

 

[upstater]

And that basically shows our problem--open looks but players are scared to take them. Not that I blame Vance for driving to the hoop but it can't be out of control

Ojeleye's been on the bench with fouls, I think.

Nothing has changed. UConn has never been stronger.

We have to finally accept this reality and stop this win the AAC nonsense. Honestly if you look at the physicality of SMU and Cincy it's like the JV is playing the varsity with us. It's not just that they are shooting well, we are getting outmuscled. They have 2 guys out this half with 2 fouls.

 

[UConnDan97]

We've gotta keep banging inside and continue to get them in foul trouble...

 

[Matrim55]

The reviewed 3 (which took like 5x too long) is a perfect example of where our "project" bigs struggle. Facey has to have the intelligence to stay with his man there and not give up the look.

Frustrating. Happy to see the fightback, but I suspect they're going to blow us out in the 2nd half when their starters are back in.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

THIS ANNOUNCER IS GREAT

Agreed, he's really laid back. Not annoying or cringey at all like some of ESPN's fourth string guys.

 

[UConnDan97]

Brimah been doing nice work down low...

 

[8893]

Nooooooooooo

 

[Matrim55]

And now Adams down with an ankle injury. F*&% this season.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

We're hanging in, despite ungodly shooting from Milton ... and then Adams rolls an ankle.

 

[August_West]

Whelp now a 30 point loss

 

[UConnDan97]

Not again...

 

[8893]

This should be interesting.

 

[August_West]

That purvis 3 drops and Adams doesn't twist ankle we are ok heading to half. Now we are doomed

 

[8893]

Getting an early start on my chores has never seemed so appealing.

 

[UConnDan97]

That purvis 3 drops and Adams doesn't twist ankle we are ok heading to half. Now we are doomed

I was just going to say the same thing. Even with the insane shooting percentage from 3, we are working hard and getting our looks. Gotta keep this tight until they cool down...

 

[August_West]

We have had every chance to cut this to 6

 

[BugsyCT]

nice 3 ball Vital

and SMU answers with another 3.

Tall guys that can shoot 3s. That's trouble. Tough road for us 2nd half.

 

[8893]

Vital has some sac.
