What is pathetic is that Syracuse sucks.

Also--we have no big men. This is worse than last year. There is no interior defense. Layup city against a team that struggles to score.

We knew the inside would be worse than last year. The rest of the team was supposed to be improved enough, but the improvement hasn't been enough and Gilbert is hurt again.

Honestly, we can come back. We need to take care of the rock, and get tougher on the boards. That's of course if the refs will let us play.

So many of those turnovers were cheap, though. Like it was the first time they had seen a basketball. Take care of the friggin ball and we're back in this...

 

[Migs]

Michigan St was the last team to not score 40 on us in the first half.

 

[intlzncster]

Start boxing out, stop making incredibly idiotic decisions and passes, move the ball. What else is new.

Hit shots.

 

[Horatio]

Nobody even guards him anymore. Why bother?

He made the one before that one.

 

[dilznick]

Ever wonder what it would be like if you had to watch your own house burn to the ground and there was nothing you could do about it? I would imagine that is what Calhoun is experiencing as he sits in his seat at MSG.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Down 11 and Adams is perfect from the field...maybe we should get him more than 4 shots in the 2nd half?

 

[James]

Gotta start getting more aggressive attacking the gaps in the zone, game not completely out of hand atm

 

[JMick]

And finally the ignore button

oh sorry the truth makes you uncomfortable. If you'd been in WeHa or Glastonbury the last 3 years you'd have seen it too. genius.

 

[3rdbass]

It will be blown up at the end of the season.

Yep, no doubt. The talent we are putting on the court now is just embarrassing to the name!

 

[JMick]

We don't want to know about it.

if you knew you'd want him fired 2 years ago

We are absolutely worse than last year but Auggie and others are great fans because they call out fans who want the program to be relevant again.

 

[mauconnfan]

Really sucks.

Dreadful

 

[Walker11]

Wishful thinking.

Yeah but we thought at least one big guy would step up. They all look lost.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

The score is not as bad as it looks.
We HAVE to come out with the first punch here in the last 2nd half or else we are donezo.

 

[Towney007]

Eh - my only saving grace for this game is Cobb. He's really good and useful. Him, Adams and Diarra (and Gilbert, but he's injured) are the only guys i'm really into on this whole team. I mean I guess Vital, too. He'll be a good off-the-bench type player for a few years, but whatever. The rest of this team is a total disaster.

I'm just so completely sick and tired of having the argument with people. The players aren't good enough.

I'm not crazy about the job Ollie's done either, but you can't look at tonight and notice that one team is a big time hoops program and the other team is just clearly not.

 

[polycom]

People thought that this would be a close game is insane to me...

 

[Ant3411]

I forget that Vital is only a "sniper" against low level D1 teams.

 

[3rdbass]

Wishful thinking.

Wishful thinking? You really think this is anywhere to the talent level we normally have at UCONN? You must have blinders on.

 

[superjohn]

Benedict knows and Ollie's seat was hot going into the season. The seat has melted with the product he's put on the court this season.

 

[uconngb]

Only down 11. Just played close to 5 vs 8.

Please stop w the ref crap. If you couldn't tell who wasn't the better team on the floor you are a genius. Ollie needs to go. NOW

There is nothing to save. He has ruined this program.

 

[Milo65]

Some reality: lacking talent and not much coming in to help.

 

[mauconnfan]

Down 11 and Adams is perfect from the field...maybe we should get him more than 4 shots in the 2nd half?

He’d have a couple more shots if he didn’t elect to turn it over throwing “pretty” passes that aren’t closE

 

[CL82]

Don't like Dickie V but appreciate his passion.

 

[Walker11]

Yeah but we thought at least one big guy would step up. They all look lost.

Its nice to think that our raw big men are the problem but the real issue is that our supposedly great backcourt/wing rotation has no composure at all and are killing us.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

People thought that this would be a close game is insane to me...

Were you saying that before the game?

 

[jorge34]

Any kind of comeback starts with who is purportedly the junior leader of this team.....which ain't happening the way he is playing. No excuse. Horrendous d, atrocious turnovers, lackadaisical offense. I don't care how many points he has, THIS is the worst game I have seen jalen Adams play. And I am sick of watching him. Go to the NBA now kid

 

[polycom]

Were you saying that before the game?

I think my post history speaks for itself.

 

[Walker11]

Wishful thinking? You really think this anywhere to the talent level we normally have at UCONN? You must have blinders on.

It is wishful thinking that KO is going to get bought out in the current economic climate of our state.
