Official Obliterate the Orange Game Thread

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.

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]

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

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.

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 moron. 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.

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

I think my post history speaks for itself.

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

hopefully it gets him fired with cause

 

[UCDaveD]

KO is an idiot more concerned with nailing college-aged poon than putting in the work to coach UConn basketball

It's basically just an open secret at this point.

Yeah but who are our punchers?

 

[AntG168]

Will you continue to post tonight when we make this a game? Or will you disappear?

 

[Milo65]

Should I start drinking?

He has 11 points. If he wasn't playing we'd be down 20.

That's why it doesn't matter blowing it up. Ollie is done on the trail now, so much ammo for other recruiters.

 

[Ewekon]

They clap for each other after bone head plays. I'd rather bazz ripping boat a new one and boat answering back. There isn't a Jordan alpha here but goes without saying. It may or may not be fair to Jordan to compare him to Bill Russell. But jazz isn't Jordan. Yet for 1.5 shining moments he was. Over 300 programs wish they had that undersized fighter. Now he is cashing checks

 

[ZenConn]

Could have been worse. You aren't going to win many games turning it over 14 times in a half. Jalen should have just taken it to the rim the two times he threw it away.

 

[3rdbass]

So you think DB is going to let UCONN fade into nothing? I don't think so. They will work a buyout with KO. If we end the season as bad as I predict I can't see him sticking.
