Better energy at least

 

[Kitaman]

we can win this if Ollie can find the answer

 

[CL82]

Cmon Larrier close on the shooter

 

[nomar]

Let's give them 3 chances every trip

 

[Kitaman]

how many offensive boards they have?

 

[mauconnfan]

Can’t rebound with midgets and Larrier doesn’t box out on. FT

 

[HuskyHawk]

Love Cobb’s outlet passes.

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

how many offensive boards they have?

About as many as we have turnovers.

 

[LIuconn]

good lord with that outlet pass

 

[CL82]

Cobb!!!

 

[Horatio]

Cmon ref. All ball

 

[superjohn]

Cobb is the only guy who came to play.

 

[nomar]

All ball

 

[Kitaman]

that wasn't cobbs fault its the player he beat on the dribble

 

[Travelman6]

Cobb is maybe the one positive I can take from this game so far. He should get more minutes until he proves otherwise.

 

[Tenspro2002]

KO shouldn't have to play defense on the sideline for us to play defense hard. The players need to step up and answer the call.

KO brought these kids here and coaches them every day.

Either he failed to bring in kids with the necessary toughness and attitude, or he failed to earn the respect of those kids in order to get them to buy in.

 

[mauconnfan]

Dicky itwas all ball

 

[JMick]

clear push.... guess that doesn't matter.

 

[UConnDan97]

That's a push off!

 

[nomar]

Cobb is feeling his oats

 

[BlueDogs]

Yeah I mean - to me this is just kind of the total writing on the wall game. Rivalry games have a way of doing that.

Recruiting isn't good because what gets here isn't very good. What gets here that is good isn't made much better, if at all. Yep, it's the talent. Yep, it's the energy. Yep, it's the coaching.

I mean jeez this team looked so jacked up for tonight. And in like 3 minutes you could see every kid on that court just with the look of 'we shouldn't be here, should we...' It's hard for Ollie to keep kids up for a pounding like this where super long dudes are just dunking and rebounding over you at will.

Where it comes back on Ollie... I mean dude how many times are they going to Larrier in the paint and having it not work? Why were Diarra, Cobb and Larrier not playing together? Why can't Diarra be on the court the same time as Cobb? Why is Polley even playing more than 3-4 minutes a game at this point? Why are content to work the zone instead of getting out ahead of it? Every wrong adjustment they can make they make. Every redundantly bad thing they can do, they do. They don't seem prepared for Syracuse, they don't seem to have more than 2 or 3 things in the playbook...

It's just a mess.

Yup and it starts with KO who can't recruit. Hurley is pulling better players into crappy URI than we are with championship rings. Either he can't evaluate talent , doesn't know how to recruit well and/or can't shape them talent he has.

 

[Jimdish255]

Terrible call. WOW! Thanks refs.

Just iso Cobb until they collapse. On him.

 

[mauconnfan]

Larrier either takes shots or turns it over

Awful passer

 

[Kitaman]

Larrier ready for the NBA
