Lol we aren't on this teams level. Did anyone even really expect us to compete in this game?

And to believe we once had the lead in the 2nd half against the 8th ranked team. We should have won this at home. That's coaching and game management for you.

This was one of our last realistic shots at a signature win. At this point it seems dubious that we'll have enough opportunities.

Villanova, Cincy(x2), and WSU again are it. Throw in the AACT and we might get 6 chances, and we probably need to win 3 of them.

You can see that good coaching could make these players pretty darn competitive. But not with the clown sitting on the bench. They also need a 4o year old looking, semi balding, European kid that can shoot 3s in his sleep.

It comes down to this above everything else. They have no idea what shots they want nor how to get them. They think they have a shot, they take it no matter where they are or how good a look it is.

The poor shooting will always be our downfall. Not only do we constantly miss, but the missed shots leads to transition buckets for the other team.

We're down 6 and they have made 10 more threes than we have. Glaring defensive issues, recruiting and player development mishaps, and the inability to adapt to the new school college game.

Adams is gassed, Ollie doesn't know how to rest him. He needs fresh legs in the 2nd half to be really effective, especially against good guards.

Terry Larrier inside the key is unguardable at the collegiate level. How every offensive set doesn't go through him at the foul line extended is mind boggling. As bad as this roster is, a good coach would win some games. This 1.5 years of ineptitude falls squarely on the head coach.

Can we make the CBI.
This is the first time in my UConn fandom, where I don't think of us as "above the CBI"

Saying that, I'm not sure we'll have the record to even get in that tourney, unfortunately
