Great 1st half by UConn. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Just keep the score respectable.

 

[KingAG]

Would it have killed Larrier to pass it to Anderson?

Yes he’s a ball hog, passing is the last thing on his mind

 

[GoUconn7961]

I know it's still a ballgame - but they are so indecisive with the ball down low. Just turn and shoot it!

 

[Fan4ever]

Terrible spacing on that break.

Seems like there is never an intention to pass the ball on a break, therefore no need to create space...insane.

 

[BugsyCT]

Playing hard, we're just bad at everything. At least we're in it.

 

[UCweCONN]

solid first half

This is where we are as a program. Down four at home and happy about it.

 

[jayteeman]

Vital’s quick threes are just poison for this offense.

Vital in general is just poison for this offense.

He has the ugliest 3 point shot in memory.

 

[upstater]

because the rest of our bigs are in foul trouble

Yep, Diarra and Carlton both with 2 fouls. That last over the back on Carlton hurt. Kid has long arms.

No moral victory! I want to win this freaking game! I hope the team does too!!

Called bad coaching. At least D is turned up a few levels.

I would rather Larrier take a shot in the lane than Anderson shoot an open 3. I would take that 95% of the time!

 

[Jaker]

we need better play from JA

 

[Huskybass]

How does David Onuorah start and not record a single statistic other than 2 fouls? Why Ollie starts him is truly puzzling.

Sad but true. I loved the effort though, kids really competing today. Need to see much better leadership out of Jalen though.

 

[SaeHusky]

Need to move the ball like we did the first 10 minutes. Is it so hard for these guys to pass without dribbling

 

[SaeHusky]

Carlton and Diarra need to start 2nd half or I am going to lose my mind

 

[Chely's Home]

The northwestern coach would be interesting

 

[Coach J]

2nd Half
1. Don't let WS get in the bonus early (this means NO moving screens, no out of control fouls, etc)
2. Everyone needs to box out every possession - the 2 late 2nd chance hoops on offensive rebounds from guys not even in the paint at the time is the current difference in the game.
3. Have better possessions, no more unforced turnovers, too quick shots, or forced shots when they can make an extra pass.
4. Get in the bonus and have the lead with 5 to go so we can put the ball in our best FT shooters hands and score at the line (think back to the NC formula).
5. Share the ball a little more which won't hurt.

Let's Go

Very accurate comment

 

[Danzz]

More Carlton, no Onorah.

wish we could by a shooter

 

[UCweCONN]

KO terrible personnel moves. He seems to fall in love with players who add nothing and he's the only one who doesn't seem to see it.
