[BugsyCT]

Been nursing a 3 to 7 pt lead for several game minutes now. Gotta finish this one.

 

[Ewekon]

Purrrrrrvis

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Again defense down the stretch has been very suspect

 

[superjohn]

Many chances to put them away and it's a 3 point game, not good.

 

[Jimbo]

Tough to put a game away when you can't get stops

 

[BugsyCT]

Can hardly buy a stop. Our D is a sieve tonight. At least we're maintaining a lead.

 

[Mr. French]

One thing that I've noticed is that when we hit a big shot to get momentum like Dham's 3 to put us up 5, we can't get a stop on the other end. Gotta keep the crowd in it and keep momentum.

This goes on all game, every game. It's either gonna kill me, kill the team, or most likely both if it doesn't get fixed.

Not even in transition or anything...they score huge buckets then give up wide open, easy ones right away on the other end. No focus it seems.

 

[Hoophound]

Considering Goodwin can score at will, I'm happy to be up. We are shooting well from three, otherwise this would be rough.


However, we are running a more organized offense for sure. Much better.

 

[superjohn]

Hamilton has been a disaster again.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Dham needs to stop, he obviously isn't hitting give it to the hot hand

 

[BugsyCT]

and Memphis can't miss a FT

 

[TheRogers]

Unbelievable.....

 

[Hoophound]

Great effort by Hamilton there. Good to see some fire.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Can KO realize Miller cant guard Goodwin and bring in Facey?

 

[Jimbo]

Can anyone tell me what happened after Gibbs made the three to make the score 57-50? All of a sudden Memphis was on the line and then next trip down Gibbs was dribbling there was a kick ball and Memohis got the ball.

Best I could tell, there was a phantom foul call on Hamilton as Memphis was trying to inbound the ball. I don't know what the call was on the Gibbs drive, but I think it's safe to say the announcer was mistaken when he said it was a kick ball.

 

[BugsyCT]

C'mon UConn!!!! Get a stop!!

 

[Kevin Caliendo]

or not. Memphis was shooting 30% from 3 coming into this game 7/16 tonight. and also 26/30 from FT line.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Smart plays by Gibbs down the stretch.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

@tcf15, I know you probably will anyway, but if you find any pics of Diarra and Diallo at the game that would be cool to see

 

[superjohn]

We got a favorable whistle the last two minutes but I'll sure as hell take it, Gibbs saved our butts. Facey was by far our best defender and he sat the last 8 minutes, Ollie just called a timeout for Memphis to set a play up. Happy we won but Ollie is scaring the hell out of me lately.

 

[BugsyCT]

Whew!

Really was expecting Ollie to tell them to foul prior to the shot... no other reason he calls that time out in my opinion.

 

[TheRogers]

....nothing like sandwiching the 3-point shooter with 2 seconds left.

Should have fouled on the catch.
