Play that kind of D for most of the game and then we might have something.
 
This is why I hold the team and program to high standards. I said it before we have enough to win the AAC tournament. Great job by Jalen, Amida, and CV in the second half.

Rodney's inbound won the game dude. He had a great second half as well.

How did the Purvis dunk not count? Clearly before buzzer. Was it the same ref that counted UCFs final basket that was clearly after it?
 
That Vital signing is gonna be really big for us. 4 year players like that can have a huge impact on a team, ton of dog in him.

Our offense has been pitiful for the better part of Ollie's tenure. We win games with our defense - we're losing right now because we're getting shredded on the defensive end outside of ~5 possessions.

These threads crack me up every game. If we're winning, people start picking their favorite players and making the case for why they were the only posters on the board who knew their favorite players were good.

HAAAAA!

We've come full circle. Well done. Well done...

I rescind my complaint, they reversed the call eventually. 65-62.

They counted the last dunk according to JoeD, so we win by 3. 65-62.

Yes, that should have counted. Great win for UCONN. CV was huge off the bench. Special player and JA was the man down the end. Great d and guard play in the second half for a big win.

Yeah. Ran it in slo-mo. There was .4 on the TV clock when the ball went through the hoop. I'm glad it wasn't vital in this great win.

The defensive intensity notched way up like days of old. Nice to see. Obviously shots were falling but the D created the rhythm and momentum. Kids went out there to take it and they got it done. The Jekyll and Hyde nature of their play is beyond confounding, though.

We will have to endure the Jalen to the NBA posts.

Adams seems like he likes it here. He seems like he's always on the same page with Ollie too. (When he chirps at players, it tends to be because they aren't following Ollie's instructions.) He's not Hamilton, IMO.

Kid is so special. We aren't even talking about the second half he had because we just expect it from him. There are places he needs to improve of course, but I really can't get over how good he is already. And he's all heart, which is something I personally like.

Memphis got 22 points in the 2nd half.

I really can't believe the crap Ollie get around here. This team has fought hard all year, despite the challenges.

As much as I love Ollie, and agree a lot of the stuff said about him on here is nuts, he didn't prepare his team coming into the year, and that's a fact. There were no real injury issues in the first few games. They just got trounced by better teams with way less talent and size.

That Wagner game was coming like a truck and the team was a deer in the headlights. Ollie's gotta own that mistake and fix it in coming years. He's a new coach. Mistakes are expected, especially with a team that hasn't played much together. But we can't give Ollie a free pass. He screwed up, everyone does, and he needs to improve to keep UConn on top. And I think that's a fair expectation for fans.

Firing him is and was an idiotic notion however, even at the seasons lowest points.

I've been talking up Vital all season but you can have your moment.

Exactly. You talk him up when we win. You say we all suck and Ollie should be fired when we lose. That was my first post in this thread. You only wasted about three minutes after our win to prove me right. Good stuff...
