How did it take KO 5.25 games to realize putting Vance and Jalen in a pick n roll would work well? Christ. It's amazing; when we screen we get good looks
Smart would have easily come to UConn when JC retired. He turned down the Illinois job a year before, many saying in hopes JC may retire that next year. JC stubbornness was the only reason Shaka isn't our coach right now.

Not my point. Shaka looks to be a great recruiter whose team has underperformed. Sounds familiar?
Shaka is overrated, he might even be a worse offensive coach than Ollie.Smart would have easily come to UConn when JC retired. He turned down the Illinois job a year before, many saying in hopes JC may retire that next year. JC stubbornness was the only reason Shaka isn't our coach right now.

I'm really gonna miss Brimah and purvis in the future. Gonna enjoy every second of them this year.
Jackson also. These are kids put in man's shoes quick.Vital is not great at this point in his career, but it looks like he's trying. I can't always say the same for everyone else.
Defense tightened up over the last 10 minutes, and the team finished with good energy. It's so tough to come back from these gigantic holes we put ourselves in, but I'm glad we're showing some real heart.
And I swear, if I get into an elevator with these refs, only one person is coming out. Walton might be tripping on LSD, but even he can see they are fn us...
Would love to see an Ollie coached team come out with some swagger starting from the tip off. Really tired of the team starting every game with no energy and utterly befuddled on both offense and defense.
But I am really fed up with the refs crapping all over UCONN players without Ollie reacting. If this program is going to turn itself around then Ollie needs to show some toughness and heart in support of his team.

Not impressed unless we can see you arguing with a ref court side at MSG...our ref arguing standards are high.I almost got kicked out the first game for giving the one old bastard a few words and gestures
he should push it with the refs and learn to slack off just before he gets teed up. Refs walk all over his players and he should not accept that so quietly. His mentor didn't.And when he gets T'ed up, I'll hear that it was the reason we lost, like someone had posted in the Oklahoma State thread...![]()

Another slow start to a half? How strange.
No, but when you start every single half slow, it's fair to question it.Can a second half start be blamed on game prep? Sometimes, players have to sack the fk up and stay aggressive. Sometimes, players have to own the way they play...
your right this far down, but he never does it and that lack of action is hurting his team. He should act like a coach and show some leadership from the sidelines.His mentor also got t'ed up plenty, too. Sometimes, you need that. But not down double digits fighting back into the game...
