The lack of pride is simply astounding.

Ollie isn't much for Xs and Os, but if he can't even get guys to play hard for him, what does he bring to the table?

Worst defensive UConn team in last 30 years. Not looking to pile on, but this is on KO.

 

[Walker11]

We missed with a Shaka Smart opening.

Talk about living in a bubble.

 

[Dibbie]

I don't like that Brooks, plays like a punk

Talk about living in a bubble.

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.

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

Texas has lost two straight. Not like Shaka has blown anyone away the past 4 years

Not my point. Shaka looks to be a great recruiter whose team has underperformed. Sounds familiar?

Fine. Shaka preaches defense though. There teams are at least prepared.

Shaka is overrated, he might even be a worse offensive coach than Ollie.

 

[Stainmaster]

Why couldn't Brimah have done this against ranked teams last year?

Shaka's resume doesn't really match his reputation IMO.

 

[superjohn]

Why can't we ever get a call? Brimah gets bent over by the refs every single game.

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

I'm really gonna miss Brimah and purvis in the future. Gonna enjoy every second of them this year.

 

[BugsyCT]

Not done yet - down to single digits. Finding our game.

 

[Horatio]

Playing with passion now. Thanks

 

[Burnsbros23]

I'm not sure I'll miss them.... but I appreciate them.

I'm not gonna miss Brimah too much. Dude is single handedly ruining my blood pressure.

Back to back bad shots by our freshman

 

[superjohn]

We play great D three times in a row and give up 3 straight offensive rebounds.

 

[MexicoHusky]

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.

 

[MexicoHusky]

I was hoping to get it back to 10. Looks like it's going to be 11. I'll take it.

Not a lot of energy.

 

[UConnDan97]

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 us...

Jackson also. These are kids put in man's shoes quick.

 

[stephen Henry]

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.
