Our veteran backcourt

[superjohn]

Yikes.

 

[Peacefrog]

Not so veteran right now. Looks like Hurley is handing the keys to Gaffney for late game situations. Can't say its any better yet but we're playing for the future at this point.

veteran front court aint much better

 

[Tenspro2002]

Yup, time for some tough love for our seniors. These guys had their chance, they're not getting it done, and we need to develop the generation that will move beyond the losing habits.

 

[80shusky]

Even without Polley it doesn't seem like this team should be *this* bad. Yet, here we are.

 

[TRest]

It’s time

 

[jibsey]

There’s no sense in not letting the kids get max time

 

[Lynyrd]

I've tried not to pile on but you cannot go 5-22 from the field and 1-13 fr 3pt range ... ouch

 

[jibsey]

1-13 from 3?

They are not that bad. Our record hlwever is and at the end of the day, I guess that's what matters. They struggle scoring and finishing games but they are not getting hammered like they have in the past. We are at least competitive.

It’s a similar stat line with those two against every “good” team we play

 

[Rico444]

They weren't pretty. It's definitely time to go with the kids the rest of the way, even if the results are the same. At least they will develop.

Indeed. I think Dan’s patience has run out.

Team was carried by the freshman and sophomores and almost beat a team that just knocked off the #20 team by 40. Futures bright

I’d say it was MUCH better. The young team got us back in the game. That is not only our future, if is our present. Sorry to Josh and Al, but we saw our best 5 man unit on the floor in the second half today. Time to go w it.

 

[McLovin]

Although the young guys will make their share of mistakes, the energy, athleticism and quickness is way more fun to watch that 25 seconds of Gilbert and Vital dribbling the ball 30 feet from the hoop.

I’m all for seeing the gaff/bouk/Adams/Sid/Akok lineup get extended run for the rest of the year regardless of what the W/L outcome.

we ain’t winning with the seniors and it ain’t fun to watch with them either. At least let us see our future blossom.

 

[Candyman]

CV and AG are role players and should be treated as so. That three when we were up 3 with 2:15 left is why I am not a Vital fan. Led to. Three for them and rest is history.

 

[AdamaNation]

What is the fate if we lose out? Serious question. Yes drama is involved because this is a while new version of bad. Being picked 4-6 preseason to be dead last has really got to start getting some fires burning. I get the talent issue. I get the “loser” mentality all though they play great defense. But Adams leaving was in fact massive. But with the addition of all else and “growth” of Carlton there is absolutely no way we should be here. None!!!!just sick of this. I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship and can’t let go. It to make light if that. Please either push me off or pull me back from the cliff. FYI. We don’t want to go OT. Are we like 0-5?

Carlton and whaley, pick your poison, they are both jeckyl and hide

Not getting hammered any more. That’s what UConn basketball has become?

 

[CTBasketball]

It appears the switch has been made.

Not talking about this year. Indeed AG and Vital still have to play too this season.

 

[AdamaNation]

Which must be as disheartening as getting blown out. Kids at this level want wins as much as us fans. Most of them don’t know this feeling coming from any high school or aau league. They are D1 ballers.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

I liked what I saw from Gaffney and Adams today. They have to play more. Bouknight needs to learn not to foul, on both ends of the floor. But he has to play. Wilson had his moments, still made some bad decisions. If Vital isn't hitting 3's he really hurts you on the offensive end of the floor, his rebounding and intensity notwithstanding. Gilbert? I don't know what to say. Whaley and Carlton did nothing, particularly defensively. Akok is thin, but so long and athletic that he bothers the opposing 5 like the others can't.

 

[donyell34]

Being competitive is about all we can hope for. Time to go with the young guys the rest of the way.
