What a home job.

What? Were the rims were 10 feet 6 inches? We shot 3 of 21 from 3 and 54% from FT.

We should have won that game by 15.

Polley and Hawkins missed many open shots. I don’t think either hit a 3. I’m fine with that because it probably won’t happen again.

But everything else was pathetic. The amount of panic that Hurley and our team display in tight games is very concerning and the craziness becomes predictable.

Besides #12 we had better talent at every position. Inexcusable.

Jackson wasn't bad.

did we watch the same game? he had a good first 10 minutes and that was about it.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

What a home job.

Man, no one in stripes made this team shoot 3-23 from beyond the arc.

This year, flopping is a warning and then a technical. However, when guys are lowering their shoulder and repeatedly blasting the defender back as happened multiple times tonight, what is a defender to do if the ref won't blow the whistle.
Also, I love how hand checking is back to being completely legal.

Our coach tightens up in close games, it's a recurring theme. They were on a run and rolling and then he takes Cole out. Timeout under 8 minutes up 4 and he leaves Cole on the bench. WVU ties it up in an instant. RJ comes back in and is ice cold. I love Hurley as our program builder, I really dislike him in close games. We couldn't hit anything but we also don't run anything. That's a bad loss.

We never had 9 starters....our great depth was a DH myth.

We have maybe 5 starters and some limited role players....without Martin & Sanogo we are a middling team.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Not expected to win this road game down 2 starters but we did blow it.

This game was completely winnable without them. We couldn't shoot the ball for the life of us

 

[WhereistheDove?]

He had some good plays and some truly mind-boggling ones. Any time he tries to drive the ball, I feel 100% confident he’s going to cough it up.

Whaley and Cole were the only ones mentally ready for this game. Everyone else was clueless all night.

That pretty much sums up the whole god damn game. Tyler Polley brought it, well, besides the whole making shots thing. Besides that, a whole lot of garbage.

 

[UConnSwag11]

There a reason why we were +2.5. If we have Martin and sanogo were double digit favorites

Only 1 way though.

Such a lousy final 4 minutes. Can’t buy a bucket.

Outside of athleticism, I can’t tell why Jackson is allowed to touch the ball.

 

[TeasedDonut]

We had a chance to run away with the game with 9 min left. Up 5, Polley misses wide open three then Gaffney throws a full court pass out of bounds.

 

[navery12]

That was pretty tough to watch. A lot to clean up, hopefully with Martin back for the next game

 

[storrsroars]

That shooting performance was embarrassing.

The only thing that could've been worse would be if they did it while wearing K-State's unis. Did they borrow those from the volleyball team?

 

[rip7774]

You can’t play basketball afraid. But there was no one willing to attack other than Cole for the most part.

Too many guys don’t pressure the opposition, they let the opposition pressure them.

 

[UConnJim]

Akok 2 points in 32 minutes. Not strong enough. Hawkins 2 points in 26 minutes. 3-23 from 3. Freshmen Hawkins and Johnson not ready yet.

 

[UCfor3]

Polley and Hawkins being on 1 in 3 games is going to make this season infuriating. Refs stink too

1 in 3 for Polley? I wish.

 

[UConnSwag11]

This is how I expected the game to go. I did think we could win by a couple but without sanogo and Martin playing at WV we weren’t going to win by 10.

People get too content by beating teams in 300+ rankings. We’re a very good team at full strength.

 

[JMick]

did the coach shoot under 15% from three? Hurley in-game coaching leaves a lot to be desired but this wasn't on him.
