Can he just go 2-4 every once in a while? It feels like he goes a couple games where he misses everything and then has a game where he makes everything.It says Polley was only 0-4 from three but it felt like 0-10. Need him to find it before the end of the year.
This is my first time seeing WVU and from what I saw they are a horrid team. We beat that team 10+ with Sanogo and MartinEvery loss is a bad loss to the boneyard. I’ve heard WV stinks…they’re 8-1. They don’t stink. We were down 2 of our top 3 best players. And had it not been for an uncharacteristic shooting night(yes uncharacteristic for this squad, despite the we can’t shoot a lick narrative) we win. Tough loss. Move on.
I’m sorry, you must have missed the game ans how ugly WVU’s offense was. Somehow ours was even uglier. This is a bad bad loss.Chill out dude! Two starters out and playing rhe first true away game in a hostile environment. You need to take some valium. Sure I was disappointed in the loss but I didn't think it was the coaches fault. WvU is not a pushover.
They aren’t “horrid”. And I agree. But that’s the quintessential statement right there, “with Sanogo and Martin”. Without them I don’t understand how this loss is “shattering” as someone put it lmao. The boneyard at its finestThis is my first time seeing WVU and from what I saw they are a horrid team. We beat that team 10+ with Sanogo and Martin

We would’ve won with Sanogo and Martin.The “we would’ve won with Sanogo and/or Martin” narrative needs to stop. Who knows how a game shakes out, you play with who you have. They have to figure out how to close these games, I feel like a broken record harping on it. Great example: up 3 with under 4:00 min to go. Hawkins guarding full court, continues to swipe at the ball, then gets a foul. Absolutely under no circumstances can you foul there. Then WVU hits 1/2, gets an offensive rebound and makes a basket, tie game. It’s the little things like that, that add up. UConns inability to close these games is concerning. They’ll have to figure out a way to get some bigger leads late into the game, tough to have confidence they can pull out tied games late after what we’ve seen.
you must not have watched the game and how atrocious WVU’s offense is. They will be lucky to win 6 games in conference play.It’s not a bad bad loss
He quietly had 10 rebounds which was significantly more than anyone else. Don't remember him turning it over. Altered shots by keeping guys from driving to the hole. Take a look at the box score on ESPN. I think he's coming along fine with the minutes he's played. That place was a real pit. They were so loud (and the PA system) I could hardly here the announcers. I think Akok at least didn't seem rattled like a lot of our players. He did miss a bunny at the end of the game. But that was the only thing I saw that was poor.Teams and players will have bad shooting nights. It happens. Most people understand.
Akok repeatedly being out of possession and not being able to put his body on an opposing rebounder is inexcusable. I've loved his potential since he arrived, but he can't simply be a shot blocking finesse player.
I watched the game with context. It wasn’t a bad loss by any metric or reasonable, objective eye.you must not have watched the game and how atrocious WVU’s offense is. They will be lucky to win 6 games in conference play.
It was a bad loss.
Got lucky. We're not a good shooting teamHere's what I don't understand:
WVU: 3-22 13.6%
MSU: 2-16 12.5%
Auburn: 15-26 57.7%
Auburn has a tough D. What did our guys do differently that night to shoot 3s so well?

What’s the context? That our offense was worse than theirs? Somehow?I watched the game with context. It wasn’t a bad loss by any metric or reasonable, objective eye.
Did Akok play? I must of missed it. Hawkins has a couple of nice shots, but a turnover machine. He is young and it hasn't sunk in yet. Not just this game but past ones. We were spoiled with Bouk. I agree with some Hurley has a long leash. JC would of yanked a player then meet him at half court while escorting him off while yelling in his ear.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.
How many of those 3s were absolutely wide open? Many of them. I don't think it's unrealistic to expect them to hit at least 40% of those wide open ones. This is high D1 college basketball.It's a problem when our shooters can't shoot and our "3 point specialist" can't make open 3s consistently.
So is Auburn. The context is being without 2 of your 3 best players. Lmaoo. You’re creeping up very high on my block-o-meterWhat’s the context? That our offense was worse than theirs? Somehow?
Bad news: St. Bon is much better than WVU.
Take Polley out and it's still 9-17;Polley had his one good game per year
