Pummel the Pirates Game Thread

[uchusky32]

A lot of bad things are happening in this game but...

Can anyone remember a smoother J than Larrier's since Rip Hamilton? Maybe Rudy Gay?

EDIT: LOL, 5 seconds later, air ball

When it goes in so smooth. But...

I really miss the Boatright Jeff Adrien types. This team has no one with any grit whatsoever.

A couple guys they just aren’t stars.... Whaley and Williams care

 

[tiger8mush]

Too late. I'm already embarrassed you're a UConn fan...

he's not a UConn fan, he's a BC troll, I believe.

 

[RipCity]

Can’t wait to have a basketball coach instead of a motivational speaker leading this team.

 

[noeynox]

There is zero accountability for anything. I know It's hard to believe but it's even more of a mess off the court.

That would explain a lot. It's starting to resemble Josh Pastner style of open gym just dump out the balls. EDU, runs better offensive sets that get guys open looks. The times they penetrate and look for the big guys they look serviceable.

 

[gtcam]

nice play out of TO

 

[mauconnfan]

Nice play out of the TO

I know there’s a lot of people here who don’t watch the NBA. I happen to love it and when you watch, I think you get a much better perspective of what type of player gets drafted in the first round.

Very true.

 

[UConnDan97]

Nice stuff from Larrier...

 

[BugsyCT]

Back to back good plays by TL.

 

[mauconnfan]

Capital N lol

 

[Tuna]

Yeah for sure, but you believing Larrier could work himself into the first round with another year at uconn is fall out of your chair onto the floor and rolling over funny. Stick to breaking down our OL or something.

The kid missed a whole year. You don't think that was a setback?

 

[WestHartHusk]

Nothing grab a spot on superjohns circle enjoy

It's like KO is your grammar coach.

 

[noeynox]

I was a 'star' and still was publicly disciplined by my coach.

Some of these bad shots should get guys yanked immediately.

 

[UConnJim]

We are shooting 12.5% from 3.

 

[mauconnfan]

Larrier excellent on O and played good D guy made a shot

 

[UConnDan97]

Nah, don't worry about it. He's not a UConn fan...

 

[upstater]

Lari looks like complete clutz with ball in open court

and now he makes a spectacular move for the bucket.

I jinxed him, you unjinxed him

 

[Kitaman]

I will say Larrier does not gloat when scoring. I like that especially since he scores a lot.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

My wife is downstairs and she doesn't even know I'm watching the game. That's how much things have changed with UConn bball.

I don't remotely like your comment, but sadly it prompted a reluctant chuckle.

 

[UConnDan97]

We are shooting 12.5% from 3.

I hate to say that we miss Vance, but we certainly miss someone who can be a reliable 3 point shooter...

 

[mauconnfan]

Anderson has to help there, Diarra did ok but can’t ask him to guard from top of the key

 

[jorge34]

Some of these bad shots should get guys yanked immediately.

While I agree, I wonder if coaches are now reluctant to do so with this snowflake generation. Tough love may not work

 

[Doctor Hoop]

I have no idea what Polley did to get so deep in the doghouse, but IMHO he needs some time. Getting lost on defense? If so, he ain’t the only one. He’s got a nice outside shot that would get better with more reps, and he’s not getting them.

 

[superjohn]

Sometimes you just have to laugh.

 

[Kitaman]

Can we ever win easily?

 

[UConnJim]

Wow, we might lose

 

[UconnFanNVa]

lol we like to make things interesting.

He played poorly in every facet of the game.

Nope.
