Round Two

[gsmooth]

11 points at the under-4. The fewer points NMSU scores, the more embarrassed I am about the good guys’ performance Thursday.

This sentiment is similar to the comment I made just above yours

 

[WestCoastHusky]

How the hell did we lose to NMST? No one gonna convince me that we can't play D like Arkansas.

We should be in this game.

This game is very humbling from the perspective of a UConn fan

You mean Arkansas isn’t playing like Musselman told them to be scared to death of NMSU?

Shocking.

 

[SwingDog]

Sometimes I like to see the team that beat us, beat their next opponent(s), but that was completely off the table after Allen's classless late game antics and comments. I'm a Razorbacks fan tonight.

Arkansas is much better prepared and doesn’t look like they are sleepwalking

nMst really struggling on offense. Difficult to watch knowing UConn should be playing

I hope they win by 40

The other guys on NMST are missing completely wide open layups and shots. Those guys made >50% of their shots (and 70% of their 3s) against us.

It’s because Arkansas has them uneasy cause they are playing hard, giving a and forcing them to speed up and be out of sync

It’s easy to take this approach with Allen after they seen what he did against us. We didn’t have the luxury. No one here thought he was capable of dropping 37. The rest of the team was also 7-11 from 3. That’s a big sample size

 

[nelsonmuntz]

New Mexico State looks like they don’t belong in the tournament. Who did they beat in the first round to get here?

That is certainly true. UConn's loss was Arkansas's gain as far providing plenty to analyze in preparation for this game.

 

[Marbles90]

The rest of their team did beat us. Still should’ve played better and won though

Like we haven’t talked about Thursday’s debacle enough on these boards. Who cares about what they did to us at this point? I am pointing out how Arkansas came out with a plan to stop Allen. No way he is getting 37 tonight.

 

[Scoe]

UConn hockey in OT

 

[navery12]

Easy to double Allen when the other guys can't hit the broad side of a barn instead of shooting 70% from 3

 

[huskyjawz]

Musslemen just said that they are doing a bunch of different things in defending Allen, which is a bunch more different things than we tried.

Ok. They’re able to do that because the rest of the team is tossing up bricks lmao.

Defensively Arkansas is playing better than we did, but offensively can't really say that had a much better 1st half .. they missed a bunch of shots and bunnies too.

Arkansas is making the other guys hurrying their shots and being uncomfortable. They are missing a ton of shots they made against us. It is ridiculous this team beat us. I still can't get over the fact that we lost to this NMST team.

I’m watching the game. And NMST is missing a bunch of the same shots they made against us. They’ve regressed to their mean. We probably got their best game all season

 

[KingAG]

This is the chance you risk in the tournament. Getting a team on their best night. It wasn’t only Allen that beat us. The rest of their team played above the back of their player cards

It was an extreme outlier on offense, and we still should have beat them despite that.

He scored their final 15 points.

 

[CheshireCat]

F Providence. Their fans are insufferable and they try to force a rivalry between us even though they're a completely irrelevant program with barely any history of success. Hope they enjoy their 15 minutes of fame before they fall back into mediocrity. I want nothing more than to see them get blown out by Kansas. And yeah, I'm bitter as hell knowing that the minnows of the old BE are somehow better than us.

Classic. Just classic. Find a hobby.

 

[KingAG]

He scored their final 15 points.

Mostly free throws. And one was a heave from 42 feet. That’s about 9 of that 15. Context. Context. Context.

 

[SwingDog]

None of the TV analysts gave St. Peter's a shot against Murray St. but the Peacocks have had control of this game since halfway through the first half and are up 11 with 18 minutes to go in the second half.
