Seton Hall Post Game Thread

Great game by both teams, but another missed opportunity due to poor late game execution. Last possession, 26 secs left on the shot clock and not even able to get a shot off. Even without Cole on the floor, that is unacceptable. Smh

Simply not that good of a team. Surprised we were in it the way we were. Happy we were able to play given the covid situation. Maybe in the next year or two we could be a real contender again
 
Year 4 and talent is still an issue.

Seton Hall has two really good guards. We have one decent one.

That last set was certainly something.

I can’t believe we didn’t go get a guard this off-season.

Akok isn’t there defensively but Whaley isn’t good and got abused too. Difference is, Akok can shoot the ball.

Happy to watch basketball again.

Poor late-game execution by the guards and coaches. It was great to be in it to the end... this team is so much fun to watch. But we need to get over this hump. MSU, Providence, WVU, and now Seton Hall? Heck, even the Auburn and VCU wins we almost threw away late. The late-game breakdowns are shocking.

Part of the problem is not having a savvy backup guard. Gaffney just isn't ready for these moments mentally. But this has been a pattern for years now--some of that has to go back to coaching at a certain point.

An incredibly horrible possession. Zero movement until it was too late. It's really hard to imagine that is the best set they could come up with, even harder to actually watch it.
 
I think the score is a bit misleading. Hall outplayed us by a lot, especially in the second half.

We were just outcoached. At some point you think maybe try putting someone besides Tyrese on Kadary Richmond? Or double team him? What do I know

The answer is you play zone….

Richmond was never happening. Obviously not bringing in another PG is looking to be a big mistake, but Richmond to Seton Hall was a lock before he transferred from what everyone here has said
 
I thought Hurley coached a pretty good game with the exception of the ob play on the last possession of regulation and the second to last possession of ot.

With the long layoff, Hurley had good substitution patterns getting guys rest when needed. Played the hot hands and realized a couple of times when he tried to go small ball that it wasn’t working and got bigs back in.

Another game that could have been won.

The tried Gaffney, Polley, Tyrese, Jackson, and Whaley.

What did you watch?

I agree. Personnel wise they tried everything. I don’t love the idea of bringing a double to a point guard who could pass well out of it. The answer was probably zone.

Hopefully that is something that comes out of this game and they practice it.

But with Hurley’s track record and the lack of practice time between games. I doubt it.
 
We played a great game— man I wish we could’ve won. Nothing bad here folks— we played great with a great chance to win it. Hurley coached great players played great we simply didn’t win. That’s that . Great game I hope we sustain the play going forward. We will just get better

He let Richmond score 20 straight and did not double or force him out. He just tried different players on him. Once we forced him to pass he turned it over. Bad coaching.

Gonna end up with a cr@ppy seed and making it out of the first weekend is starting to feel like a longshot. Not where I expected UConn would be in year 4 of this thing.
 
Tough game…Richmond was unstoppable, you cant double team him when he has shooters to kick out to. Needed to get a shot on that last possession. We also go into foul trouble way too early in the 2nd half
