It also helps to be able to shoot and make point blank layups. Our non-shooting guards are too busy forcing passes. Our bigs can't make gimmies. How many field goals did we have in the second half???? Not many for sure.

Thats exactly it. When you turn it over 12 times, your bigs forget how to control the paint on both ends, you cant hit a gimmie, your conference player of the year refuses to dunk, you have your best scorer taking an abysmal deep 3 while up a possession, you dont have Clingan in to grab the most important rebound of the game, Sanogo refuses to foul up 1 with 5 seconds to play and allows a guy to get a layup….

But yeah the refs are the reason we lost. People need to look in the mirror and realize this team is underperforming in every aspect of the game. If you dont think thats the issue then nothing can be said to prove you wrong. We let every opponent play the style they want and we have not proven we have one iota of heart in the last 3 weeks

My stomach hurts.

I am looking forward to the football season at those guys play with the will to win even if they need a lot more talent.

I think the team managers can put away the Big East trophy poster

 

[rjnardi007]

This season is just about over. Sanogo cannot get a rebound to save his life. Unbelievable

I will bet my house he will never play in the NBA Has anybody Weber seen a guy with his size and strength never dunking the ball??
He is so soft and nobody on defense ever worries about him anymore

Another first round NCAA exit this year and things could get pretty interesting around these parts. That said, if UConn can channel its PK85 identity, they could head to the Final Four. If not, they could head to the NIT. Let's see which one they go with.

The coaches still feel like we don’t need to change anything. Someone tell me what AJ does for this team? He rebounds sometimes. He is not the passer every says he is. Cant defend anyone yet I keep hearing he can defend 4 positions. He can’t shoot or drive. He is a negative

Jackson is also a liability as an outside shooter.

I’m communicating in gifs and memes for the rest of the season, I’m sick of typing the same words over and over.

Can’t block a shot
Can’t pass
Can’t hold onto the ball
But the team is lost and that’s on Hurley

 

[Jaker]

Joey came in, created a 5 point swing in our favor with a dime to DC and then a 3, he was immediately taken out. He should have played more in that last 10 minutes.

How many bunny's were missed

Surely an ugly number of lay-up were badly missed. This easily could have been a 10+ point win. Just make a few layups!

 

[Marat]

You can kiss the top 25 goodbye.

Honestly I think they will play better without a number .

 

[HuskyFich]

It’s a chore for the guards to free themselves up. Getting the ball across half court is nerve wracking to watch. It seems like everyone easily locks us down. It also seems like we are getting bumped and jostled with no fouls being called. Probably the homer in me but it’s aggravating!

This 1000x

However, we don’t deserve fouls if we can’t get past the defender or keep the ball on a string. Body Fouls start being called as sloppy play real quick when it’s evident you can’t hold onto the ball.

 

[Hoophound]

Season Hall coach said it all during a late time out. “Don’t worry about them they got nothin.“

True story? That’s hilarious if so.

 

[rjnardi007]

Worst loss yet.

Try something different
Play the two bigs and a 2 3 zone
As man is killing them

 

[hayman522]

7-10 seed is looking very possible.

In the NIT

 

[Sonova]

I’m not trying to pick on anyone or beat a dead horse….but our starting point guard needed to back his way over half court tonight.

One of the truly great coaching mysteries in the last 5 years is the failure of Hurley to bring in a true point guard. We’re taking about a guy who should know a thing or two about the position. And he’s 0-UConn. Mind boggling.

 

[JMick]

You think during the game Luke Murray is thinking to himself with 3 minutes left in a one possession game… “what did Hurley plan for here?”

Luke was responsible for subs, Luke was responsible for defensive scheme changes. Luke was responsible for keeping Diarra on the bench too much tonight, and Clingan on the bench for the final defensive possession.

Hurley is responsible for the team, but not for the outcome tonight.

delusional. he's responsible for everything that happens with the program. He is the head coach. it's quite literally his responsibility.

Responsibility does not always equal blame

 

[storrsroars]

This is just a choke team, but there is a giant asterisk at the play where Newton should have gotten an and-1 and instead was called for one of the worst charges I've ever seen, a call that probably goes against no other team but us.

We would have been up 7-8 with 8 minutes left and all the momentum.

Yeah that totally sucked. Exactly what we've been wanting Newton to do, and he did it. And got screwed on that call.

 

[rjnardi007]

True story? That’s hilarious if so.

That’s so true
Hurley cut out their heart and without one the body is dead

 

[tentoes4rings]

The past 2 games we’ve had EIGHT or NINE turnovers from stepping out of bounds. Those are crucial unforced errors and need to stop immediately. I believe we had fight tonight.

 

[storrsroars]

Has Alleyne given up? Another no show performance.

Hasn't contributed much since conference play started. Had one sweet assist tonight, but damn, coaches should make the guy pay a fine every time he attempts a three.

 

[UConntLose]

It’s like they are over compensating for last year when they didn’t play people enough. Now they are playing too many people who don’t deserve minutes. Newton is too methodical for this team. He doesn’t get we are most dangerous in transition. Alleyne should be behind Romoglou. Diarra should only come in when we need a stop. Joey isn’t getting enough minutes. We need him and Hawkins to be on the court together as much as possible. The only way he is going to get out of the slump is by shooting more in live action. By getting him going, that frees up Hawkins.
