Could not get any sets running tonight. This team will struggle with physicality. I still like us ooc in March like last year

 

[ValleyGuy]

That was AAC UConn tonight

Not surprised we lost; surprised at the margin.

BE teams are 4-0 at home so far. Anyone saying we were going 17-3 or 18-2 in conference play needs a reality check. 15-5 is our ceiling.

Feels worse than any of the losses last year

It's right up there with the St John's game in Hartford last year.

 

[uconnfan68]

I screwed up, and didn’t think this started until 8:30. I’m so glad I missed most of it.

Was this Danny’s NIL contribution to SH?

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

I wonder if Clingan is out if we’d start going to Singare.

 

[tykurez]

Garbage performance. Looked completely unprepared and deserved that. Another conference opener loss good grief.

I still long for that 1999 style 2 loss record

 

[Mike Honcho]

Do you remember last January?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Terrible defense, terrible refs, Dons injury. Burn the tape and move on.

 

[stickybuddy]

St. John’s last year was way worse.

You’re probably right

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Holloway is an excellent coach by the way. They really won shooting 8 threes.

 

[BigTenFan]

I think it was just one of those games where the wheels fell off. If Clingan comes back healthy - I think team is fine.
I do like Shaheen Holloway. Good coach who has his team well prepared

 

[Kitaman]

Most aggressive team won. SH kept attacking and attacking. Not many 3s from them by the way.

This is a typical BE road loss, time to move on.

Big East road games will not be easy except for the very bottom of the league. Boeheim jinxed the Huskies today calling them the best team in the country.

Get ready for all the trolls to come in after the loss. It's what they do.

That being said... it's clear we've had a problem with this type of team for a long time. It's our achilles heal. It's no coincidence that Richmond goes off on us every year like clockwork. We don't need to play a zone to defend (though many coaches would), but we do need to step off non-shooters and guard the PnR differently. Minimize switches on the smaller guards, for example. We get overly concerned with 3s at times instead of responding to the opponent in front of us.

Most importantly: let's hope Clingan is healthy.

 

[SYF75]

jesus, we lost to them last year, relax

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Very lethargic performance, with curious offense and defense. Where was all the off-ball action we saw in the run-up to this game? How did we continue to get beat on drible drive and not adjust?

We will have a lot of work to do getting ready for St. John’s and Soriano if Clingan can’t go.

 

[husky429]

I'm also sick of the "they wanted it more!" or "they had more toughness!" crap.

Every player on the floor was tough. Every player on the floor wanted to win. We just didn't play the right way TO win. That was a failure of preparation by the staff and players alike.

Onto the next one. The Big East isn't supposed to be easy.

 

[shizzle787]

We are now 6-7 on the road the last two seasons.

 

[Scoe]

A trash performance all the way around, we should just forfeit BE openers.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

It had to happen.

In nature, get too fat and happy (or complacent), and you're going to wind up on the menu next.

In the spirit of learning from setbacks, maybe we can start some real team building now. That's what champions would do.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Turning point was the great Castle block on Davis, Hall gets the 50/50 ball, basket and 2nd on Clingan

 

[XLCenterFan]

Felt like PC game last year all over again. The BE is real. Let’s not harp on this. We know you can take a few L’s on the road in the BE.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Duck, here comes the riff raff.
