Then you must see we are trending to a bubble team and there is nothing showing us that we will be a impact team this year. This Seton Hall team is one of the worst teams in a major conference. You can't afford to lose to them. We have more problems than answers and I do watch the games with my 2 eyes. It is just that I'm not giving the benefit of the doubt based on past teas that were way more talented than this one.
Hurley needed to figure out Tarris is our best big this season if he wanted to have the type of team he wanted to have.
No doubt. I was looking for something to throw. I have turned off all college basketball media for the weekend to get through this. Good Thing we have some good UConn players to look forward to on All Star weekend.
Where have you seen that on Defense? He is atrocious covering pick n rolls.
That’s also on the team leaders the upperclassman to set the culture on the team to let them know what having that UConn on the jersey is all about. The coaches can only do so much. It coming from a fellow player has more impact. From what I understand AK isn’t really the type to do that not sure about Hass either.
No one is looking. You think they are looking.
As of now we’re in the tournament. I have no doubt this team will beat Nova and probably Marquette at home too. They get up for those games and those teams aren’t particularly good either. We’ll see.
Ok, we can agree to disagree. Not saying the refs were good, I’m just saying there were a lot of other reasons pointing to this loss.
He gets lost far too often. He also never gets the ball thrown into him on the block and he's being jerked around on playing time. Hurley decided Samson is the starter no matter what, he heaps effusive praise on Samson constantly despite his shortcomings and Tarris has largely become an afterthought. If he's in the game he's only eating by getting the ball himself on offensive rebounds.
Yep Ross is a level above what he should be playing and Stewart is just a jump shooter who only takes 3s. Neither is good defensively. I do disagree on Ball as he has started to drive more but he has to make those layups.
See if this weren’t an ongoing problem I would understand that but the inability to inbounds the ball has been an issue forever.
The offense is really not tailored to our strengths right now. I agree we need to get the ball inside more for easier shots. We only have one really creator with the ball and he is hobbled on one leg right now. Just a bunch of jump shooters who if shot is not falling we are in trouble. Though if Tarris doesn't play good D he is coming out. Hurley is like Calhoun. He doesn't really care what you bring on offense unless you are some great offensive player like Ray Allen but if you don't play D you aren't getting minutes.
My question is , is Stewart only a jump shooter because that’s what he’s being asked to do? I think there is more in there.
We expected Stewart to be really good this year. What have you seen this year that makes you think he will be “really” good next year?
Nah, some of those late KO teams got absolutely shelled and were just going through the motions.
I felt as angry as I did watching the Shamon Tooles/Darius Rice game in 2003.
If, that call on Ball was called (99% of the time it is) the tarnished word would not even be mentioned. I have been watching UConn since the Tony Hansen days and I've seen many bad losses in that time. This can be one of them. But to tarnish the brand, it does not. I guess our next recruiting class should just portal then.
