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.
Expand ...
Yeah he never looks to drive or try to post up which I think he can do. We need him to step up offensively as we are challenged when not making our outside shots.

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?

His progression as a shooter is real. I believe he needs a longer leash to play through mistakes. I still think he’s gonna be really good for us

Meh.

The sophomores aren’t very good - like, really, not very good. We have one spot up shooter in the bunch and none of them can do anything else.

If they’re keeping these freshmen on the bench, we need to question why we’re recruiting a half dozen players who can’t play.

The lack of development in the sophomores, point guard depth issues after swinging and missing on Mahaney/Nowell, and over-reliance on Samson are the roster construction issues that keep coming up in these losses.

I don't this some people understand how bad of a loss this was. We are trending to be a bubble team. Positive thoughts and past seasons will not save this team.

Not making the tournament to defend our titles is a complete failure by the team and coaches.
Expand ...
This loss sucks no doubt but we are not a bubble team yet. The bubble is horrible as usual this year. If UNC is a bubble team right now, we are comfortably in. Winning at Creighton was huge in hindsight
 
Question. Did struggling Seton Hall play like a team good enough to be top 25.

Yes. Uconn is not great this year, but are no hirrible either. Obviously, Seton Hall won this game for a reason.

Was it particular match ups?

Defensive game plan?

Offensive game plan?

Or was Seton Hall just lucky tonight?

Hurley has found one truly great PG, two decent ones and then not much of anything else. It's a bit concerning.

Nah, some of those late KO teams got absolutely shelled and were just going through the motions.

They were losing to teams with similar or better talent levels and with a poor coaching staff, this 2024-2025 team has no business losing to that SH team, they are awful. It's not even like SH played above their level or out of their minds, they had 50 points with a minute left in regulation.

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 the

The stank from today, will be with us for quite some time.

That was an unreal nightmare of a loss - the careless missteps, the lack of discipline and the utter boneheadness of the way we lost is not something to be swept aside, nor should it.
 
Drfla said:
We got over the top great performances from Ball then McNeeley. Without that we lose both games.
Expand ...
That's the problem. We need stellar play from one of them to compete against better teams, and if not then we cannot make mistakes and play solid defense against the meh teams.

Absolutely not, you gotta watch more CBB
 
What a mess. What Hurley does with this fragile squad crumbling under expectations is a whole different coaching challenge. Composure comes from the top. That plus getting the ball inbounds…
 
Brochacho said:
Brendan Adams, Jalen Gaffney, Rahsool Diggins, Stephon Castle, Ahmad Nowell. I doubt its Hurley nailing him to the bench - he just can't recruit a PG out of HS.
Expand ...

Only two of the guys on this list are PGs orher than Nowell. And they both transferred bc they suck.

Liam singlehandedly won the last game. Instead of all the limelight being on Liam coach decided to get into it with the few remaining Creighton fans.

I don't mind being cocky but he's taking it to horses arse levels and he doesn't have the team to back it up. He had a confident swagger last season because he had a bunch of NBA players and uniquely savvy kids who could blow everyone out. Now his mouth is writing checks...

Have a damn inbounds play, have a damn play to throw it into your big for a bucket when the other team doesn't have any bigs. Play your most talented big.

I love the guy but he needs to be humbled. We're seeing someone who is too arrogant and too stubborn right now.
Expand ...
The issue when you’re constantly villainizing yourself, is you elicit the opponents best game and look like horses @ss when you get beat by bad teams. This while all other fans rejoice.

Sure he can play the villain and it’s good tv, but it does no good in helping his kids chances to win, which is what matters. After a nightmarish loss like this, he needs to just learn to shut his trap. Tristen Newton isn’t walking through the door.

This season has been so much drama.

For his 2nd uear Stewart has made great strides in his offensive part of the game and has shown some spurts of good defense in some games. He does get lost on D. In the off season if he focuses on a better ball handle and defensive.positioning. He can be very special. He's athletic

The Miami loss is still clear in my head and I never thought I'd see something that bad from UConn. This was 10x worse. Up by 4 at 76-72 with 8 seconds left and Miami gets a layup. 76-74 with 4 seconds left and Shamon Tooles hurries a quick inbounds pass. Darius Rice intercepts and knocks down a 3 at the buzzer. Game over 77-76. Today we took our time to inbounds and had to use timeouts. Either way, failure. Inexcusable.

Neither team deserved the win today. There is a reason teams rarely win when down by 5-7 points in the closing seconds. They have to foul. SHU fouled but no calls were made. That allowed SHU to steal this game. The silver lining is that we are not feeling a false sense of relief after pulling out a garbage win. We are feeling the pain of watching a train wreck for 2+ hours, as well we should.

Give me a break. Stop whining about the officiating. This is on Hurley's lack of a proper in-bound play.

Give me a break. Stop whining about Hurley. This is all on you for not being smart enough to be the UConn coach, make tons of money, and win the game.

Ball, Stewart and maybe Reed. I’d like to see Stewart and Reed with one more year of development. I think we see Mullins and Reibe early. I think a stud at the guard spot changes everything.

Stewart? No.
