So, Tulsa?

[Ts5034]

Tulsa is quietly the second place team in the AAC coming off that blow out win vs Memphis. They have also beaten Houston. We have another tough one ahead of us. Tulsa is a veteran team, but I think its time we win one of these.

Our offense needs to come back to life...

We are so due to hit some shots. I still remember that 47-42 AACT game like it was yesterday. Gonna need to win another rock fest.

I remember when most posters here would be making fun of Tulsa. Now they are likely making fun of UConn!

 

[UconnFanDC]

Frank Heath has definitely improved as a coach. Beats Uconn and other top AAC teams often and has never had the so called top 100 recruits.

We're winning. Classic trap game for Tulsa.

 

[BNich]

Anyone going to the game? Just bought myself a ticket. Looking forward to it!

We're definitely making fun of somebody and they don't realize it yet

The Rockville Rocket predicted that we would run into trouble twenty four hours from Tulsa.

"Rockville Rocket" Who?

UConn can win, but must avoid mistakes and make plays down the stretch. I am happy this is a home game and not on the road.

Mmmm..., I do believe one has to be of a certain age to get this post, but I'll bite and give a Like for nostalgia sake....(uconnbill, Gene Pitney-"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "Town Without Pity," "It Hurts to Be In Love", and, "Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa...." and Many more, also the writer of Ricky Nelson's smash hit,"Hello Marylou". Powerhouse singer with great range.

Some guy in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who lived in Rockville, CT

Don’t think so. We have played too many quality teams down to the wire for them to come in sleeping.

I'm embarrassed to be in the company of people of (or who at least have spent time in) this state who are unfamiliar with Gene Pitney. I was never his biggest fan, but appreciate his talent. H also recorded Phil Spector's first Wall of Sound effort. ("Every Breath I Take").
Don't tell me you guys have never heard of Phil Spector, either.

love this , Now if we had the Connecticut Rocket we would be a lock

 

[alphasigko]

Unless they get their shooting together, the results will be the same.

Sure have heard of him. Spector owned one of the six original Cobra Daytona Coupes........but was infamous for more disturbing reasons.

Good one. One of the best posts I have seen recently.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I think we will win today. We are among the most unlucky teams in college basketball per the metrics. We are due to have some shots fall for a change and bounces come our way. Time for some home cooking.

 

[Caronimo]

It is not going to come back to life. This team is horrible. I know it can’t be just coaching, but they are next level bad. They are confused offensively and constantly overmatched by lesser talented, better coached players.

We just don’t have any offensive difference makers. Almost impossible to find a lineup that clicks when you don’t have enough offensive talent. I think Bouk will develop into a great scorer, akok will be good, Gaffney should develop a nice offensive game, adams will be a good bench guy.... everyone’s just too inconsistent etc. and Polley was a big loss.

Did I mention how bad Carlton is?

We travel often with friends who went to Rockville High with Pitney. They say he was a very good student and a good guy. He was popular in Europe for years after he faded in the US but I think always lived in CT, maybe the Enfield-Somers area.

Tulsa came out in the second half going to the hoop, UConn chucking up shots they can’t hit. They’ve learned nothing. Can’t wait for certain guards to leave.

Vital can’t score today, but they would already be down 15 if not for his d.

Team erased a 9 point deficit with CV and AG on the pine

He was also a UConn student, studying (if memory serves) Electrical Engineering, when his music career started to break open, and he left school.
