Sad!

 

[blkknight1]

20+ turnovers for the second game in a row.

 

[NickDanger]

62 points

Due to having more turnovers than field goals

 

[Stinger92860]

Another winnable game given away.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

47 turnovers in two games, if my math is right.

The Alex Karaban 2024-2025 experience has not been a fun one, I'm off of it at this point

 

[navery12]

Hard to put the blame on any single player tonight. 36 points in 31 minutes is a team effort (or lack thereof)

 

[TedStriker]

You can’t consistently win games turnover the ball over like that. Wtf. Just disappointing. Credit to St John’s and their D. The last 30 minutes was completely different than the first 10. Crappy way to get the weekend started.

 

[That Guy]

Insane amount of turnovers, Karaban 1-6 to finish with 3 pts. I can't even count the # of games already this season where he's scored less than 10 pts.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Turnovers lose games. Who knew.

 

[USNavyDog]

Mental toughness. That was the difference in this game.

 

[Brochacho]

Hard to win when you play terrible. Biggest game of the year and Karaban gave us 3/3/3.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

GREAT first 8 minutes.

AK hasn’t been the same since missing the two free throws vs Nova.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Welp.

No production from Karaban, Diarra, Ross or Mahaney.

Ball and Stewart played 10 minutes.

Only McNeeley and Reed showed up last 30 minutes.

Results predictable.

 

[Tdaley]

Hard to beat good teams with our guard play.

 

[Mister P]

A second half of lost or ineffective offensive possessions.
To many sets starting out high with under 8 seconds left on the shot.
Disappointing.

 

[REB1094]

St. John’s defense vs UConn’s offense

St. John’s was tougher so they win

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Totally spit the bit in the 2nd half. Ridiculous number of unforced TOs.

Karaban unfortunately a ghost all game. Stewart another hot start then vanished like a fart in the wind.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Alex has lost a ton of money. And I hate that. This all sucks.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

The Alex Karaban 2024-2025 experience has not been a fun one, I'm off of it at this point

4-30 from 3 over the last 6 games... feel bad for him but he's been a complete no show when we really need him

 

[Stinger92860]

GREAT first 8 minutes.

AK hasn’t been the same since missing the two free throws vs Nova.

This is true

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Tough watch tonight.

 

[blkknight1]

I know Hass is hurt and battling but critical turnovers at critical times killed us tonight

 

[TRest]

Too many guys declining to shoot when ope, even if briefly. Foul shooting an anomaly I hope. We have 1/2 a point guard on the roster right now.

 

[ATLDYKA]

This lose is on Hurley. You cannot continue to be so stubborn that you play your vets so much when they are giving you nothing. Why did AK play the entire second half and Stewart was no where to be found. You also had to foul there with only a 7 second difference in clock. They left Richmond on the floor and they should have fouled him. Even if they got the stop, the offense was struggling so bad, they would have struggled to get a shot off in time.

 

[Brochacho]

Only 2 players really showed up in Reed and McNeeley. Felt bad for Diarra on one leg. Karaban has to sit when he is playing that awful and Stewart needs more minutes. Stewart is the future and Karaban is the past. Karaban was great when he was a fifth option but as 2nd or 3rd option he doesn't work with lis limited mobility and dribbling. Play Stewart!

Hyper efficient role player that got to start next to 4 NBA players in his first two seasons. This year? Not so much. And it shows. Great piece when you’re good. Tough watch when he’s a focal point.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Great to see Liam back and knocking the rust off. Clearly the biggest two issues right now are a) AK needs to find his game quick, and b) Diarra needs to get healthier.

This is a top ten team if we can get them back playing well.

 

[Husky Alien]

Why no Stewart in 2nd half?

 

[uconntoatl]

Starry levying fines for turnovers

Karaban has regressed

Predictable perimeter passing
