Stop Forcing It to Carlton & Put Akok Back In

[WestHartHusk]

There, I fixed it.

Freshman with two fouls don't go back in the game. Bad move.

It's obvious Akok is a defensive game changer for us. We'll go on a run to start the second half.

Really bad shot selection and passing the last 5 minutes...

He averages 2 fouls per 40 min played.

 

[UConn990411]

This game changed when these clown refs called a phantom foul on Akok.

But it’s infuriating that Vital can be as careless with the basketball as he was in that half without ever being held accountable.

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

I don't understand how we get mugged nearly every time we come off a screen but we touch a player with one hand and it's called a foul

 

[Huskyforlife]

We need akoks floor spacing and defense. Bouk has to start scoring, Gilbert and vital should just stop.

 

[husky429]

He averages 2 fouls per 40 min played.

And he's playing one of the best teams in America at drawing fouls. And already has two today. What he did last week is irrelevant.

Agree on Bouk. He needs to be a presence or we're not pulling this one out.

 

[Conquistador]

When is another UConn player going to tell Vital to stop with the dumb bleeping plays??!!

Vital needs to be taken out for that crap. Put him back in two minutes later but teach the dude he can’t keep doing that

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

It's a good matchup

It hasn't happened all season why would it start now? Posted that he was getting away with murder in the first game vs Sacred Heart. Real weakness by Hurley. He faces no consequences for his bad ways. Killed us.

 

[Fan4ever]

Indiana's defense can adjust against us very effectively.

It’s not irrelevant. Statistical averages are not meaningless.

 

[YoungFree]

18-3 run is despicable but at least we are only down 5. The game is still ours for the taking.

Of course. But it was very much the right call to keep him out of the game. He had two fouls in 12 minutes today--that matters more.

Vital not playing like an experienced senior. This was a time for Hurly to pull him. Even if it's for a possession, pull him and send him a message because he's not getting it.

Also, Carlton is having a decent game, but anyone else question if he knows how to play with a good penetrator like Bouknight. It seems just like some space is clearing and JB is about to start his drive Carlton goes right into his lane and clogs it up.

 

[Old school]

9 turnovers from Vital and Carlton.
started hoisting up 3s when having great success going inside to Carlton.
lets hope for a better 2nd half with more playing time from Akok and Gilbert.
need Bouk to show up.

 

[FatHank]

When we were up 10 we should have throttled it and made it 15 or 20. IU's D started to disrupt us causing us to go cold. We made bonehead plays and turned the ball over. We still look like we can't run a set offense and looked at very forced shots. Akok needs to stay in the game and Bouk needs a bucket to warm up and start balling it.

Hopefully Hurley spun heads in the locker room and we come out firing in stead of playing with out heads in our a$#.

We can take this game.

 

[Shine33]

Sid in for Akok as backup replacement like I wanted to see. And blocked a shot immediately. Vital taken out right after forced bad shot. Hurley making good changes imo
