The Official Boar-Slaughtering Game Thread

[WlfdHusky]

We had the rebound and Diarra with the idiotic foul.

 

[Stainmaster]

you don't think the emails and complaints about Diaco had anything to do with his firing?

I think it's wishful thinking that that had anything more than a negligible impact.

Fans overestimate their importance because they have very high opinions of themselves.

 

[Hamms30]

Diarra gets undercut on a rebound traveling. Two pushed on rebounds by Arkansas and we get whistled for a foul when they drive to the hoop...

 

[Allbite]

I don't care. Gotta make that layup.

 

[Jholla2183]

No Energy in this building. UConn’s bench has no energy. Just seems they’re disinterested

 

[HCope]

excellent rebound by vital right there... kind of strange thinking I wouldn't want Adams closing out games w/ free throws

 

[housekeys]

Get it to 10 or better before half. That should be the goal, now.

 

[mauconnfan]

CV that’s a lay up

 

[Horatio]

Diarra being useful

 

[husky429]

Vital wants it

 

[Mike Honcho]

Vital is giving us a spark. Bill Walton needs to be put out to pasture.

 

[AntG168]

Vital wants it

As always

Adams and Gilbert have both been very lackadaisical at the free throw line.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Don't look now, but it's 13 with the ball ...

The group in there seems to be playing harder - Diarra and Polley trying to work their way out of the dog house.

 

[Milo65]

Vital wis some BALLS!

It's definitely a slice of the pie. Not a huge one, but it's not negligible.

 

[JMick]

lmao walton just barked

 

[AntG168]

I like the energy vital and diarra have brung maybe it’ll be contagious

 

[UConnMike04]

I’m tired of excuses, “If this fell” “If this guy wasn’t white hot” “I’d this or that”...at what point are the “if”s going to end? It’s been 3+ years and nothing has changed or improved. It’s street ball, pass around the perimeter and shoot a 3. Or drive into traffic and miss. Guys are outsized, out hustled, etc. We all felt good after Friday and then we lose by 20 to MSU (yes - I know we were down a point, but I care about the final...not the half, as we all should) and getting blown out now.

Just an observation, look at other coaches body language, etc. compared to Ollie. He always has that puppy dog look, sitting down, very little energy. I like the guy personally, but not a coach for a program of this magnitude. Maybe he’s better off at a real mid-major, then step back up to major D1.

Rant over, just beyond aggravated with the program right now. Wasn’t long ago we were headlining these tourneys and winning them.

 

[Kemba429]

Can someone get a recording of Bill Walton barking? That would be one positive thing I could get out of this game

 

[ZackB05]

Completely disappointed in Adams. All the talent in the world and he hasn't developed a consistent jump shot. He should be atleast a 40% 3 point shooter at this point in his career.

I know our "offense" is terrible but where is the effort on defense?!

 

[Tenspro2002]

Whatever happens the rest of the way, the fact is that KO did not have this team ready to play in an important OOC game against a beatable team.

We have seen this way too often.

 

[BugsyCT]

More barking, please.

 

[Purple Stein]

Down 45-31 at the half. The comeback has to start from inside the arc.

 

[joober jones]

Why can't Adams shoot free throws anymore?
