The Official Boar-Slaughtering Game Thread

[Tenspro2002]

Anderson step-back, pull-up 17-footer, and KO just sits on the bench and shrugs. He's given up in this game, why should his players care?

 

[Forte]

Blame the AAC all we want. Who would have thought Uconn would be the worst football and bball program in the league. All in a matter of 3 years

 

[UConn76]

why is Ollie letting these guys continue to play? put in the walk-ons versus just sitting there looking forlorn.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

No. The reality is this season is going to look a lot like last season.

Well this game certainly looks like Monday night at my rec center.

 

[Kitaman]

Feels like all we have to play for is the stat line

 

[noeynox]

Our offensive sets are straight trash. 19-0, run while we have guys dribble, dribble, and shoot fall aways from deep 2 point range.

I'm starting to become an Ollie ain't the guy, guy. Offense can't be clear out and let guards do their thing.

 

[UCDaveD]

Seriously, did Ally sleep with the refs daughter something.

If she’s a UConn student then possibly.

because friendship is important to him?

 

[Tenspro2002]

Awful play by Onuorah. 5th year senior with no skill or athleticism, brought in only for size and basketball IQ, his ability to hold his own on the block, gets faked out of his jock and fouls.

 

[jibsey]

Here’s the thing with KO. Can we give him the season?
I’m a Ollie guy but another year like last year and I will be on board looking too.

But let’s be real for a second. He’s not getting fired during the season. He’s here until the end.

So knowing that let’s see what happens. A lot of time left. A lot of new players.

This effort today is pathetic

Agree he shouldn’t be fired now. Most of us think that. How much do we owe him?

 

[housekeys]

Why does it feel like every team we play shoots around 60 + % and we shoot about 20%? I have lost all respect for Ollie

Effort.

 

[UconnFanDC]

How they hell do they practice this week? What do they work on?

Coaching, defense and passing

 

[MadDogRevival]

Ug.

 

[KingAG]

I’ve stopped watching for my sanity

 

[UConnJim]

Because he is embarrassing them? Total lack of effort and energy to start the game and it continued the rest of the game.

 

[ctchamps]

This looks like a UConn women’s B.B. game. This must be what their opponent fans feel like.

 

[Kitaman]

This is a 'pure' Ollie squad so it's all on him. They are not responding, that is obvious. Missing your shots then create better ones by playing high level D (steals, blocks, deflections, empty possessions, etc.). That is the Coaches job.

 

[Horatio]

Diarra has to play over Onurah.

 

[ASweet3781]

I am just glad we got rid of all the guys who "didn't want to be here". Looks like that was the problem.

 

[UConnJim]

We may lose by 50

 

[Stainmaster]

Blame the AAC all we want. Who would have thought Uconn would be the worst football and bball program in the league. All in a matter of 3 years

You think this makes us the worst basketball program in the AAC? You're dumb.

 

[UConn76]

ESPN should be embarrassed with this production. Walton doesn’t spend 10% of his time actually focused on the game.

 

[Purple Stein]

This team is not good. I’m sorry not one good shooter. No rebounders. Ollie and most of this board thinks Larrier is a stretch 4. He isn’t. He is a 3. We need rebounders in the game. We are one and done on offense every time. Oregon is not good so that win will be meaningless.

This switching Defense is bad as well. Everyone gets lost. Two 20 point losses is embarrassing. Please someone defend this team.

If Larrier is a 3, he'd better tighten up his handle ASAP.

 

[Milo65]

It’s the AAC... tired of that excuse. Witchita State, SMU, Cinci, all seem to do just fine. This downward death spiral has KO’s name on it. The players leaving last year should have been red flag.

 

[Forte]

I've seen a TON of fire Ollie threads and I've always rooted for him hoping he would prove everyone wrong. But this team is beyond bad its embarrassing the UConn name. I hope the coaching search has begun.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I want so badly for KO to succeed.
But he is gone after this season if UConn misses out on the NCAA tournament.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Larrier gets out of the way and lets a guy finish a tomahawk jam. Where's the pride?

 

[UConnDan97]

We can't complete a pass. We can't hit a shot. I don't know what the heck has happened to these guys today.

Did they all get brownies from Walton???

 

[UConnMike04]

Agree he shouldn’t be fired now. Most of us think that. How much do we owe him?

He definitely shouldn’t be fired now. However, a nice meeting with AD Dave to be informed he is on the hot seat shouldn’t be out of the question. Say what you will about football, etc, but the men and women basketball program are the main attraction for UConn athletics and the face of the athletic dept.

How can he focus on this GARBAGE? And thank goodness he doesn’t!
