The Official Boar-Slaughtering Game Thread

[jibsey]

Wonder what excuse KO will give? He is on the hotseat and it ain’t exactly cold there

 

[UConnDan97]

Wow. Just wow.

I can't even be super mad at the nickel and dime nonsense the refs are calling because our kids never left their hotel rooms. The defensive effort had been poor, the passing had been brutal, and the shooting has yet to hit the broad side of a barn yet.

Maybe they can wake up and pull a miracle out of this game, but it would take a hell of a lot more energy than they're giving right now...

 

[Hi-Low]

Enough of this............KO should clear the bench, play the walk-ons the rest of the way and lose by 50.

 

[Candyman]

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.

 

[Forte]

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

 

[zls44]

I think we should take more long 2s in transition

 

[Kitaman]

Ollie should humiliate this team on national TV and sit everyone but Vital and insert a supporting cast.

 

[UCDaveD]

Lazy, selfish, uninspired. Starts at the top. Saw someone use the term “trickle down Ollie-nomics” the other day. Perfect phrase for what is going on.

 

[superjohn]

Is Arkansas as good as we are making them look?

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

 

[huskyniner]

This team doesn't deserve to wear the UConn name right now.

Complete embarrassment and lack of effort.

 

[jdb50]

So I doubt AD David Benedict will be surprised by thousands of empty seats.

 

[Horatio]

Actually they seem to be playing team ball, their guards are playing with their bigs, and they are having fun. We look lost and beat up and worse like we have quit.

Their also a more physically mature team and they don't miss

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

We are about seven thousand miles away from the last few teams who will make it to the tournament.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Ollie should humiliate this team on national TV and sit everyone but Vital and insert a supporting cast.

Maybe Ollie should sub himself out.

 

[jayteeman]

I feel bad for anyone who thought they were gonna showcase their talents for the next level in front of the entire nation on a holiday weekend.

 

[ccsuphanner]

Are we going to lose this game by 30 points..?

 

[WlfdHusky]

Team's body language looks like their minds are on the return flight already.

They looked like that 5 minutes into the game

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Bleccch!

 

[ZackB05]

lol why do you think kids transferred? Ollie isn't some mr. nice guy. the problem is that he has no credibility.

Credibility? Please elaborate. The guy played in the NBA for over ten years. There were credible rumors people had some interest in hiring him for an nba job a couple years back. There's no doubt the guy knows basketball.

I don't think any player left because he was chewed out too much. Jackson left because he wanted to be he man. Enoch and Durham barely played.

 

[jibsey]

Maybe its talent and effort

 

[August_West]

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

 

[ASweet3781]

I was kinda gonna wait til March to write this but...

Ollie is over his head. I just don't see it.

I think most of us have had to regrettably face this thought the last year. For me it was when I listened to his podcast in the off season with Jon Rothstein. Even in a relaxed setting every answer he gave felt canned, rehearsed...nothing genuine or spontaneous. "This great university..." "I need a level 5 effort...". After listening to the half hour interview I felt I learned nothing about our team or Ollie.

 

[CL82]

Seriously, did Ollie sleep with the ref's daughter something. They are allowing so much contact for Arkansas on their drives but calling it against us

 

[Hamms30]

We foul entirely to much under the guise of "tight d" Although this game looks completely lopsided by the referees... that offense foul on Anderson was an awful call

 

[uchusky32]

Can't shot can't win. Team will get better but we dowe dont have anyone with s competitive motor.
