As Kennedy was abusing him I was wondering what the weight difference was. Phil supposedly only giving up 7 pounds. If anyone believes that I got a bridge to sell them. Love to see the real weight difference between those 2.

Honestly, while its been a fun few days we have to be realistic...this team has been too up and down and flawed all SEASON. We've seen glimpses here and there of a good team, but more often than not we have seen games like this. Hell, the fact that we even need to win this game in this dumpster fire of a conference just shows you how flawed this team has been all year.

I hate to say it, but honestly...do we even deserve a bid??

Yup, we're as good as some of the trash that will play.
 
No matter what happens in this 2nd half, I cannot believe the small margin of error this coaching staff has allowed for this team. They are putting everything on Boatright to bail them out.

There are no answers from the sidelines to break these scoring droughts. None.

Can't have answers from the sidelines if there are none on the court can you?
 
Pride doesn't make a team that isn't good good. The team has pride. It's just not a good team.

Because there aren't any players. You can't ever let Nolan or Brimah touch the ball, Purvis is up and down, and Hamilton looks like he has hit some sort of a wall. Who does that leave, Calhoun? Samuel is useless, so what can Ollie do other than go out and recruit better players?

Yes, you can. Unless you think Yale is really more talented than us. Everyone passing the ball around the three point line until someone hoists a contested three isn't an offense.

They can't think anyone isn't ready for the shooter running to the corner.

Well he certainly needs to recruit better that's for sure.

Speed the game up! The team plays better when they don't think.

We are not a particularly good team but too many things going wrong on the court. Coaching needs to eliminate more of it and stop digging huge holes! You should have heard this crowd. To waste it by playing that poorly!?

Nonsense. UConn has been lucky recently to have a few guys that could create shots on their own, or create shots for others. When the players can't do that, it's up to the coaches to get the players to execute an offense that moves the ball, moves the defense, and creates open looks.

Don't want to hear one word about fatigue.

Amida Brimah who should be the most rested player this entire tournament watches a rebound!!

What do you mean by nonsense? When you look at this team do you see more than a couple of guys that you can count on? The team is not very talented. It consists of one great player, one freshman who could be special and then a bunch of kids that may or may not develop into something. That's just the truth of it right now.
 
We have a California offense...




drought after drought after drought.

What I mean is that you seem to imply coaching doesn't have an impact. It does. SMU is a better team with a huge advantage in the paint. That explains what is happening when we're on defense. It's no excuse for what is happening when we're on offense and in control of the ball. We are an incredibly easy team to defend.
 
How brimah is ever considered a first round pick is beyond me, kid doesnt know how to play basketball
 
Is Boat gonna pull a Willis Reed?

Oh coaching makes an impact, but it isn't the be all, end all that some think. Put Napier and Daniels on this team and they are conference champs and none of us are bringing coaching up one way or the other. Ollie can utilize any strategy he wants, but there is nothing other than a ton of off season work that will make some of these kids into any sort of an offensive threat.

He's tall. There are still a lot of people that think that is the most important thing in the game of basketball, despite what recent history has shown us.
 
When the team can get out and run they look half way decent. Problem is they don't rebound well enough on the defensive end.

How would we know that?
 
F'in Purv with 26!. Taking all shots!

Silly me, I thought it would require actually using different strategies.
 
Here we come. Heart of a Champion. We got SMU right where we want them. Let's go, Huskies!!
 
The last stand. Heart of a champion.

LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Kevin Ollie is letting this team down massively by not getting T'd up. The refs are running roughshod all over them now.
 
I am proud of this team. They hung in there and fought for 40 minutes. They did not give up. Great run, fellas. On to the NIT. Let's go, Huskies!!!

UConn for Life!!!!
 
Did RB coming back in the game hurt or help us? I sat here trying to make that determination over the last 4 minutes.
