The Official Huskies Ground The Flyers Thread

Looks like all but one Dayton hoop is in the paint.

Play a zone and pack it in...don't be like JC and stubbornly stick to man defense...we played lazy and got owned in the paint, let's give em a different look in the 2nd half

One of the things I liked last year on how KO managed a game was that he stayed with a hot hand. If someone (or some play) was working he stayed with it. This year he's moved away from that. Both in this game and the last, UConn was playing great toi start, built a lead, and rather than staying with the lineup, he sat most of the starters. The game quickly shifted, fouls, piled up and by the time the starters got back in the mojo was gone.

That's one of the things I never liked about JC's game management, he'd get a lead and (playing with house money) sub the players who got him the lead.

Hoping KO goes back to his NBA roots, plays that hot hand until it cools off. College coaches play not to lose, that's what made KO a breath of fresh air, he wasn't afraid to play to win. Don't auto sit players with 2 fouls, don't go away from the hot hand, etc.

I don't even understand what they're calling half the time.

How are you using the internet to check a message board but unable to check the score?

I'm periodically glancing at my phone.

46-43 DaytonDayton

 

[CallMeBruce]

This is one of the more frustrating games I've watched.

one thing I noticed is our D is collapsing way too much on the inside leaving the opponent with wide open looks for 3 point shots... hopefully during this time out KO can get them to settle down and get more focus on the defensive end... That's UCONN basketball... slow this thing down and dig in on D... the fast break buckets will come....

btw, thank God we're built the way we are... we're not gonna blow teams away but we fight until the end...

 

[Shabazzkets]

This is one of the more frustrating games I've watched.

Definitely frustrating to see a mid-major bomb our defense. But these things take time. Have to teach the new guys the UConn system. Offensively UConn has probably played its best game of the season.

 

[UCSLP]

think these announcers are a little biased?

47-52 them.

Huskies with only 5 assists.

OMG... DHam... can't have lazy passes young man... and we just got outworked by one Dayton player around the glass... Not good... thank goodness we're still kinda early in the 2nd half

 

[Silk31]

Offensively we are fine - playing this poorly on D against a team that struggles to score is alarming

 

[RichZ]

I'm pretty sure when Pierre blew the dunk and then came back to grab his own rebound, he jumped from out of bounds.

 

[RipCity]

These refs are relentless with the cheap fouls.

three dayton players beat our guys down court. unacceptable.

 

[Stinger92860]

Our bigs are hacking machines? Zone for a few minutes?

 

[Silk31]

We get a transition bucket and they beat us down the court - that can't happen!

 

[August_West]

No D, Heartless and Gutless

 

[boog204]

huge 3 by cassell

 

[Stinger92860]

The refs are not our problem.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Boat and Purvis were both fouled on that break, so obviously they're going to wait to call a foul on Nolan on the other end.

 

[Stinger92860]

No D, Heartless and Gutless

I wish there was a dislike.

 

[ktuck911]

love Sam Cassell Jr.... he's got that ol skool feel to his game... and he's not afraid to take a shot, and make it...
