No foul on boat's drive. UnreAl

 

[UConnJim]

UConn should play zone. Dayton is spreading the floor, cutting and driving.

 

[Silk31]

Not looking good...D is atrocious, really a big let down when our O finally showed up

 

[Stinger92860]

Back to back bad decisions by boat

 

[zyron]

Hamilton pushed him on the dunk? Is this announcer smoking crack.

 

[RichZ]

Another horrible call. That's a block, not a charge.

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

Facey is absolutely atrocious at defense right now. He makes no attempt to even help on the weakside or if a man drives. Whether its a pass, or a drive, he literally doesn't move off his man in any situation. Hopefully that gets better, because it is a major problem right now. Brimah is out and its layup city. Not even contested either.


Hamilton is a stud. And Purvis looks much better, so those write offs were pre-mature.

 

[Tampahusky]

When was the last time we gave up 40plus in a half? I'm disappointed in our dribble drive defense.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Charge = make up call

 

[HuskyFich]

A fan is chanting U-C-O-N-N in the crowd...Gets called for personal foul

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

This isn't neutral court this is a Dayton Home game.

 

[Walker11]

The defensive breakdowns are terrible but I'll wait a few months to worry about that. I really like the potential of this team.

 

[zyron]

Charge = make up call

A make up call for what? The 100 other times the refs whistled UConn.

 

[RichZ]

Somebody kill the color commentator, PLEASE.

"Just the littlest pull at the end."
The kid did a $$%##$ chin-up on the rim.

What's he supposed to do? If they even move towards the ballhandler, it's a foul.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Ok two things i notice in the first half is our defense has been awful. They are getting to the rim as much as they want and even if they are getting soft calls it looks like we are putting no effort in on defense. Second, Samuel has been very, very underwhelming. He should not shoot outside of the lane, and he isn't playing defense up to his standards either. No one has been able to create a shot, especially in the last 10 minutes.

I really don't get how people think that last drive by Boat was a block other than bias. That was a textbook charge, and everyone needs to stop thinking that every time the whistle is blown the foul is on Dayton; stop pouting like Boeheim.

 

[Brochacho]

Cut down on fouls and uncontested layups and its a win.

 

[UconnHusk3's]

Paint touches? Or nah

 

[breezy]

Halftime score?

 

[Jimdish255]

I watched the Samuel out of bounds call about 5 times and still couldn't see where the (late) call came from.

And is it possible any of there guys can get called for a defensive foul?

This is just absurd.

 

[Dove]

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

When the situations are similar at both ends and the fouls keep going one way I'm not sure what to tell you.

 

[uconnisgood]

I've noticed Cassell and Hamilton make a lot of freshman mistakes with their shot selection so far this season. Ironic eh? Considering they're freshmen huh. I expect those to cut down by the end of the season. But for now, focus on getting out of this with a victory. Win and move on! I like for our defense to step up and hit another 4-5 threes in the second half.

 

[BUHusky]

Halftime score?

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

 

[Palatine]

I thought Ollie might play a little zone to protect the basket and keep his guys out of foul trouble. He's not as allergic to t as JC was. But guess not.

 

[Kevin Caliendo]

I'm pretty sure we can cancel the Brimah to the NBA plans. He will be compared to thabeet and right now he is not the defender and definitely not the rebounder HT was.

UConn has gotten nothing from the bench this game so far. Yeesh

 

[UConnTrumbull]

[Dove]

Halftime score?

41 to 41

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

What's he supposed to do? If they even move towards the ballhandler, it's a foul.

Exactly! He has no fouls because he doesn't even move towards them to attempt to defend. Simply lets them walk in. At least if he was fouling it would show that he was attempting to play defense. Re-watch some plays. He provides zero helpside d of any kind. Whether its a pass or a drive. Nothing.
