I don't think we can keep it under 30

I'm happy the narrative is injuries though. Keep the narrative going and CBB history will forget this season.

Well we've been bad to mediocre for 3 seasons.. and I don't think that'll be forgotten unless we can right ship ASAP

Turnovers, lack of good entry passes, poor shot selection, and lack of leadership all add up to one key element; this team doesn't have a point guard.

Gilbert was our only shot at a successful season because we don't have a backup in his position. We have a bunch of 2-guards playing the 1 or the 3, and it doesn't work without a floor general...

We look like the Washington Generals.

 

[Tommyboy]

That was a really nice play by Vance.

 

[August_West]

Down 20 purvis 3s are like butter. Same as it ever was

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

How did Jackson get a rep as a lights out shooter?

 

[August_West]

Vance!

 

[UConnDan97]

Vance showing some life and some energy here...

Next year is a put up or shut up year for Ollie, no doubt about it.

Wire to wire top 25 and Sweet 16/Elite 8 caliber is the minimum.

Anything less and he's on the hot seat big time.

If I am playing for the Washington Generals and watching UConn I am scared for my job right now.

Holy crap. I missed this.

Career 99% shooter after timeouts

I was just thinking that this is typically when he makes a few in a row.

You just know this game is gonna end up with us down 4 under a minute before they remember they're supposed to suck this year

6 and the ball

 

[Alum86]

Getting drilled. Fading into oblivion.

 

[Tommyboy]

How the hell does Purv finish that but continually miss easy layups?

Same script

Vance with head scratching shot.

Vance with head scratching shot.

I was almost positive that would be the shot he hit too

 

[8893]

Dick move by Jalen.

Someone did jokingly ask him to take a half court shot on his instagram last night. Was close.

You got your answer

 

[uchusky32]

They don't play hard. Regardless of talent.

 

[navery12]

You got your answer

Results haven't really been there, but I expect by this time next year he's clearly a good shooter. Probably just a confidence issue early in his career

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

They tend to play just hard enough to keep scores somewhat respectable.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Next year is a put up or shut up year for Ollie, no doubt about it.

Agreed, done with the excuses.

 

[SubbaBub]

At least we'll be in the running for the #1 pick in the draft lottery....

 

[HuskyHawk]

If he plays with the confidence he had late in the game today this becomes a much better team
