The Official That Taste of UConn Game Thread

[CardiacAndre7]

Awful game for everyone except DHam, depressing to watch on thanksgiving. These floaters in the second half were so bad, I can't remember a time in the 2nd when we strung together 2 stops, it was always either a foul or a basket, terrible game, didn't show up against our arch rival

Jalen Adams has been awful the last two games, awful

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

The decision not to foul at the end was really mind boggling

 

[Jaker]

This was the one game where I thought Miller looked undersized for his position.

 

[Jaker]

We are a fouling machine, 3rd game in a row now, that will kill us.

He was terrible, hell just about everyone was, but I was really disappointed in the way he played.

Not for nothing, but it's incomprehensible that UConn had less FT attempts than its opponents entering today...and that number will probably continue to grow.

I know it's not in his nature, but it's time for Ollie to step up and defend his players a little more.

Looked so much like last year in the worst wa

We had no inside presence. DHam is the only one that attacked the zone effectively, Purvis and Jalen just threw up floaters because they seemed to be scared of contact. Defense in the second half was awful, Cuse got what they wanted. They deserved to win and we definitely deserved to lose

With regard to Purvis, he continually seemed to anticipate contact, and so shot harder than he needed to.

 

[Jaker]

Dham should of played the 4 and been the one coming up to the foul line.

That kid can be good and bad in the same game, hell on the same play. Inconsistency, it's a killer and we are going to be watching the team deal with it.

Game of his life

Except he's only a freshman, in his 5th college game. Kid is a great shooter, and seems to have a good bbiq.

Jalen Adams has been awful the last two games, awful

He's a freshman. The people calling for him to take Gibbs's spot sounded dumb last week and sound even dumber tonight.

In fairness, Connecticut didn't exactly make the game difficult for him.

Love that Lydon kid

There will be a lot of kids like Lydon you will like vs our interior D.

Is this the womens board?

No it's the "play with joy" board.

It's a game. They're allowed to enjoy.

A point that was mentioned by the announcers more than once. Which might not be his game since he hasn't been lighting it up from the FT line. But he was getting to the rim. And even with the floaters... one Brimah took away that looked like it was in.

This was the first time I got to see them play, and only the first half. I came away with the feeling that if they can finish their shots, this team will go on to have some massive offensive runs this season. Sure, they can get sloppy. Sure, Brimah doesn't look any better than last year. Sure, Facey still lacks court awareness. But otherwise, looks like one of our more athletic teams and is probably going to be fun to watch once they gel.
