Give syracuse credit. Much more effient floor game, making their wide open shots and we're missing put backs. Hope we learn something from this.

I want them to learn how to guard people without fouling them. Find a way to adjust to the way these games are called now, and do it quickly please.

Syracuse is capitalizing on plays. But I don't understand how they have fouled us this many fewer times, given how often we've driven into the lane in the second half.
 
Love that Lydon kid

Purvis has to stop that. He simply can't drive in and finish.
 
Thought it was interesting that Brimah was not used in the middle to feed perimeter shooters. We had no one who could do that.
Also agree that they were much more effective defenders, blocking or altering shots with no fouls. Seems like we fouled every time we defended.
 
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

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

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

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