Message: [QUOTE="kansashusky, post: 2462072, member: 1183"] This is a message board; who stays in their own lane? It's a place of discussion where you discuss topics (this is a UConn basketball board, so we talk about UConn basketball), and if people are optimistic, I would like to know why. If some one wants to think everything is fine in Storrs, that is great, a message board is not the best place for that if they don't want to defend why they think a certain way. It is not an I told you so. I believe this team does not make the tournament. I think this because we have a roster that lacks talent, a coach who doesn't change his scheme to fit the talent he has (we run simple NBA sets without the talent of the NBA), and our players don't play particularly hard. We let other teams have career nights, and we don't like to show up in the first half. We are favored in 8 of our remaining games. If you think this is all due to bad luck and the coach cannot impact the circumstances, that is your opinion. I happen to think a coach is vital to the success of the team, and I do not think Ollie is doing a particularly good job. We are 6-3 with a tough stretch coming up, and if we do not pick up some marquee wins soon, we will fail to reach the tournament again. I realize this team needs "time", but in the real world, we don't have this time. But everything is fine, be optimistic, keep hoping! I just don't agree. [/QUOTE]
