Sad, but very true. It's a defensive scheme problem inherent in our help defense.

But the root of our defensive problems, IMO, lies with our bigs playing too soft.

They get pushed out of position too easily.

Also they have little court awareness. (How many rebounds did they have taken away from them by a guard?)

Oh, is Bradley still injured?

Peace,

Bradley's gone for the year

On the original point of the thread: Napier will play better.

I don't often post being a lurker and all, but I'd like to say I agree with Fishy.

I should probably stop here, but I like the sound of me typing, to wit.. every other post in here seems to read, "It's not the UConn I'm a fan of that sucks it's a bunch of importers wearing the same uniform that suck", or "holy **** that guy is a talentless hack". If you want to criticize someone that's fine but say something entertaining or informative because as a fan going to a website filled with like minded fans the negative nancy bull**** in here pisses me off. And I might add it also greatly detracts from the enjoyment I get as lurker(consider carefully the normal mindless drivel written in here to appreciate the gravity of that statement).

Well I guess I should be charging money for all the entertainment I have provided you and the entire Boneyard:D
 

I think my analysis of players and judging of talent speaks for itself:cool:. You are right though I am out of control about winning. Winning isn't everything its the only thing that matters, and as a fan it bothers me to see the same mistakes repeated over and over again without making the proper adjustments.

Good news is you're the only one listening to yourself magic due, except maybe 32..............keep patting yourself on the back, it is very entertaining!

Shabazz needs to compare himself to a guy like AJ Price, rather than Kemba. AJ Price is the player all of us hope Shabazz can become by his junior year. Right now he's playing more like Kemba, which he obviously cannot get away with because he's not nearly as talented. AJ Price wasn't the flashiest player, but he did make his teammates better and he was a reliable three point shooter.

Another thing: Earlier in the year, many of us were already calling Shabazz one of the top point guards in the country. He put up double digit assists, recorded a triple double, scored when he wanted to, and led us to victory over a very good Florida State team. His massive regression is what would make me believe he is hiding an injury. I'm not looking for excuses, it's just that it is very abnormal for a kid to go from one of the best point guards in the nation to a complete liability.

Sometimes it takes one good game for everything to click again. We forget how bad Kemba looked at times in the middle of the Big East schedule last year. He would still get his 15 ppg, play great defense, lead the team, etc., but there were a lot of 8 for 24 games mixed in there as well. I recall Kemba having a great game against Providence which got him back on track. If Shabazz goes out and drops 25 this weekend, all his struggles will soon be forgotten.

of course i am serious when everything that is coming to fruition was already predicted by me about startin boat since the beginning, about Napier and Daniels ineptitudes, losing Moe Harkless was a big loss for us, about startin scoe, etc, etc. If my advice was heeded since the beginning we wouldn't be in this mess that we are in now struggling to make the NCAAs. The better question is why you guys just won't accept that I was right and you were wrong and we can move on from it lol:cool:

Unleash the Boat, unleash the Scoe, unleash the Alex
 
Classic thread. How are Bazz and Daniels' "ineptitudes" looking now? Bazz had a GREAT junior year and should receive all american consideration as a senior.

Put the glue down... we could be a 3rd seed and last year we could have been a 6 seed.. not struggling. ..
 
I skipped reading this whole thread. Shabazz is one of the best players we've had. I saw him play at URI several years ago in a holiday prep tourney and said repeatedly that he was our answer at PG. I was thrilled when JC got him and I've never regretted it. Shabazz is a warrior. He is untouchable after last season.

Yeah but uh, he uh doesn't get his arm up when he closes out on a shooter. :confused:

I might be wrong about UConn fans/alumni having lives. If people remember details on a message board this petty, we need help. , I was railed at a college hockey message board over the most stupid stuff with the dumbest private messages.

Internet elitism. A new low for humanity.

What? My vote goes to Karl Hobbs, he played with his back to the basket, wasn't very quick for a small guy and was no offensive threat.

Umm....... this world is called the Boneyard, a graveyard for logic and reason.

Hobbs? He was pretty good. Check out this SI account of perhaps his best week at UConn. Scroll down to the 3rd paragraph in the EAST section. Great quote by Hobbs: "That was an incredible play, a tremendous play on my part". I was there, it was!

I could be wrong, but there was this guy, I think his name is Taliek Brown..... yea, pretty much everyone said he was awful and the worst too...

how'd that work out?

The patented arm pit shot into the trees when over-penetrating didn't stop UConn from winning a NC.

I don't think Hobbs played for Calhoun. He was small bu a good player that understood his role.
I have a program in my UConn stuff with his autograph.
Steave Pikell was Calhoun's first PG.
But he played on that awful team when Clff Robinson and the other star were suspended. They had very limited options playing in the best conference in the US.

My apologies to the UConn NIT MVP Phil Gamble for forgetting his name. He does tend to get overlooked in any list of UConn stars.
Mike Mckay from Harding is another. UConn was in the post season all four of his years 1978-1982. They also beat Syracuse at the dome and Georgetown in Washington.
Yes we did play basketball before the JC era.
thanks to the Internet I don't t have to depend on my failing memory.
Note on Karl Hobbs
his daughter went to the same high school as the number 1 UConn recruit in 2004. Was that Rudy Gay?

Thank God for Archives.

Yes ... zls ... you proved your bonafides. I don't even want to speculate on the "Worst PG in the Calhoun era". But, didn't that kid Shabazz get a hole lot better?

No he wasn't pretty good overall. He was pretty bad. And that was an incredible play. The other posters are right, Hobbs was a Perno recruit.

Are you really saying that Shabazz didn't have an outstanding junior season? I thought he was terrific in terms of both productivity and leadership. That represents major improvement over the year before. I'd love to hear your take on his 2012-13 season.
