ton of heart to fight back, last play *****

[husky99]

Drummond was open, smith should have passed it..

hell of a game

 

[ArmyHuskyFan]

Seriously Roscoe. Pass the forking ball. WTF.

At least he didnt throw the ball 3/4 of the way down the court with 10 seconds left....

Yes, but alas, another loss. We needed Lamb on an iso or something better to end that game. Damn

No doubt Roscoe had Andre for a dunk and OT......he can't accept a fadeaway down there either.........
Having said that he played a great last 12 minutes or so......just needed more of that in the 1st half as well as a more active Andre i the 1st half.....
Once again not a full 40............it's getting old!

you guys make it sound so easy from your living room recliner

You want a win, but this game shows that the team has what it takes to get better and not fold.

They should not lose to PC or Pitt.

 

[mauconnfan]

Bad bad coaching decision the last 13 seconds.......after Jeremy throws it in he NEEDS to be the buy on the post.......reason being as you saw was there any doubt Cuse was going to rush 2 guys at him on the perimeter? No doubt so put him where you know he is and where the defense collapses if he gets it he can do something with it, if not they are still overplaying him and there will be open looks.....no way you keep him out on the wing, at least a decoy..........too bad, nice comeback but again no moral W's in Storrs!

 

[BugsyCT]

tough loss, kids played their tails off that 2nd half.

no recliner, just 3 inches from the tv

Yeah I was in my recliner actually and it's basketball 101...he basically had a 2 on 1 and had to make a play.....drive and dish or stand and shoot....electing to go into the defense that is bigger than you and take a fadeaway with the refs whistles tucked firmly in their throats is not the option to choose!! Are we wrong?

 

[Palatine]

Just a loss, nothing more or less.

I agree it was a very emotional game and RS had to think quick but the right play was to drop it to AD he was wide open for the dunk no question.

 

[RuffRuff]

There was zero foul on Roscoe - it only looked like it because he took a wacky fadeaway where his body was almost parallel to floor - you see something like that and you assume foul, but not.

As a team, they are poor at passing the ball. Shows in those spots where a couple passes create open shots.

 

[hooskies]

That's a tournament team.

 

[husky99]

That's a tournament team.

agreed...

I agree... yeah he should've dished to Drummond but it was crunch time, pressure was on and he did have a shot but he over-penetrated. It's a split second decision... no rewinding the DVR to alter your decisions when you're playing sports. Kid worked his ass off and for that I am proud as hell of him... much needed.

 

[-Huskiediehard-]

I think overall their not a great passing team but SN,NG,RB and even AD are good passers. Roscoe gets out of control a little too much and is not a great passer although he played well tonight.

Are you kidding me? Since when does a guy fall flat on his back on a fadeaway? That would've been a foul in the NFL.

I also agree... it honestly looked like Blaney didn't draw up ANY sort of play for us to get a decent shot off. Nothing was done to get Lamb (or I would've even liked Boat taking the last shot) open... it's as if Blaney said "throw it inbounds in the backcourt so we don't get a 5 second violation and then try to find an open shot".

No not wrong but easy to second guess after the play and just wondering when you were in this same situation in front of 10000 fans ??

 

[partial]

That was probably the best energy I've seen out of the team this season. Bad last play, but the thing about Roscoe is that he would probably rip his arms off and try to block shots with his feet if that would help, kid is 100% effort.

I never was but I wasn't 6'8" either and a Top 30 player so it was never expected I could play in front of 10,000 people..........did it fron of 500 a few times though but I didn't get a free ride either.................neither will my kid I will pay ..................so there are some expectations here like it or not DAD.............

Free ride has nothing to with it - just remember they all are just kids - talented yes but just kids.

Been watching them since 1967 I think I get it.....but I appreciate the reminder............by the way, it was an easy pass nonetheless and they need to make winning plays!!
