Why would the 2nd ref feel the need to give techs when the 1st ref was right there handling the situation? That's pretty lame. Maybe the guy is like Teddy Valentine and just wanted to get on TV.

That’s the question - I assume he’d just had enough of Hurley.
 
In the last ten minutes of the first half (when we lost the game) he would have helped our defense. The D is so awful, why isn't he considered for minutes?

In the first seven minutes of the second half, when they scored at will. Well, you get the idea.

The officiating in this league seems to be getting worse by the day. Time for UConn to start throwing their weight around and letting Aresco and company know that they won’t tolerate it. I would have been ejected in the first half if I were the coach. It’s fine if it happens every now and then, I understand you don’t always get the best crew. This seems to happen game in and game out (to the extent that it has now significantly impacted our season)

I use to be like you and think UConn was going to find themselves in a P5 conference. It’s never going to happen. Nothing wrong with the new big east. Perfect fit
 
Stainmaster said:
There is no rational argument for any outcome other than a P5 split leaving the Big East on the same terms as any other conference not named the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, PAC-12, or SEC.

Given your posturing the past few years, it'd be a pretty pathetic about-face for you to suddenly become content to a future where UConn basketball is a second-division team.

We aren't and are never going to be in those P5 conferences. So giving your hypothetical split you've been crying about for years whats has better odds.
A) We get a spot in the P5 with our killer football program and prosperous recruiting market
B) Historically relevant basketball league/programs get left out of playing high level basketball
 
Conference sucks, announcers suck, network sucks, refs suck, conference coaches mostly suck, arena's suck, opposing fans suck, and so on and so on..

UConn has no weight in this league. And the idea the refs impacted tonight’s result is ridiculous.
 
At least the arena was packed with a great atmosphere. I only saw like 75% of the arena with empty seats! #AmericanRising
 
Where’s our 6’6 225 tough G/FW that rebounds and gets high % looks in the paint? We have no answer for this type of player.

This team needs some new faces at the 3-5 extremely bad.

The program was heading there but went completely in the sh ^tter when the three kids transferred and we lost our top recruit. Those three kids would be our starting frontcourt right now. Carlton, Polley, Cobb, Whaley, and Kwintin simply aren't UConn level players (past UConn where we actually beat teams.)

He believes that UConn football can somehow be relevant at some point. Realists know that's not happening.

Don't think imma hang around here tonight, depressing stuff. Better days are coming, and nights like this will make the comeback that much sweeter. But losing to sucks man
 
THIS. Why does he hate Whaley so much? He’s probably our best and most versatile defender. I think he’d rebound if given the chance. Instead let’s watch the most one-dimensional player we’ve had in a while (Polley) do nothing but shoot 3s while we have 3 other perimeter players on the floor. Polley should only be getting minutes when his shot is falling. Otherwise he’s useless.

Everyone else has gotten a chance in the frontcourt except Whaley.
 
It drives me nuts watching guys play D on the perimeter with stiff knees and reaching hands. And we are more than halfway through the season and pick and roll still mystifies us, and no one on the floor seems to know who the opposing shooters are.

The P5 won't split. They get their cake and can eat it too now.

How is this something you are content with?

At this point I am at a loss for words. In which direction do we go? If we full court press like we started the year, then we get exhausted and blown out in the second half. If we try to defend in the half court we get abused in the paint and leave shooters wide open. Every time we score and start making a mini run the other team comes down and scores or we get a foul called on us. Are we really that bad at not fouling, or is this the worst officiating to start a year ive seen since that Cinci AAC tourney game a few years back. Thoughts?

Taking ourselves out of the running out of hand is absolutely nonsensical, regardless of whether it will actually happen.

Move to the Big East if the dust settles and we are left out, and not a second sooner.

Why? They make money now. They get to load up their schedules with G5 so their records look good. Nobody from G5 can make the playoff. They can scapegoat Emmert and the NCAA.

They gain nothing by splitting.
 
This game got out of hand at the beginning of the 2nd half when Tulsa went zone and we took and missed 3 NBA threes in the span of 3 or 4 possessions. All of a sudden we’re down 12. It’s like they’ve never seen a zone before.
