But one wonders. In the last ten minutes of the first half (when we lost the game) Whaley 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.

Can someone explain to me Jalen? Plays like an absolute dud in the first half and then plays like the stud he is supposed to be once the game is out of hand....if he played like the Jalen in the late second half the ENTIRE game we would have won this game hands down.

They were playing zone and he couldn't get anything against it, and then their zone got soft late and he took advantage and scored

He scored 11 of his point in the final 1:15 in garbage time.
 
In the AAC every loss is magnified in magnitude due simply to name and G5 handicap, and every win is worth a fraction of a win in a P5 conference and they aren’t necessarily easier to get. It’s a rigged system and we are struggling to stay afloat in the national landscape in this quicksand. Shame really, we aren’t really allowed to rebuild in the AAC because the season to season cost is so high.

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)

And to think we were close in ft attempts until the end. I ask without reservation or agenda, but what would Hurley have done, changed, or adapted, to change the outcome of this game?

Big East basketball will be equivalent to the best FCS football conference in 20 years. How could anyone who advocates for that move not want UConn basketball to shrivel up and die?

you think Uconn at this rate will still be relevant (if we arent already) in 20 years? Our football team is a laughing stock.
 
Who thought we were better than Tulsa? We suck...

Hurley’s jackhammer hasn’t broken through the old culture and unfortunately don’t think he will in time

I hope this "culture" fix works. I know we have to give Hurley time...I'm trying to be patient....it's just hard to not at least be in the top 4 teams in the conference....I'm just asking to be a Bubble Team right now...

With what players do you see a bubble team?

But he will continue to be touted as the best player on the team and one of the best in the conference. I feel he is overrated.

His D is EVEN WORSE than those other guys.

We definitely won't be relevant if we are consigned to the NBE long-term.
 
What bothers me is this was a team that UConn SHOULD have won, enough talent to handle this team.
 
Literally what on earth makes people think this was a bubble team heading into this year?

You guys are either only watching UConn games or just that drunk on your own fandom.

I'm gonna be thrilled with 20 wins and an NIT appearance. Expecting anything else out of this group is just mind bending.

Jalen would be a second team all American with a “standard “UConn team of physical stature. There were many issues with ko but this is MY biggest personal gripe. What we wouldn’t give for a selvie. Or Haynes. Or okwandu. Or Justin brown. Or Curtis Kelly. Or dan cyrulik. ..... any 6’9” or bigger 240 plus human.

lol.

Most people on the board only really watch UConn games.

There is no way in hell we are getting 20 wins.
 
I think this is the 3rd time Tarin Smith has made a terrible mental mistake during crunch time. Second time he fouled a 3 point shooter with the clock running out, and the blown lay up last game.

So much for senior experience. Play Brendon Adams...no need for Smith at all anymore.

20 wins? Yeah, if we win the Conference tournament...which would get us into the Big Dance...to lose in the first round against Florida State or North Carolina State.

I'll admit college wise I only watch UConn games. Other than UConn games I prefer watching the NBA.
 
Ok so after revwatching the interaction of the coaches being tossed, here’s my take:

The referee who initially warned both coaches was pushed aside from the head official after 30 seconds. The head official issued the first techs, with the original ref nodding his head in agreement (ps he never took his whistle out of his mouth). Once Hurley made a move to shake hands, the original ref stepped in and T’d both coaches again.

It seems that the original ref was dead set on getting this thing handled his way. Not sure what was said that got him so pissed off, but he was ready to toss them from the get go

Don't you want UConn basketball to be playing college basketball at the highest level during the period of time in your life when your ability to afford good season tickets/traveling for the tourney be at its highest?

Even if the decision is made to sacrifice the next 20 years for the long-term future, the NBE is a mediocre league that people still look at as the same league UConn came of age in. Spoiler alert: it's not.

A bubble team? That's hilarious. We'd practically have to run the table and make it to at least the AAC title game, and even that might not be enough. With this Jekyll and Hyde team, you never know which team is showing up on any given night. A few more Hyde performances and we'll be lucky to squeak into the NIT.
