What makes me so mad is we lost to a mediocre team at best. This and the Creighton loss should never have happened. Some of the other ones also, but we definitely should not have loss to those two teams. AJ needs to concentrate on being sound and not f-up the basics. Him and Gaffney have butter fingers. Like I said best possible outcome sweet 16 and that’s me reaching.

we’re a mediocre team. step it it up the pope of Jersey city

Why shouldn’t it have been close? This is the problem. You all think we’re better than we are. We shouldn’t be blowing Marquette or Xavier(on the road) out this year. We were in position to win on the road against a top 25 team with a true home court advantage. We lost. We all know at this point we aren’t a top 10 team and a final 4 lock. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves after every loss. It’s miserable. Enjoy the climb. We could be GTown, Cuse, or seton hall. Instead we’re an inconsistent team who is good way more often then they are not. We wanted to be in a top conference. We’ll this is life in a top conference. Win your home games and compete on the road. That’s where we are this year. If you would just adjust your expectations, and stop expecting us to come out and man handle top 25 teams on the road, you’d enjoy yourself more.

That’s not what I’m thinking that’s what you’re thinking. It shouldn’t have been close because we begin to play stupid and we hardly ever adjust when required. Please don’t tell me what I’m thinking and start admitting we lose a lot more close ones than we win. And in many of those we lose leads because of bad decisions from both the players and the staff

Or not passing to a guy for a dunk on a break and instead going one on three hero ball with the game on the line…

I don‘t think its hero ball, its just not making the right decisions and not being able to finish

You could make the argument that Jackson doesn't end up with a technical if Hurley doesn't get one first. Players will model their coaches. Hurley set the stage for aggravation and Jackson followed suit. As a coach, you've got to be more mature than your players and show them how to respond to adversity.

At this point I would start Hawk over AJ. I just don‘t see the value in the minutes AJ is getting.

Down play every win, overstate every loss. We win and it’s, “yea but…….”. We lose and it’s Armageddon. We are an inconsistent, good not great team. That fact that you are using the word “should” implies you think we are better than we are. We aren’t.

Didn't Jackson drain a much needed 3 right before that?

The drive that was into traffic rather than dumping it off for a layup right before the ball went out

No pal you’re always saying “not a bad loss” lol. Glad you’re happy watching the same ol mediocrity just don’t acknowledge that I’m not. This is UConn, not acceptable. But by all means blow smoke up their butts when the bubble makes its way in the conversation.

10-7 in games that mean anything tell me that’s ok?

Can you prove this? Or are you just talking out of you arse. I called Creighton and Nova bad losses. You’re not happy because you have prime UConn expectations. That’s my point. This isn’t a prime UConn team. I can be satisfied with this teams effort, while obviously wanting to keep building on it in future years. No ones content with this being the apex.

I don’t think Hurley is utilizing AJ skills to the fullest … AJ should never be on the perimeter, he should be the pick and roll guy, the catch the oop guy , the catch it on the block and use his athleticism guy , he should always be around the basket …. He rebounds well, runs well, … but Hurley wants him shooting 3s and playing with the ball on perimeter and then ask him to create for others …

Can’t seem to make plays at key points with bad decisions on the court and a lack of composure starts right at the top and flows down. Real poor, hack job.

They simply don't have that play making Dog that we need. Hawkins is far from ready. Also this team simply doesn't play smart or value possessions and this lack of discipline comes back to bite them every time against good opponents. They have to have a different mindset against these good teams particularly on the road. Ultimately we are missing a piece or two. It's just not on this team. A team either has that formula or it doesn't. If this was a smart team their record would be much better.

There remains time for them to grow however it is looking like next year for that breakthrough. Extremely disappointing loss. Pressure busts pipes.

Agree. The discipline isn’t there to make smart plays under pressure and as much as some don’t like it, Hurley’s frenetic mindset and behavior don’t help.

Thank you, yes, they play off the coach. Hurley needs to chill and maybe hit some coaching clinics, seriously.

It was a bad T despite knowing it was a tough call can’t happen. The bad decisions by the players hurt more than anything. RJ missed a wide open AJ for an easy deuce which would have cut it to 2 and had them reeling. Same on Martins attempt to finish which was weak.

Just a bad loss for many reasons they don’t look prepared at all when in close games.

Once again, panic set in when the game got close and late

The bubble? Let me book mark this post lmfao
 
the man is immature and a clown and as his tenure at UConn inevitably turns to failure, the meltdown will be spectacular. I cannot imagine a rational parent ever wanting to have this man mentor their son into adulthood.

If Jackson doesn’t have a clear path for a dunk he can’t finish anywhere in the paint, he is an abysmal scorer. He’s great at defensive rebounding and pushing the ball up the court but then disappears on offense.
