UCLA Post Game Thread

[Gurleyman]

Ross off the bench makes sense. We can see how the game is playing out and maybe where we need him defensively. Perhaps it’s Fears - or maybe Coen Carr is giving us problems on the wing. But he can come in with no fouls and try to be our cooler if someone needs to be cooled.

Do you spend the fall up here?

If yes, instead of a cash wager, if I win, you'll need to attend a minimum of four home football games

How are you defining him being “the hero”??

Making a couple of 3s doesn’t exactly count

If I win, you have to promise to get Ruff Ruff to post 95% less than he currently does

Look at Florida!

Hell look at us. The announcer brought up how we have either won it all or not been out of the first weekend in our last 9 tournaments

There were 68 teams 5 days ago and 52 of them are headed home for the offseason debrief.

Whatever happens here on out, it’s been a great season. Doesn’t have to be championship or die.

Who was the guy making a point the Karaban was not a key player? Just thank him. Say nothing more

Solo.

You heard it here first.

I hope. I already invested a haiku on that same hope. But right now it's like saying "I just know this next spin will be red. It's due!" I don't mind if he starts but he should be on what Steionbrenner called "a big hook".

 

[superjohn]

I know people poke fun at Cronin, but I think he is good coach and a solid human being. He and Hurley are good friends and I can appreciate that, too.

I've always liked him.

 

[huskyjawz]

I love Solo and want him to succed. If the 3 isn't falling then pump fake, drive and pull up for the mid-range. You've been lights out all year.

Perfect example why I hate the chat and haven't been on there in 2 years.

Time to sit him honestly

Your shtick is tiresome and just not funny. So many here have asked you to stop. Just stop!

@temery were you there tonight? My sister kept asking me.

 

[Scottobot]

I am finally seeing what some others having been saying for weeks now. Hurley should start Ross over Solo. I feel Ross’s confidence is sky high and he has contributed on both ends of the floor. Solo’s confidence seems to have taken a nose dive. Nothing against Solo, just seems it could be best for the team if Ross got the start.

Ross played more minutes tonight and is doing well in current role. Changing to starting lineup would torpedo Ball’s confidence. The team doesn’t have a lot of scorers, I think its a bad idea to write off Ball. To beat the good teams ahead they will probably need him to hit shots in one of the games. Seems like better coaching to keep the same starters and just play Ross more if he is playing well. Maybe sub Ross in earlier.

How are you defining him being “the hero”??

I'll let you define it, but keep in mind, the stricter the definition, the greater the odds that you'll need to give.

For example, if you set it at 30 points, the wager cannot be weighed the same as for example better than 38% from three and a dagger late in the game.

Before this goes much further, can you commit to attending five home football games in the fall?

If it doesn't work with your avatar, nothing will.

 

[Kembafan]

Jayden Ross should 100% be starting and getting starter minutes. Take that to mean what you will.

If you don’t like my posts or opinions, put me on ignore. Sorry you can’t handle the truth.

Both players are used to their roles.

Ross might not respond well to being a starter and Ball definitely won’t by coming off the bench.

Bench players aren’t featured in Turbo Tax commercials.

Did anyone notice the commercials?

Sometime I wonder if the people on the chat are really UConn fans.

 

[karstenkibbe]

This win is dedicated to all the “experts” who picked UCLA to beat us. Well done losers!

Also dedicated to the many blowhards who post after every game that Dan gifts AK too many minutes and too long of a leash. You all know who you are. And so do we.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Top 5 team on Bart Torvik since March 1. Didn't look good tonight but that was as much UConn's defense as anything. They've been very good recently

UCLA’s best player was in street clothes tonight.

 

[HW611]

Got to love Karaban playing up in this tourney. His game one performance was overshadowed by Reed’s monster game. But he's been our best player easily and it's great to see him looking to end his career with the biggest bang possible.

Bent the “hero” is either being the obvious player of the game, like Reed and AK were respectively, or hitting a game winning shot and/or stopping a game winning shot.

Do we agree on that? And how did you so quickly change your stakes from 4 to 5 games before we even established mine???

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I have a lot of $$ that says no chance

Get some fresh air.

Kid didn't have to shower after the game. Win/Win.
