UConn/G'Town thread

[UconnFanNVa]

I'm OK with the shot. Just too little to late. This was our game and we have it away.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Didn't expect anything and yet am still disappointed. The worst combined performance by Purvis and Brimah yet. Crazy to think our defense fell apart when Steve Enoch of all people picked up his 3rd.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

No one gave ANY help to Jalen in the second half, no player besides him can create his own shot, feel bad for Jalen because he was on another level than the rest of the team. Can't have that the rest of the season. Purvis needs to learn how to play basketball again, Brimah playing 7 minutes fouling out is so Brimah-esque.

 

[Hi-Low]

Great game.....hope we play Gtown next season....just not enough bullets....building to 4 games vs Cincy & SMU and AAC tourney

 

[Travelman6]

ugh, 7-10...15 points and a few bounces away from being 12-5.....

 

[Bomber36]

We got Purvised.

 

[David 76]

I think we actually lead the nation in points out of timeouts as weird as that seems

Just one of the things KO takes undeserved heat about. Great today.

Just one of the things KO takes undeserved heat about. Great today.

The problem is that the inbounds pass NEVER leads right to a bucket so people lose track of the possession

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Enoch not a juggernaut by any means, but he is playing within himself. Definitely improved. Shout out to him

Can he please become the surprise Darren Morningstar became at Pitt?
If so, how soon?

There was a moment in the first half when Georgetown had 4 guys sitting in front of the scorer's table waiting to substitute. That concerned me, but this game was so winnable, and by a decent margin.

Senior leadership is not supposed to be an oxymoron. (Not looking at you KF)

Good news...assuming he stays, we're going to have the best player in the country next year. Jalen Adams has all the tools to be the best player that ever played at Uconn. And I don't say that lightly.

 

[David 76]

The seniors are killing us. They simply CANNOT be this inconsistent. None of them really showed up today

Not as good as lately, but I don't think Facey hurt us.

KO is great at drawing up plays out of timeouts, they're just not immediate. Example is today in the 2nd half with I want to say around 8 minutes left. Got Jalen and Facey into a pick and roll and Facey had the open lane and I think got fouled

Easy there buddy.

 

[David 76]

Well thanks to purvis and brimah we let a great win slip.


I like the way we are playing though minus those 2 brain dead idiots

One for not playing and the other for playing?

 

[ctchamps]

Not as good as lately, but I don't think Facet hurt us.

He didn't hurt as badly as RP or AB but he didn't have the game he's capable of having to offset them, particularly defensive rebounds.

 

[August_West]

Easy there buddy.

Its not far fetched. Hes way better than kemba and Napier atvsame point

Ko was fantastic

 

[ctchamps]

Ko was fantastic

Wish he could have been on the court even at this age.

 

[blackbird]

Right.

Kemba is my personal #1, and Jalen is better than him as a sophomore.

He's incredible. And as good as he was a month ago, he's significantly better now.

 

[Vuce]

Not as good as lately, but I don't think Facey hurt us.

Facey was not terrible but Kevin Ollie agrees.....KO: I need more from my seniors, they can't be playing like that

Yes, he's showing us lots of talent and results on the court. But you're going WAY overboard with those 2 statements. Perhaps it's the theory of recency that is clouding your judgement. In the time I have been watching UConn basketball, here is a short list of players that Adams has to leapfrog to become the best all-time Husky:
Tony Hanson, Corny Thompson, Earl Kelly, Clifford Robinson, Chris Smith, Donyell Marshall, Ray Allen, Rip Hamilton, Khalid El Amin, Caron Butler, Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Rudy Gay, Marcus Williams, AJ Price, Hasheem Thabeet, Jeff Adrien, Kemba Walker, Shabazz Napier

So if he stays and has a great year, he may crack the top ten. There is no way that he will finish in the top 6: Allen, R Hamilton, Okafor, Walker, Marshall, Napier.

I think you are being a little too hard on those guys....but it's hard to explain why.
