UConn/ISU game thread

[hoopsknowitall]

Damn my pool took a torpedo. My alternative B pool is now front and center.

Kind of bush stealing the ball from the guy who's clearly running out the clock?

 

[Marty Jackson]

this game was a microcosm of the entire season... no consistency, no effort, and just when they look dead, they show some fight. Then just when you think they can put something together, they wilt in the end.
Down 6 with the ball and we had a chance to put some serious pressure on ISU. Instead, we give up 10 straight points.
At least Lamb and Drummond's stock won't be going up during the tourney. Drummond definitely isn't ready for the NBA. Physically yes, mentally not even close.

It was a punk move of the highest order.

 

[Adios]

Bye bye, Lamb.

 

[BugsyCT]

Not sure if Lamb missed the dunk on purpose realizing what he just did, either way a dumb@ss thing to do.

 

[iam76]

ive never hated anything a husky has done more than what jeremy just tried to pull

actually its kinda perfect...

in a normal world these kids would come back and get better but now they will go to the nba if they are top ten.

tough loss but we won last year and I am not one for being greedy.

I look forward to next year.

Bye bye, Lamb.

some team in the NBA is going to pay lottery money for a second round at best talent

What he just did....PLEASE

No, he just tanked it. Sort of a fitting exclamation point for this season.

 

[joober jones]

That windmill dunk was failing at failing.

Lamb at the end proves what I've been saying all season. They played cocky. Oh well, moving on.

 

[dogpause]

Lamb is a paper lion, how pathetic. Kind of underscores what I feel was his attitude all year, that he was simply waiting for the draft. I don't expect him to be in the NBA for very long, but I wish he had been there this year.

OTOH, I have great respect for Iowa State. They WON the game, it wasn't given to them. They came out and took it, and Royce is a kid I am not ashamed to cheer for.

On the bright side, he's gone.

I just hope this APR nonsense goes away. Plenty of talent coming back (Daniels, Smith, Giffey, Boatright, Napier), and they are still likely to land one of the remaining recruits...as long as the apr crap is taken care of, and they are eligible for the tournament.

 

[Rico444]

JC's decision to switch AD back on White is unexplicable

I didn't understand that, either. Roscoe Smith locked him down.

 

[UCweCONN]

well, let's hope they all get another shot at a run next season.

The post season ban next year will likely be a non-issue since next season will be a St. John's-like rebuilding season. We had a lousy season with all of this individual talent, what do you think will happen next year losing two or three starters, Shabazz with a potential chronic foot problem, uncertainty about JC's future, only a single incoming recruit, and few unsigned top recruits available. It looks like it will be a long season. JC will likely need to go the junior college route to fill the roster. I'm willing to bet there were no tears shed in the UCONN locker room after this game. I think they are happy the season is over rather than crushed over losing. Very un-UCONN like.

yes.

 

[Jax Husky]

The team we played in the first round this year was better than the team we played in the finals last year. Iowa State can win it.

Haha...they may be better than Butler, but they aren't that great. This loss is completely on the Huskies.

 

[dogpause]

I know we're not suppose to speculate on tranferss, but the NY Times wrote that Alex may be transferring. What happened tonight may seal the deal. I was surprised he didn't play in the 2nd half, IMO he was more effective than Andre.

 

[BugsyCT]

So....we've decided it's over.

 

[joober jones]

yes.

At least when Hilton Armstrong does it, it's entertaining.

 

[joober jones]

And video #2

 

[UCweCONN]

I will actually be very disappointed if he decides to stay. He just doesn't make the team better.

 

[Adios]

He needed that steal to pad his stats.

He was good when he played with hunger. Why did he even come back?
