UConn/Tulsa game thread

[UconnFanNVa]

I dont see a single player on this team that has that fight. There is no sense of extra effort or desperation to keep us to a certain level of standard, until its too late in the game. Hopefully someone develops that, because right now it doesnt exists. We can talk about bringing back Dham, Pruvis, amida, whatever, but if they dont develop that leadership and winning attitude, it will be more of the same for us.

This is just traumatizing

Why do we struggle so much with this GD conference? This is embarrassing. The other elite programs win these types of games by 20.

And this is why we are not an elite program. We have way too many down years

 

[ASweet3781]

It should be clear to just about everyone at this point, this coaching staff has no answers. At all. For anything.

And for those spinning we have no talent or are worse than last year I disagree. They started off showing potential and are getting progressively worse.

 

[RioDog]

Wow- is this the current state of UConn hoops? Sad.

We don't have the talent and we don't have the coaching. It's a bad combination in any league.

It's time to really start evaluating Ollie. I'll give him next year and the incoming class...if the next year or two are like this a change may need to be made.

 

[mauconnfan]

Horrifying. Best I can put it. From the staff to the players. Nothing to talk about, no one steps up and Tulsa sucks.

Let's see that thread about why they aren't ranked

 

[CardiacAndre7]

What's scary is our "perception" as a great program is going to go downhill fast. Honest question, if we don't make the tourney this year or next do we let Ollie go?

No but he needs to stop looking like he's constantly about to cry on the sidelines. It's tough to be positive but the coach rubs off on the players. Calhoun would be screaming this underperforming bunch into the ground.

 

[Husky Dad]

What an awful finish. These guys act like they are pros. Lazy shots, no d, no coaching.

 

[RayRay19]

Team needs a leader...

 

[David 76]

Didn't even try for a rebound on the free throw. This is sad.

 

[BlueDogs]

Wow, this is putrid. Starting to think KO is has no clue how to get his own team ready to play for a sustained period. No discipline.

 

[Storrsbred]

The way this team looks now it will be the second year of ineptness in this league. How many seasons like this can UConn withstand?

 

[Chuck]

If we were in a different conference I think I'd be questions KO's job. He's safe forever though. He needs to get rid of the nepotism and hire some real assistant coaches. He's a recruiter / motivator and should stick to that.

 

[Point6]

The most positive spin you can put on this is that Ollie is trying to break the team/teach them a lesson by not calling time outs. I doubt it but I don't get it otherwise.

NIT bound

I'm pretty sure 2014 was a mirage

 

[BugsyCT]

Mailed it in 2nd half. Disgraceful.

 

[TheRogers]

Tulsa.....f$&@ing Tulsa.....

 

[Chin Diesel]

Wanna play guess the press conference quotes?

 

[RioDog]

Oh well. Back to the football board.

 

[UConnMike04]

At least it lowers Syracuse's resume!

Larry Coker once won a national title in football because he took over a team that had great players and great leadership. He then proceeded to roll out a worse product every year in a league that most thought his team would run. I'm watching the same thing happen here, the exact same thing, and it sucks.

Looking like Shabazz should be credited for that at this point.
