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

Kevin Ollie doesn't have the beginning of a clue as to what he's doing with this team.

He'll realize the team has done nothing but jack threes when he sees the post-game boxscore at the presser.

No he won't.

Hey you know what it's less than a minute left, don't bother defending the 3 anymore....
 
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?
 
NIT! NIT! NIT!

Seriously, there is no way this team makes the NCAAs this year. This is the new normal. No NBA talent, no advantage in Xs and Os. Sad
 
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.

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

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

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.
 
What an awful finish. These guys act like they are pros. Lazy shots, no d, no coaching.
 
Didn't even try for a rebound on the free throw. This is sad.
 
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?

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.
 
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.
