UConn vs Yale Game Thread???

For a team that supposedly practices rebounding non-stop, UConn is really incompetent at rebounding.

And I'm not sure why DeAndre insists on spending the majority of his time on offense outside the paint.

Check out his minutes in the first half and then tell me he was on the bench. He was out there. He was setting picks. No one said you shouldn't play hard. I said no need to get aggressive and take risks.

NO disrespect to you as you are frequent contributor here, but sir, your argument continues to make no sense.

If DD cannot get off on a "Yale" team as you are so eloquently put it in such a obvious way. Then what?
 
Bazz's basketball IQ is a notch above other players on the court.
His PG skills aside, his knack for rebounding is uncanny...

Did you see he sneaked in and stole the rebound off the free throw?
 
That was some horrendous defense.

Zero hustle in the last 90 seconds.

Someone teach Ollie how to call a timeout because he appears not to know.

I didn't write that. If you're going to respond, respond to something I wrote.
 
Shabazz appears to be actively pursuing a triple double.

They stopped playing with 15 minutes left.

I am at work and can't see the game but that would be completely unacceptable seeing A. What happened Friday and B. We allegedly have 10 guys fighting tooth and nail for PT.
 
Pretty low energy out there and to some extent its understandable, but I'd like to see the killer instinct and some rebounding.

I am a critic of Boatright from the last game, but he surprised me that he found the other ways to impact the game, and impose his wills.
 
We are up 20 and have reasons to complain....good sign of the talent level but we absolutely need to find rebounding somewhere.
 
The front court is simply awful.

They can block shots, but they don't have a clue on defense and rebounding is just a foreign concept.
 
Excellent break of full court pressure. Brimah with alley-oop.
Then Shabazz gives Brimah another alley-oop but Brimah doesn't jump, and a short guy blocks his shot.

Samuel needs to come in for Napier--he's been playing nonstop.
 
Now they're letting up offensive rebounds off missed free throws.

This would be a 30-point game is this team wasn't so incompetent on the boards.
 
.-.
Our frontcourt is underwhelming . Daniels is lazy on defense and settles often. Brimah gets tossed around often. I'd like to see more olander as much as that sounds like a joke
 
Starting to look like Maryland last 10 minutes again. Stay focused guys and finish.

Anybody know Yale has 20+ offensive rebounds?

They are sending four guys to the offensive glass. Brimah and Facey are both getting shoved around a little and aren't reacting well to the ball, and our 4 guys like DD and Giffey aren't helping. If we grabbed a couple, we'd have a layup line at the other end, since Yale isn't balancing the floor at all.

Advantage is that last year if we gave them up, the other team would score. At least we can block putback attempts this year - consider that progress.
 
Were would be without SN? When a 6-0 guard is your biggest rebounder by a wide margin you know you are in trouble. I mean I know we are skinny but this is not excusable.
 
Bazz finds Boat in the corner wide open and you can hear him yelling, "Gimme an assist! Gimme an assist!" Hilarious.
