Make them 2's and take away 12 points; do we still win? How about you take away their 3's also; how badly do we win then?

The difference was that we were much better...

Kentan had about 3 good plays out of about twenty he was involved with on both ends. Who would have thunk with Kentan in a funk USF would have been punked!

He still put in a lot of hard work, though. And I thought he got hacked a couple of times that weren't called, too...

Not happy, but I can understand the context of having 4 straight poor/patchwork recruiting classes that led to this state of affairs. And I also understand that as our 2016 & 2017 classes matriculate, we'll improve and, within the next 18 months, be on top of the conference.

We have 3 players across our junior & senior classes: Kentan Facey, Amida Brimah, and Rodney Purvis. Of course we're brutal!

Its ben explained but sometimes folks just don't listen, love to live in the past and lack patience
But that's fine - to each their own

Looked good in the second half, especially Jalen and Vital but can't take anything from this game, USF is horrendous.

How bout a W to get them to .500 in the league???
Everything must look like crap wearing those glasses

Change literally to luckily. UConn is in seventh place in the AAC right now and is struggling against a terrible South Florida team. I don't want to hear about how bad the conference is at this time.

I don't think it was luck at all. You think they didn't deserve to win?

If one has to rely on winning the conference championship tourney to get to the ncaa tourney, more often than not you will miss out. It is imperative to be competitive in the regular season and not have to hope to win the conference tournament. Last year was just a very very lucky conference tourney for UConn, and luck is a very fickle thing.

They didn't have to rely on winning the conference tournament.

Was this in reference to the purvis defense on a layup, where he literally didn't touch the guy?

In a season of horrid officiating, that might have been the worst call yet.

It must be. I had the same reaction when I saw the replay.

The ref obviously anticipated contact and blew the whistle as soon as the USF player got near Purvis. Purvis never came closer than a foot away, but once the ref committed himself, he had to call something to save face. Too much of that kind of crap happens at the college level.

Da Silva is the player that I hope Diarra will be. Just a rebounding house of fire who thinks that anything coming off the rim is his.

What about Santos? I was impressed how undersized and tough he was getting 6 points and 9 boards in 21 minutes. I would like KO to get us a bench player like that.

This is the most depressing thread for a 21 point win I've ever seen

I choose to look at the collective intent of commentary (throw out the bottom and top pieces of extraordinary hyperbole) and you get a decent picture - good, bad and the ugly.

Not a dig on the kid by any means. More a point about how the rest of the team were able to compensate for Kentan when he was having a game like earlier in the season when he couldn't get his shot to fall and seemed to be struggling relative to his recent performances.
