Vital and Gilbert

Hurley wants to call out the fan base when they get criticized, own it when they go 3 for 17 with 10 turnovers.

your quote, “fans don’t know what’s going on every day”

Fans also don’t get paid 3.5M to keep senior guards in the game and let them turn it over every time the game is on the line

own it Hurley

I hate to imagine how you handle actual adversity in the real world.

We can pretend all we want, and and I think we make the tourney regardless but there's a common theme with our losses and spoiler they won't be here next year. Not to say they're bad players but they make bad plays
Expand ...
I thought we'd make the tourney before tonight....now I'd say 50/50 at best. Need to beat Nova and some good AAC road wins to think about tourney.

I don’t take kindly to couch potato insurance salesmen who’ve done nothing to further the UConn Husky name running their mouths so loosely.

Yeah I'm not completely optimistic but I think we can win the AAC tournament, nobody but Memphis really scares me

Every single positive thing Christian Vital ever does is negated by a stupid out of control play or a horrible shot selection. So tired of watching him. Gilbert is terrible too. At least Vital rebounds.

They are both frustrating. Neither is terrible.

As has been said a thousand times on this board, you take the bad with the good with CV. He bleeds blue but God he makes you want to throw your remote at the screen.

nice rebuttal... not a single thought on the game, Hurley’s rotation, the ending, or player performance

Blank personal attack on someone you don’t know personally

Don’t act like a spoiled brat if you don’t want to be treated like one.

What exactly have you done to further the Husky name? If that's a criteria to post anything, sheesh.

Bouknight barely played. Hurley's got him tied up.

He and Adams played a combined 32 minutes and were 0-5 with 6 turnovers. They were no better. Bouk is a great talent and the future but no point in throwing him in there without giving him a chance to grow. We are going as far as AG and CV will take us this year. Unfortunately, that’s probably gonna be an NIT appearance.

I'm not one of the guys who bashes Hurley - I think he's doing more with what he has than a lot of coaches could. That said, it's hard to light it up when plays aren't going through you. Dan Hurley said it himself, they aren't running plays for bouk yet, and it was clear they weren't

@DaveHuskiesFan have you seem enough yet man?
How many times do we have to watch Vital play selfish ball and throw away games before you guys get it?
He won’t be here next year, Bouk needs to to start taking more of his minutes.

Vital refusing to slap hands with Hurley after he subbed him early in the second should have earned vital a seat on the bench.

Think you're reading way too much into a missed high five.

The kids they’re lashing out at are putting their bodies on the line game in and game out. It’s immature and disrespectful for people who have made no such sacrifice to take shots at character/toughness.

This is the best way to summarize these 2, love the hell out of them and Vital is an all time Husky for what he's survived. But I can't wait to have a team full of Hurley guys
 
Hurleys one mission the next three weeks before conference play is to get Bouknight involved in the offense. The rest of the players are what they are except for akok. Not gonna win unless we get support from jb. One more thing does cv ever pass on a fast break ? He had akok on the break actually twice I believe and took it himself. Sel-fish

I agree, taking shots at character and toughness are ridiculous. Discussing and sometimes criticizing level of play is a majority of what this board is for though.
 
Your senior guard. with. the ball. Can't have. that happen Vital. CANT have. that happen.

I will forever love. the. kids hustle, energy, rebounding ability as. a. 6'2 guard (He leads he team, oye) but he. is not the guy. you want with. the ball in his hands at that point.,

Winning any tournament when our guards put up stinkers every other game is very optomistic thinking.

This punctuation gave me a seizure.

It’s gotten beyond criticism IMO.

Yes x 100. Vital shouldn’t be in at the end of the game. Bouk should. Vital has never proved that he can put away a close game against a big time opponent. Bouknight will a lot in his career

Worst backcourt in America. Put Sacred Hearts backcourt in with Polley Akok and Carlton and we’re a sweet 16 team. Hurley needs to pull an Edsall and kill the previous regime

Bouknight doesn’t know what to do on offense yet. That’s why he didn’t play much he doesn’t know how to get open at all

When you have guys who continue to make the same losing no IQ bball plays over and over and don't hold them accountable you know the result and it sets a bad example. Unfortunately we don't have a backup for Gilbert right now so he has to play. If Hurley's coaching for next year and is sitting Bouknight for any mistake that's one thing but it's just weird Vital is allowed to make a dozen or so mistakes and hardly ever sits. Looks like Hurley is going to live and die with him, it seems fairly obvious that will kill any NCAA chances.

Only thing people are lashing out at is Hurley, an adult who clearly continues to have different standards, more lenient standard towards 2 seniors

zero attack towards the players. the entire state loves them and wants them to do well

but you can’t ask for sympathy and critique the critiques when you’re a 3.5m/year coach and you can’t see what the entire country sees
