Xavier was picked us ahead of us in the preseason poll.Xavier was basically .500 last year and went to the NIT. Now they’re where we are right now. I don’t get your point.

I’m glad someone besides me has finally said it.I am stunned that someone built a team without a point guard and thought it would work. And that he thinks he can do it again next year.
If Seton Hall doesn’t lose KR in the first half, we’re 0-2 against Seton Hall this year - we can only score against them in spurts and when they start to pressure our offense, we simply fall apart. We had Sanogo out there at the end trying to run the offense.
That was just ugly.
Disappointed in seeing the same mistakes game after game. Just because we win doesn’t erase that. Good teams will eventually win. After a 14-0 start my expectations grew too high. Some of the games we’ve played have been brutal.But on the flip, all of our wins you give basically no credit yet you pile on after every loss. Interesting mindset.
4 years ago this team was under .500 in the AAC. They obviously need to win in the tourney and if we don’t everyone will be mad and there will be no pom poms.
But it boggles my mind how anyone can be that disappointed with where we are right now
We broke the press once, and Hawk and Adama had a 2-on-1; and Hawk pulled up and held the ball. I couldn’t believe it.Biggest problem today was game management with 5 minutes left. Running down the clock. Then trying to run our offense wirh 12 seconds without a strong ball handler who can get their own shot. We continued to run Hawk off screens with 10 seconds in the clock. He ends up giving the ball to Sanogo who has no business with the ball with 4 seconds left. .
How many times does Danny have to see this before he realizes it's not working?
The lowest our Kenpom projected win percentage got in the last 5 minutes was 98.5%.We broke the press once, and Hawk and Adama had a 2-on-1; and Hawk pulled up and held the ball. I couldn’t believe it.
Seton Hall had no place bringing it within 6. We once again had 16 or so point lead that we pathetically nearly choked away. Late-game decision making continues to plague us. Seton Hall is not a very good team; if this happens again against Providence, we will be embarrassed again. It would be one thing if we just missed shots, or rebound’s didn’t land our way; but the way we tighten up late in games, now even with a huge lead, is really something else. I really wish I had no reason to be a broken record on this.
Well not this game for sure and he was open before hesitated both times.He actually can't make it unless he's wide open. Whenever he has any one near him, he misses. He knows when to take it. And I think he does well when he shot fakes
You have no idea what you're saying.That is nice, but its wrong.
We are 5-5 in BE play the first time we played an opponent, 4-2 in the second go around. How does this fit your narrative that teams gameplan for us and we cannot overcome it?
You realize it works both ways right? Those of us who are happy with this season so far know that the complainers are going to keep crying no matter whatOh cool, we're comparing our team to most teams in D1 now. A bunch of teams lose their starters and a bulk of their mintues/scoring/great players and do great. Three of them are playing on national tv right now.
The excuse making around here is tiresome. I seriously hope we go on a run this season or we'll see all the same excuses again next season when most of our scoring moves on and we'll be absolutely loaded with talent.
lol no we wouldn’t. We’d be right where we are now.Go ahead. I genuinely don’t care. The point is boat, price, and Kemba were great college pgs. And it had as much to do with physical ability as it did “coaching”. An RJ Cole with this group and we might be the #1 team in the country
“Whiners” & “complainers”= fans with standards….You realize it works both ways right? Those of us who are happy with this season so far know that the complainers are going to keep crying no matter what
your posts are so predictable. Always “yeah but..”“Whiners” & “complainers”= fans with standards….
It’s very obvious that those who are happy with this season were happy with last season, and will most likely be happy with next season if it’s a repeat of this one.
Our coach said UConn would be winning championships by now. We've yet to win a regular season Big East, yet to make a Big East tournament finals, yet to win a NCAA tournament game, and we're going to finish a distant 5th in the Big East regular season this year.You realize it works both ways right? Those of us who are happy with this season so far know that the complainers are going to keep crying no matter what
Adding a first team all big east player would have us right where we are? Don’t be a bozolol no we wouldn’t. We’d be right where we are now.
How would Cole solve our defensive problems?Adding a first team all big east player would have us right where we are? Don’t be a bozo
After going 14-0 how can any fan be happy about being 20-7You realize it works both ways right? Those of us who are happy with this season so far know that the complainers are going to keep crying no matter what
I’m also concerned about coaching and consistent PG play, but today is a tough day to complain. Everyone other than Newton played well, our first 36 minutes were solid and we won by 9. If Diarra can give us good minutes like today, we’re 8 deep with the possibility of being 9 deep if Joey is given a chance. Very few teams in the country can challenge our depth. Lots of weapons if utilized properly.We haven’t been very good at all in the last 2. Not beating anyone of significance playing like that not sure why there’s such a celebration going on. Win is a win but seeing the same pattern of things which good coaches will prey upon is not good!
OMG, Hurley inherited his talent 5 years ago. Five. And our best hope is to finish 5th. We didn’t hire Hurley to “make us relevant again.” He was hired to win championships. This is UConn, not Seton Hall.That’s with the transfer portal. When we were .500 in the AAC that didn’t exist. The transfer portal changed the speed of rebuilds. And to add to that Xavier severely under achieved last season. Miller inherited more talent than Hurley
Yes.And I guess after Hurley fourth season he’s supposed to finish top 4 for the rest of his career.
lol no we wouldn’t. We’d be right where we are now.
The only way to shut critics up is win .
Who said Hurley was hired to just be relevant? Last year people on here were saying we didn’t,t have a point guard RJ Cole included. We love to complain about everythingOMG, Hurley inherited his talent 5 years ago. Five. And our best hope is to finish 5th.

Only because we want another one.People are literally criticizing after a win!
