We Need To Quit the Big East

[prankster]

As much as I love UConn bball,, I find it so difficult to watch he conference games.

If anyone can explain, precisely, what constituted that second foul on Newton, I am all ears.

But I know the reality.

We will never get a fair shake in this pissant conference.

We just have to get out.

Let them thrive on Seton Hall and Creighton as the cream of the crap.

 

[Huskyforlife]

And go where?

 

[KingAG]

And go where?

The Atlantic Division in the NBA. Duh

 

[husky429]

No.

 

[prankster]

And go where?

Anywhere!

Colonial, Big Sky, who cares?

Big Est sucks balls!

All of those fouls called in the final 4 minutes should have been called all game.

We should have an could have won by 30.

Even up 20 I was apoplectic at the horrendous officiating.

We have to get out of this dysfunctional, abusive relationship.

I hate myself for clicking on this thread and reading the OP

I swear people are trying to get hung these days.

I'll take tonight every night during league play. We weren't very good offensiviley and EVERY posession (both sides) ran the shot clock down, so this game was destined to be low scoring.

What normally happens in the BE is the refs put 2 on one of our starters in the first 6-8 minutes. This was the first normally reffed game of the year IMO. (But with 2 very egregious bad calls...Castle offensive being the second one)

I’ve been watching basketball a long time. Was that foul on Newton on the three-point shot real ? did he really kick his leg out? shocking that creighton had so many fouls to give late in game that none were called on them. Normally wouldn’t care a great win but damn it does seem like the refs are really calling some stuff on us lately, huh

It was a bad call, but the refs were solid today.

No. They we NOT awful. But that doesn't make them solid.

The Big East needs us way more than we need them.

uconn has too much talent to be forced to play games that are 62-48.

Careful, 110 was a common o/u for our games back in the AAC

Have you been drinking? Won another natty in case you missed it. The refs are awful and i agree on the foul in question. The big east is like playing with 5 lb ankle weights on each leg. Once you play ooc or in tournament you are faster and things come easy. I share your frustration but it leads to the ultimate goal

After winning the game by double digits agains a ranked opponent and comment is we could have won ny 30, The basketball equivalent id pissing and moaning about taxes after winning powerball.

Good god,

 

[cohenzone]

Amazing. The refs pretty much stayed out of the way. After all the bitching about UConn having trouble with refs, this game was easy to watch.

I think this was the wrong game to post this. Not a lot of fouls on either side in this game.

I would have said the same thing about Cincinnati after their 62-59 loss to Baylor, but they lost and they don't have talent.

You have to feel for teams like Baylor getting stuck playing Cincinnati.

And go where?

Bret question let’s see if there is a great answer.

 

[superjohn]

We're finding new and more asinine ways to deal with UConn being the best program in college basketball.

All the complaining about reffing is getting really tired, especially when we just played a great game, beat a top 20 team, and are #1. Some on here need to find a new hobby.

You think low score had to do from reffing? We had an off shooting night, made some bad shot choices. Oh and our defense completely shut them down. Great game, fun to watch
