It doesn't matter the % of
shooting nor the talent level. It's the effort and end results. The majority of Ollie's last few years were dreadful. There were so many games I would shut the game off with about 10 minutes to go and I have never done that before due to of the lack of effort defensively. Teams in Maui shot high percentages, yes. We are not that good right now. Our self esteem is low, Hurley going bonkers again is not good. It could of been different during the Memphis game, and that one is on the coach and who knows what our record would have been. Regardless, there are plenty of games left to rectify the problems team and coach wise.

Has nothing to do with what I said. But thanks for the info.

One and dones work when they are truly special and have good scaffolding around them. If we take a look at some of the teams that look like contenders right now, they’re generally winning with older guys (Auburn:Broome, Kansas, Gonzaga, ISU, even Kentucky).

This is a young team, will take patience and realistic expectations. We can spar about it in the meantime and have some fun with it without getting our dragon panties in a knot.

My biggest thing is just keeping the UConn brand elevated year over year to keep the shelves stocked with great players so we don’t lose the momentum that Hurley has built in this rapidly changing environment.

Well stated. I mean Memphis had how many guys with multiple schools some with Memphis being their 4th. Landscape has changed given this time, DH got lucky with growth from freshman to sophs with some guys for the 2 champs not as much yet this year. We will see it takes time hopefully some emerge it’s only 7 games in.

I don't recall a UConn that was this poor on defense.

This was what I was referring to. Maybe I was a bit to winded. Lol.

it’s really not that young. SJ is a Sr. Hass is 5th year. AK, reed & Mahaney are Jrs.

last year we started 2 5th years, a fr & 2soph

Neither of which are talented enough to be the core to leading this team. Both are career backups. This team needs a super young guys to rise up to do that (Liam and the sophs).

A political pundit on CNN brought up Dan Hurley's antics and the anchors on NBC News Chicago showed clips and were laughing at Dan Hurley's antics.

Coach is certainly keeping UConn in the news.
