We're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

[B1GEast]

Looks like we're going to have to channel some Mojo this year.

We didn't get blown out or lose by double digits. We lost two close games by two good teams that both could make it to the tournament.

I hope we can make adjustments cause if Hurley can't figure things out, I'm a little worried about the upcoming teams on the schedule.

Maybe the schedule was too easy early on. I still believe that this is a good team and I'm all in with Hurley.

Glad the Holiday is here, a good excuse to enjoy some spiked egg nog after these two games.

100%. Its gonna be fun to watch from here on out

We definitely lived a charmed life for over two years, minus one three-week stretch in early 2023. I think we all got a little comfortable.

But this is how college basketball's supposed to be. Growing pains. Inconsistency. Losing games you shouldn't because of the madness. But hopefully that also means we see the incredible growth players can make over the length of a season.

We've snapped back to reality. I expect Hurley to rise to the challenge and get the most out of this team as possible, whether that's truly as a title contender, or something else.

 

[Mr. French]

I’m on record that the season is alive and well.

I’m looking at this like “the transition for this group to elite hasn’t been as quick and smooth as I expected” rather than “these 2 games prove we’re not good, not as talented and this year is now a total disaster.”

All I thought about watching was how we’re gonna handle Ike and Gregg from Gonzaga if we couldn’t handle Colorados big.

Could get ugly at Storrs South.

Colorado was picked 15th in its own conference. That was not a good team.

Just go with it man. Don't be that guy.

It's a quad 2 loss at the moment. Nothing to get suicidal about.

Needed one other 240 lb bruiser in the transfer portal. Singhare and Samson have height but not girth.

I actually think Singhare held his own on D. He had Malone miss once, which was rare in 2nd half and forced a sideline turnover

Exactly

Tomorrow’s game determines if we get back on the horse or are a bubble team.

Exactly when did I get suicidal? We lost to a bad team. It happens. So did the 22-23 team.

 

[BigTenFan]

Everyone wanted to play competitive non conference games. It's only November....relax.
Would rather watch a game like Memphis than a 4O point game against Sacred Heart (no offense Sacred Heart fans)

 

[Huskybass]

Definitely some things and playersto be encouraged about. Stewart and Nowell among them. Reed, Ball and McNeeley as well. Plenty of talent, it just needs to mesh. I'm still optimistic for a very good season.

 

[jibsey]

We have won with rebounding and defense, we still have the assists. Reed gave us little today and after yesterday that is confounding.

I know, I know. Don't worry. I'm on it.

 

[freescooter]

In some ways we are lucky to be in a high mid-major league. We can run through it and still get a bid.

I actually kind of expected this. Two years in a row we had outstanding college players. That isn’t, by the way, necessarily great NBA guys. College and pro basketball require different skill sets. Especially in the middle and in the back court. And one of our strengths was having experience as well as skill. So now we are trying to recreate something that really doesn’t come together that easily. Maybe it works. Maybe it doesn’t. Teams that lose close games sometimes lose confidence and end up losing by larger margins as the year goes on. Not all, but it isn’t that uncommon. We’ll see where we go from here.

Last years team got blown out by Seton Hall who wasn’t particularly good.

I haven't even seen a Haiku thread in a while. This board is getting sloppy.

We need to get back to the basics

 

[Stinger92860]

Playing better on the defensive end would do wonders. I’m not sure we have any stoppers though. We lost DC and Castle, that’s tough to replace.

Our only defensive player is Diarra right now. We need to develop a couple more to be competitive.

You really did research for this? It meant that much? L.....O.....L

Don't be a dick. I knew there were haikus for today's and yesterday's games so it took me about 10 seconds to find both. The posts that say "Haiku" in the title aren't very hard to find.

Can you ever admit you made a mistake rather than attacking other people for pointing out you were wrong? If I said that and someone posted the haikus I would just say, "Sorry. I stand corrected." It's not hard to admit when you're wrong. It's the right thing to do.
