What a freakin' horror show

[Palatine]

The guys we needed to play well, spit the bit. In a season of embarrassments, this was up there with Wagner.

Vital 3-14,
Adams 2-10, 5 TO, 2 assists.
Polley 0-3, no points, 1 rebound, 3 TOs

The entire second half was garbage time.

"The vibes are still good."

That was an actual Kevin Ollie post-game quote tonight....Unreal.

All across the country UCONN fans are putting their UCONN gear into their bottom drawer and shaking their heads. Just embarrassing. But with "good vibes".Ollie is Diaco 2.0.

The way Ollie rationalizes these debacles is amazing..
Its like the Captain of the TITANIC, post iceberg collision states to the passengers..."Good news people, we just opened a new swimming pool on the lower level"

For clarification, the the question asked if the vibes were still good with the players in terms of the NCAA investigation.

EDIT - Ollie didn't say this:

“We just got embarrassed for 40 minutes. I hope the vibes AREN’T good. My job is to get them back to being good and winning will do that. But no, the vibes ain’t real good right now.” Was that not an option?

Later on Ollie said:

He didn't say that second part.

That was Sonova's response to Fishy stating that there wasn't any other way to answer that question.

damn, and here I thought he turned the corner...

The spin in the post-game pressers is the most obvious tell that he knows he's in over his head.

Someone confident in what they're doing would be willing to candidly appraise the situation.

That’s what Diaco would of said too

Game put me in a bad mood. It’s what Diaco would have said. Minor point.

I don’t know why everyone is upset over whatever KO says or answers to after a blowout. He’s had a lot of them and there are many more to come. We all have known this was bad well more than a month ago, and I wonder what the players themselves think after these blowouts?

 

[Husk1881]

What Kills me is the team going for ally oops and the end of the game being down 24. It just shows a lot about what's going on with the teams priorities. Every game we lose by these margins, we are done 36 and Ollie keeps all the starters in and we close the massive gap to 20 so it's looks a little better on paper. It's frustrating.

 

[Hoophound]

It is frustrating, but honestly, can you stomach losing by 40 or even 50? He should sit Jalen at that point, but if he does, what happens might be more brutal than we can stand.

Baseball season is starting. Make UCONN great again.

I like your post especially the last sentence. I also wonder what the players think after last night. Are they saying "Coach sucks"? "We as players suck"? "I could of played better"? "Coach should of called timeout at the ......." I would give anything to find out what they are thinking or saying. I would love to find out if any player is blaming themselves. I cannot figure this team out. They win 3 in a row. Who takes credit for the mini run. Players? coaches? Then the next game they crap the bed bad. So, who takes credit for that? It is hard for me to believe that Ollie would coach very good in wins, but decide "Hell I am not coaching tonight"? Or the players really do not want to play.

If I am not mistaken, didn't Jalen take credit for 50% of the turnovers in the first half? 4 or 5 I think.

The players we count on, had awful first halves.
