Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 3022905, member: 73"] Have we hit rock bottom yet??? We beat Cinn by 40+ and barely will yesterday. There is something wrong. The kids need to get back to basic fundamentals. Is it to late for that at this point in the season? Only Geno knows what wrong and we are all guessing from frustration. It is very apparent that UConn is depending to much on KLS ND and CD to carry them. Shooting under 40% 2 games in a row explains one big problem and nobody is picking the team up. Its like a team flu and everybody has it. The non starters are not exerting themselves as scoring options therefore no need to guard them so its 3 on 5. Our defense is not what we're accustomed to seeing from UConn. Everybody is not on the same page and thus we are not operating as the well oiled machine we are used to seeing in UConn. We are in a terrible slump and its not going away. I cant see us playing much worse then yesterday. The Bottom Line is we Cannot Score from the Outside. Its not one or two things its alot of things that are causing it and it almost seems that we are spirolling downwards. Its not getting better its getting worse. The good news is it can get much worse before it gets better. You can tell Geno is frustrated. He is the best and he's doing everything he can but this team for some reasons isnt hitting their outside shots. I dont see alot of smiling faces either . As fans all we can do is support our team until they get back on track. We are going to have to accept them for what they are right now because there is nothing we can do to change where they are. Sometimes you have an off games. This is bigger then that and has been going on for to long. IMO only a great defense can change the direction we headed into and our defense is not what we've seen UConn play in the past. We are missing too many assignments and too many opponents are left wide open. So we have to wait it out. Be patient and wait it out. We are too good too talent and coached to well for this to last much more. [/QUOTE]
