UC versus Georgetown:pregame, game, postgame thread

[RedlegZdid]

Remember UCONN won the national title as the 8th or 9th place team in this conference. We will be a tough out in March. The season is not over.

This is very concerning we could very very easily lose the next 4 games especially with the next two on the road. They need to improve something on offense right now or this season is down the drains.

28 games in. It is what it is

Good effort tonight, but when you leave 13 points at the line, its gonna be tough to win any game. Good to see us hang in there til the end tho with the hottest tean in the big east.

Good effort? Man, I must be watching a completely different team.

Agreed. People act like we are 10 games under. We are definitely not playing well but I can't stand the pessimism. All is not lost.

 

[cincycpaw]

Cronin didn't miss any shots tonight and had his team in position to win if they had executed. No need for a scapegoat, it was a team loss.

Lots of scapegoats

 

[JackBauer151]

Really? They play with no heart. Only Parker showed some and no one else fed off of it. It's a very sad, sad team

You said they play with no heart. How did I misread that?

It doesn't matter what the team did, the coach is ultimately responsible - win or lose! Just like in real life, the boss gets fired when the workers screw up.

Any team can get hot.... But it's getting late for this team to change. They seem to be what they have been all year.

He can't tell the difference between effort and execution.

this!

why i felt tonight was a must win. we could go from a 3 seed(early in the year) to flat out missing the tourney.

 

[cincycpaw]

Only Parker..... Read the rest. They came back because of Parker.

He was playing inspired ball during that stretch and no one else on that team fed off his emotion at all. It's like they are zombies. Oh well, they are what they are. Get hot from 3 and they can beat anyone, problem is it will only happen about 10% of the time.

There was never a reason to take a 3 point shot in the last 4 minutes of the game. Lubick, Porter, Starks, and Hopkins each had 4 fouls - Trawick with 3 at that point.

Idiotic idiots.

Oh yeah, we were in the freaking bonus with about 8 minutes left in the game.

Lol. Early exit.

 

[JackBauer151]

I did read the rest Parker did not block all of those shots and get every rebound or play defense 1 on 5. Scoring does not equal heart. Our guys fought hard tonight. They obviously have offensive shortcomings but they play as hard as any team in the country night in and night out. Just blind if you dont see that.

• We are tied for 8th (9th with the tie breaker) in the Big East.
• Three of five remaining games are on the road.
• It's an overall non-impressive year for the "power conferences".
• And the team is not making progress.

We are squarely on the bubble.

Playing with heart is useless 9 times out of 10 if you don't play with brains.

Standing around for half the game is not playing hard. They haven't given a complete game effort for a long time. Don't know what you are watching.

 

[RedlegZdid]

Wait until the tournament when we play a Pac-12, SEC or big 12 team. The big east has like 9/15 of the top defenses in the country.
