UConn Game Thread

[justinhub2003]

This is a game thread. No one is going to read it in a week. I don't care if it gets derailed. Stop playing victim.

Lololol

That said, yes, I’ll say it. UC needs to win out now.
Because it very much seems like the only tier 1 left on our schedule is Houston.
And they are giving work to WSU
If you guys wanna feel comfy on selection day with 1 tier win then be my guest.
One more loss and an auto bid is over
Weak bubble or not

We probably have two Q1 wins tomorrow morning, thanks to Houston's win that you were apparently rooting against. If we only lose once the rest of the way, we'll pick up at least 3 more quality wins. We'll be 10-6 in Q1/Q2 games. Even with 3 bad losses, that's definitely a tournament resume.

One things for sure is the conference is definitely down this yr, man... We were doing better the past few yrs but everybody knew before the switch up of everything we were supposed to win the conf this yr. Now they could win out somebody on the bench is going to have to give something we need more rotational balance but at a certain point we knew this team would be challenged hopefully we can finish this last part strong

Look guys. I’ve never mentioned any disses to Brannen. Didn’t mention our old coach

Didn’t say a damn thing except that our defense and rebounding sucked,

Coach said our defense and rebounding sucked.

Some guy must have a miserable life. I almost feel sorry for him.

 

[cincyguy13]

I haven’t mentioned that name once in this thread

Mods take note.

We have a thread trying to be derailed.

I’m not biting

You don’t mention micks name but you say the exact same stuff he says and constantly suggest brannen needs to change his system to be more like micks. You do that for sure.

Almost*...but I wouldn’t waste your time. Just a troll

 

[cincyguy13]

I’ll say this too.

We need a grad transfer big in the worst way next year.


Otherwise next season maybe the worst rebounding team has ever had with Tre gone

Need a big body

The guards need to rebound. Something people have been saying all year. Houston never has size but they rebound well. Go get the ball

 

[cincyguy13]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jarron struggle to get a shot off as much as he did today. UConn did a great job of taking Jarron and Vogt out of the game Tre stepped up but we really needed someone else that could break down their guy.

 

[cincyguy13]

Brannen should have used Harvey more. He looked useful defensively while he was in there. It’s really hard to defend McNeal ever playing.

Great job

Nice of you to show up to pile on

Great inputs to the message board.

Got my upvote


Lol hilarious that I’m the one that needs a life but you only chime in when it’s time to pile on me after a loss.

Bearcats culture is to play defense and rebound no matter where we are, home or away



And Brannen has Said we are defensive first. He said that. Not me.


And I said I’m disappointed in the defense on the road.

Never once said we need to play a match up zone like our old coaches plays.



Listen... if you inferred that I was saying John needed to be like our old coach because I’m asking him to get his teams to defend and rebound on the road, then that’s on you.

I’ve said it all season. I said it leading up to this game that I don’t like the direction of our defensive and rebounding effort on the road. It’s not like I’m piling on because we lost.

I’m saying I saw this kinda loss coming a mile away after the last two road games.


I feel like this board expresses its frustrations about the team and blames it on me. It’s absolutely strange.

It’s business as usual for me. For 5 seasons running I’ve critiqued the team after wins and losses. I literally am doing what I’ve always done as passionate fan.

You told me the last 3 games we’d go 2-1 I’d take it in a heartbeat, I was at the game, UConn’s crowd was great, tough loss, puts us in a tough spot the rest of the way, but still feel like the teams playing well and will have an opportunity to win the conference tourney, really small chance imo we get in at large.

 

[cincyalum2014]

It honestly just sucks because that is a game where if Jarron plays 5% better we win, even with the officiating, home crowd, the buffoon that is Danny Hurley giving up 18 offensive rebounds... I know Jarron was extremely efficient dishing out assists but he shot 1-11 and when we needed him he just wasn’t there and those games happen but it still sucks because we had multiple chances to win that game. This one hurts and hopefully doesn’t come back to bite us in the ass

Colgate Tulane and bowling green will bite us in the ass

ESPN has us as first four out. If we miss the tournament because of these 3 games I’ll be pissed. The refs should’ve never called that foul at the end of the Colgate game. If Cumberland is in at the end of the BG game we win.

 

[justinhub2003]

We just need to win the conference tourney. It’s the only way to take it out if the committees hands.

It would be ridiculous if this conference only gets one team in

At the end of the game we kept going to Jarron for something that wasn't working the whole game unless he passed the ball. Most of those times he didn't even come close to putting a ball close to the basket. The plays we drew up were not very good.

We had plenty of chances to win this game. I put this one on the coach and the definition of insanity. We kept doing the same thing over and over with the same results. It worked in many games but it wasn't working in this one. It would have been one thing if we could have gotten Jarron driving on his right side but he went left too often and the D collapsed on him every time...we should have kicked those out on some possessions to whoever was open.

I think we have one loss to give now and that will likely be in Houston but stranger things have happened. It's too hard in conference to expect to run the table so we have our work cut out. Lose one max and win a couple in the tourney.
