UConn

[Patrick Bateman]

I love how every team we face this year has a career day from 3 point range. I guess that's not a point of emphasis... In any game.

It happens too often to just be a coincidence

It's not a surprise. It's our defense. We have guys scrambling around not actually guarding people of interest.

troy better leave that locker room early and find that shot

 

[Patrick Bateman]

UC guards 4-18

UC gets 5 quick fouls on UConn then stops attacking and starts shooting 3's

But they are shooting from 5 steps behind the 3 point line

 

[UCalum08]

9 turnovers that first half....woof. Same old same old shit that first half. Mixed in with our questionable defense, I don't see us winning.

 

[GarradJ21]

How are they just gonna bang for 3s like that. Its getting old with this type of stuff. We look better honestly, our shots just need to start falling

I too think we looked better for most of the half.

If it didn't happen every game I would chalk that up as killing it far beyond the 3 pt line. I used to want UC to play a zone more often in years past. Now it just seems to give shooters that wide open rhythm

yeah that dude's comment is not good. we've given up one clean, open look - from the corner, and they clanked it. these last 4 were trash and had nothing to do with the defense.

God is still mad about Huggs

a shot from 5 feet behind the line with a defender on you is not wide open.

My thoughts exactly. I hope it evens out in the second half. I do agree with those saying that it happens too often to us however.

 

[JordanW]

So your saying the zone doesn't give up wide open outside shots ? I'm not specifically referring to this game. I'm talking about the season as a whole. No lead is too big for UC because of this.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Gotta keep pushing it this half.

Can't be Huggs he is doing good at WVU

But the thing is, im not sure you can blame any of those 3's on bad defense. All well well beyond the arc. None corner 3's like earlier in the season. Earlier in the game, we covered the line well but they made crazy shots

 

[BCM]

No no He's mad about the ousting.

yes, poor grammar aside, that is what i am saying.

communication in the match up zone and then passing off guys to one another while pointing it out is not frantic. you think it looks that way, but it's an organized process.

We need to take better care of the ball and hit a few shots and we can pull this out. 9 TO's in a half won't get it done.
