I mean I don't know if it was a coaching mistake or a player mistake, but it's a pretty big mistake to leave Ellis 1v1 on Boatright on the perimeter. That's a nightmare scenario.

Exactly. KJ should of recognized that.

JackBauer151 · Mar 13, 2015

From Savino on the radio: The staff thought UCONN would use Brimah as the screen man for Boatright so they put Shaq on him. UCONN noticed it and used Hamilton instead. That created the mismatch with Boatwright and Ellis. Smart move. Im off to take a bath and drop a plugged in toaster in the water. Wont be in as much pain as I feel right now. Jesus this season's losses have been brutal.

Again tough loss but a positive was I saw something in TC tonight that I hadn't seen before. He hit the big 3 and drove the lane 3 times, twice getting mugged and the third time hisenetration allowed the put back by Shaq.

Also that's the hardest I've seen Shaq play all year.

Hopefully those two will grow from this game and it helps us in tourney.

I feel you. I really really hope this doesn't screw UC after the way the commitee did SMU last year. I will probably go buy a gun

Hurts to much to see positives right now.

KJ had nothing to do with that. He could have double but that would of left his man open.

You really think anyone but Boatright was taking that last shot??

You cant let Boatwright go 1 on 1 with Ellis. Total mismatch. Give UCONN credit for recognizing Ellis guarding Hamilton but you have to make somebody else beat you.

Kids played hard Jeff. Just came up short. The road hasn't been kind to us this year but the kids never quit. Huskies needed this game on their floor and escaped with a win on a shot by a big time player.

If this loss pushes us off the 8/9 seed line then I would feel much better about it on Sunday. Much rather have a 10 or 11 and avoid the 1 seed.

we had our biggest defender out on him and he slipped. If he doesn't he has to shoot over a guy who has a 7 ft wing span.

The way UConn played the last 13.5 seconds was awful in it's own right. They took WAY too much time getting the ball up the court and basically forced themselves into that specific shot. Boatright isn't likely to ever pass in that situation (watch the end of the memphis game where he forced one of the worst shots ever with 2 guys standing wide open) but I'm not sure he would have had time to pass and them get a shot off. And even if they did, it stops Boatright from beating you.

Waite he did not slip. He got crossed the F over by the best player in the league. That was not what we wanted. Ellis vs Boatright has nightmare written all over it.

Our punishment will continue by getting the 8/9 game with UK following.

Wow just wow. Can't shake this. UConn has hit 22 threes the last two nights.
