And their best player. This is perhaps a two or three possession game without him. He totally shut Holmes down.
Yeah unless they get dysfunctional or have injuries UConn will be tough for anyone.
Very encouraged by what I saw from lipsey tonight. That is exactly what we need from him. Don't force it but take what they give him offensively.
I’m pretty sure Darius and joe are the same person. Or at least share their mom’s basement. ******* internet clowns.
We didn’t have a player with a hot hand. The shoots didn’t look good and the energy level was low. Just like against TCU, we were mentally beaten down…
He’s a dumbass who should be banned from the site. Just an obnoxious, negative troll who can’t actually enjoy life.
If he throws that down we might get the steam up to see out the end of the game. That’s what I was talking about with Hunter as a playmaker earlier and some boomer came back at me with “he wasn’t a playmaker look at his assists and turnover numbers”. That’s not what it’s about and that’s an obvious tell of a person that didn’t play basketball or was very ****** at playing basketball.
Those will be good wins come March. You get one of St John’s and Iowa and finish 10-2 in non-conference then we are in great shape. 18-13 will get them in the tourney in the best conference in the nation.
About the only good thing that come from this game. Hopefully TL learns this team is going to need him to contribute offensively for them to be better.
There were 3 or 4 poorly executed fast breaks, as limited as we are we have to cash those in. Teachable moments.
As others have said, your constant pessimism is a blight on this forum. **** off with your ********.
We seemed to get sped up too often. I don’t think it would’ve mattered much, but when we did get it to 5, we really should’ve taken a timeout and got us to relax a bit. We tried pushing too hard and ended up being silly with the ball for two straight possessions and basically the game was sealed after that. No shame, just a tough opponent.
The foul situation (not blaming the refs at all) I think played into our game. With the quick foul trouble, we got guys who were hesitant and we couldn’t rotate like we wanted to at times. Same thing happened in the women’s game but I’m the 3rd quarter instead. Need to clean that up some. Don’t give the cheap stuff
Fortunately, we all have the option to manage our own expectations and our reactions to how the season ultimately goes.
Unfortunately, many will not allow themselves to simply be disappointed and then just move on to the next. They have to want to burn it all down.
