Proud of the player effort but nothing about this game makes sense …. Jack A plays like 30 minutes and plays well but might have gotten tired at some point - Walz played great as did Soulis but Soulis doesn’t play after 6 minute mark ... coaching again fails

Closing in on 20. You go Mooney.

The good news is we didn’t fall in the standings😉

 

[8legs]

did anyone actually think we would win ?

Down 5 with a minute to go and the Spiders arent even pressuring the basketball to try to get a TO. Let them run 20 seconds off the clock.

But, oh my, did we ever compete!

It was a surprisingly entertaining game as it looked like a blowout was in store after the first few minutes. Guys battled back to get within 3 at half and then actually took the lead late in the second half. Roller coaster scoring by both teams made it interesting. Of course, Spiders couldn’t defend the 3 and had trouble with defensive rebounding.

Walz was gassed at numerous times, but battled through as the substitution routine went AWOL. Dusan hurting his knee was a momentum killer and perhaps that was the black cloud for this game.

It was nice to see some solid backdoor makes. But a L is a L and the Spiders have plenty of them.

Unlocked a new way to lose: let your opponents shoot 50 threes!

Odd they took 109 shots (44 from 3). Vs our 78. We tied with turnovers 9. They had 5 more OR. They had 2 more steels, 2 more block and we committed 1 more foul. But they took 31 more shots?

Our 3point defense is laughable.

3’s are free.

Not sure what you are looking at they took 65 shots to our 60 shots.

You’re correct I add 3s to total my bad

 

[GKiller]

for sure .. he needs to be starting next year

For who? Why not now at the 4. Maybe us next year if we do that.

I like a lot of things about AP, but my god, he is just an awful shooter. Like really bad. Like he really shouldn't be allowed to do anything but attempt layups and dunks at this point. He's 26% from three and 33% overall. How can UConn guy be this bad?

Roche played 29 minutes and had 0 points. Love that instant offense he brings.

It's interesting how he got such a rep as a shooter. I remember seeing some footage of him as a freshman at uconn and he was bricking away in an empty gym. No tape of him from Greece. But the legend grew.
