I have no words.

Yeah, that team. 41 points. Do you get my point?

I watched a little bit of it. Lemoyne was able to beat their guys off the dribble too. The difference was, they rotated with sound help defense. Yukon had three or four bigs who were willing to slide over and contest the layup. They were quicker and more athletic than our big guys and made it look easy. The other thing they did was switch on screens. It allowed someone to always be in front of their player rather than chasing him. But again, they have the athletes to do it, and it’s easier to do if you have a rim protector.

also, Lemoyne missed a lot of the open threes they made against us. Yukon frustrated them and took them out of the game mentally which we weren’t able to do.

but watching this, it made it very apparent just how bad our help defense really is, and our defensive scheme in general. Freeman, Lumpkin, and Davis in 76 minutes yesterday, had a total of one foul. No aggression. No one even tries to rotate. How can it be possible that we have three bigs (two of them veterans), who have no instinct on how to rotate or have never been expected to do it?

if we can’t get this figured out, we are going to have to play zone and live and die by three-point shooting. Texas, Tennessee will score 100, all at the rim if we don’t.

Le moyne was 9 of 25, not like they shot lights out

Yeah trying to compare UConn to Syracuse and the point differential. Cuse doesn’t belong even remotely close to a comparison of back to back Champs.. Cuse won by 2. UConn won by 41. UConn is that good and Cuse has a long way to go. But the amount of talking after a win about how bad the team is is already old and it never ends

Don't be shocked if Yukon wins another NC this year. They are that good with lots of new players, and they are just going to get better as the season progresses. We don't deserve to be compared to them. And we should get better as well as we also have a bunch of new players. Fortunately, our coaches and players haven't written off the season.

It’s a valid comparison. I wanted to know if Lemoyne was better than we thought after that game. I don’t care that It was another great UConn team. 41 points! Now I know…..Lemoyne stinks.

It's truly shocking stuff they just won back to back. Flash back to 2017...

If we played them tomorrow we could lose by 40 too. Four new starters, transfers and frosh but they look pretty cohesive on O and on D. And this was a game where they missed a bunch of open looks they made last year. They play really well as a team. The game they have coming up against Gonzaga will tell if they are as good as last year. Makes me glad I am old and view Georgetown as the biggest rival. The UCONN rivalry fans must be sick about how far below them we are today. There is hope, hoops does not take as long as football to become really good.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

We softened’em up for UConn.

Interesting. I didnt watch. Is it your takeaway that means it’s not necessarily completely on the guys for not being physically able to stay in front and also relates to coaching not demanding correct positioning and help? Honest question.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Le Moyne was paid $95k for their appearance. My only feelings on this game.

 

[PhatOrange]

forget UConn, LeMoyne lost to Cal State Northridge by 22 points 97-75.

 

[TheHaze315]

So you’re telling me, the back to back defending national champions are vastly superior to us in virtually every facet of the game? Color me shocked.

 

[atlanticuse]

But our coaching is superior

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

This comparison shouldn't be about point differential or UConn being back to back champions. They have a bunch of new pieces as well, and the way SU and UConn played on defense says a lot about coaching. When you have an SU team that doesn't even try to get back on D and the coaches are just as apathetic, well... that's something that shouldn't even happen at the modified or JV level. It seems to explain a lot about the team.

 

[Scooch]

Checks out. UConn is 20X better than SU.

I'm old enough to remember when people here said UConn's program was finished because they weren't in a P5 conference.

Those people were stupid as hell.

 

[Bayside44]

Yeah, that team. 41 points. Do you get my point?

Hurley's in his 7th year running that program. I would assume your post means have patience.

In fairness they (and me) said that about the AAC. Hurley did too.

No one can look at a Big East team and say that.

No, it means I'm very sad right now.

 

[Bayside44]

No, it means I'm very sad right now.

Just trying to give you something to look forward to.

That program had a plan and stuck to it. Hurley's first two years stunk (3rd year impossible to really know with the covid) and he didn't get run off.

uconn plays d. Uconn finished the game out as well. It was 20pt or so game mid 2nd half and Uconn continued the push to 40 long after Lemoyne had quit.

For sure, now they say that about the BE. Folks were definitely down on that conference back in the day though. Not a lot of love for the future of Villanova back then.

I get it, it was tough to see how non-P5 football schools could carve out their niche a decade ago.
