Official Boneyard / UConn Thread.

[Orangezoo]

UCONN lacks the perimeter plays it’s had the past couple of years. Memphis is tough. Leading 68-58 with 7:57 left.

UConn had two dominant teams back to back. It’s really hard to do that 3 yrs in a row. Still solid but they are taking a step back this year which isn’t a knock just a likely reality given all they lost.

 

[cusefan88]

They both play the "you can't call a foul every possession" defense. I appreciate the consistency.

 

[hoopsupstate]

McNeely is really struggling with the physicality of Memphis. Memphis has some men playing. They take no prisoners when they go to rebound. Their two guards are fearless and tough. Well see if they can hold on. Memphis leads by ten with three minutes left.

 

[hoopsupstate]

82-82 after a prayer three from the puppies. 1.2 left. OT coming.

 

[Cuse99&01]

Memphis player got caught ball watching that left the guy open for three. Memphis really gave it away down the stretch of regulation.

 

[hoopsupstate]

UCONN’s Johnson just total head case.

 

[Cuse99&01]

UCONN’s Johnson just total head case.

Offsetting technicals just saved him

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Dan Hurley is a real POS.

 

[Cuse99&01]

Dan Hurley is a real POS.

Way too lose your cool and get T'd up with 40 sec left in a tie game

 

[NineOneSeven]

Lol classic.

Both teams so beyond us, especially UConn. It’s so alarming.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Memphis has four new starters from the portal. They have an NIL vault and it shows. They have some studs.

 

[NineOneSeven]

If that last 3 went in I would have jumped off my roof

 

[hoopsupstate]

Memphis pulls it off 99-97. Two good teams. Big time talent on both teams.

4 of their starters have been to at least 3 schools and the 5th start has been to 2.

"College" basketball is an absolute joke.

Memphis also just barely beat San Francisco

Yeah. They had a 13 point lead with 5 1/2 minutes left. How do you give up that lead?.

It is. But also further proof that you don't need 3-4 years to re-build.

Been that way for years between SU and top teams. Glad others are taking notice.

 

[DilemaCuse]

Similar to how SU gave up and 8 PT lead w 1 min to play against ysu?

 

[hoopsupstate]

Yeah. They had a 13 point lead with 5 1/2 minutes left. How do you give up that lead?.

Because you’re playing the two time defending national champ who knows how to win and doesn’t give up. They made three huge threes down the stretch.

 

[orange79]

Similar to how SU gave up and 8 PT lead w 1 min to play against ysu?

TBF, I had the same question when we played YSU.

 

[Cuse99&01]

Yeah. They had a 13 point lead with 5 1/2 minutes left. How do you give up that lead?.

Or the 11 point lead with 2:45 left. Or the 5 point lead with 40 sec left.

Love how people say every team has an NIL vault but us. Memphis isn’t in the big10 or sec. Where do they get the $$ from? Why can’t SU get $$. Cuse is a rich kid school. wheres the money?

99 pct of the time this is true. There are a few heavy hitters but by the time cuse catches up, they are already behind by a mile unfortunately… even right now the melo center is starting to feel old
