Perspective

[hoopsupstate]

People are upset and quick to judge Red. Fans have a right to question what’s going on. It’s part of the game. It’s not just here, but everywhere. UCONN has talent, but just lost three straight games to three unranked teams. Hurley can no longer coach? I know he won two national championships, but his first three years were not that good. He was trying to establish his culture and how he wanted to play. We saw last night with Freeman, Choppa and Petar. These are the kind of players Red is recruiting. After the first ten minutes last night we were twenty points better than Cornell. I think they are better than Colgate. We did this without Eddie almost the entire night. Red and his staff probably thought his lineups for this team might be different and they are now going to have to rethink things. We’re already seeing a change in rotations. I still think this team has the makeup of being pretty good. They need time because our freshman are the future. The three freshman along with Eddie and JJ have the potential to be good. Sprinkle in a few guys off the bench and we’ll be competitive. Bell could be a difference maker, but not the way he’s currently playing. Give Red credit for sitting him and Carlos for most of the second half. It’s still a long ways before the league schedule, besides the early ND game. Not many teams scare you in the ACC. You never know what might happen. I have faith in this staff. I know I can be critical, but in the past three games there has been really good stretches of play. We need consistency in all parts of the game. Time will tell. Happy Thanksgiving and let’s go and beat Miami on Saturday. We should be thankful for Fran too and Kyle too

I am not sure Eddie will ever be able to play again. He is badly hurt. Poor guy. Poor us.

The injury rate for our centers, going back to AO, is shockingly high.

Red said exactly the opposite last night.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Red and Eddie both said he’ll play against Tennessee.

4/4 awful performances against the worst teams on the schedule come down to coaching. Enough talent to be OK in the ACC but baring a win against Tennessee we have no shot at a bid to the dance.

This isn't acceptable. Returning players are poor defensively and all seemed to get worse.

But yeah if your cool with NIT and 18-15 type records sure it's not that bad the sky isn't falling etc.

Me?? Hell, no. This board is as close to being “in the know” as I ever get.

I explained myself in another thread. Back injuries are hard to heal. You need time and not to keep doing what you did in the first place. I hope he gets better!
