The UConn Thread...

The guy we had wasn't putting out real money compared to what other guys or entities were doing.

Didn't he give Moore a sizeable chunk?

Soooo freaking negative man. We could still go on a run this year! There was some good defense from the team against Texas and Texas tech. We outrebounded tech and were only 5 off of Texas, and they were both teams with serious athletes. People are still acting like the only games we have played are lemoyne Colgate and Youngstown State. We saw the ceiling is higher with this team after the last two games.

End of the day we lost to two unranked teams on a neutral court.

Look at price of Carvana on that date.
If you bought 1000 shares for $6000…. You’d have…. Today.

Lol, couldn’t have happened to a more nasty coach and fan base.

AP rankings are your metric? If you still look at AP top 25 polls, I don’t know how to help you. They’re both around top 30 in KenPom and other efficiency metrics. They’re both good teams this year.

Hurley probably got UConn banned from
Maui as long as he’s the coach with his antics.

Getting a lot of pre anger management Andy Bernard vibes out of Hurley.

Is there no difference between barely beating garbarge teams at home and putting up a strong fight against pretty good ones? I would call what we saw in Brooklyn PROGRESS! It is better to almost beat Texas and Texas tech than it is to nearly lose at home to freaking Lemoyne! Now everyone is wallowing in misery talking about how we nobody can play defense or offense and the coaches are trash and the whole team is trash. As if we were not a couple foul shots from winning that Texas game! As if it was just a continuation of the first three games with nothing different. It was so much freaking better!

We have freshman getting up to speed, and are still trying to find the optimal lineups with new faces, like every team. UConn is still finding what works too with their new roster. They will improve. Why in the hell can't we?? I say we will!!!

Getting all of the disclaimers out of the way - UConn is a great program and he is a great coach and yes I am jealous of their success - but yes I can see this not ending well if Danny doesn't get control of himself a little better. Not sure if it's a Knight situation where he's a jerk off the court also, but it really seems like he goes beyond the normal anger during games.

He freaked out on the refs after their loss to Colorado as well. Does anyone have video of him falling down after the call on Monday night?

I bet that would be funny to watch.

I would be pissed if I was a UCONN fan, why can't I be pissed we went 0-2 in Brooklyn?

I'm not applauding an 0-2 effort with some pats on the back with the way some of these clowns played.

Cheer the progress that's fine, but this isn't a good team.

What if they keep progressing? What it those guys who played poorly play better or get reduced minutes in favor of better guys? They already took one step forward! Why not take a couple more? It is the complete and total giving up on here that is getting to me.

I must think we're a lot farther behind than you do. I don't think we have one consistent player on the team and our defense will never allow is to be good.

This could keep progressing and still be a .500 team.

I have never been or probably never will be a Knight fan, but even after he crossed the line and was fired, he still went on to be hired by Texas Tech and coached there six or seven seasons and then worked at ESPN.

Though it's a different world now with social media and a lot softer generation, it will be interesting if parents keep sending their top ranked kids to Hurley. And he was a hot commodity for the Lakers wanting to hire him after last season, it will be interesting if he takes an NBA offer after this season. I can't see these guys coaching 40 years in college now the way the landscape is.
