UConn go home again

[GoldenEagles03]

They were slightly better when it mattered most. Like they usually are.

Tough loss. That one hurts.

[GB Warrior]

What a waste of a good defensive performance. No ability to secure loose balls and a terrible decisions to help off Karaban.

This is who we are and it's why we won't last long in March

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Who leaves him wide open?  Ben Gold of course.  Dude blows

🤡 🤡 🤡

[IL Warrior]

Have you seen Karaban shoot threes this year?

34% this year
40% this game before that shot
37% career

He makes wide open 3s, unlike our entire team.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Played our asses off.

See the complete dickheads are showing up.

[Billy Hoyle]

Typical that their guy makes a 3 and Kam bricks. Missed 3s is the tale of our season. What a pathetic but predictable end. 1-4 against decent teams in conference

Kamm didn't need to shoot that three. Drive, get a bucket only down two, play the FT game. He made good decisions all night until then

[bradforster]

Why leave karraban

Gold with the worst decision of the game.  He left the deadliest late game UConn shooter to double a guy who was in no position to score. 

[warriors141]

Calling it pathetic is idiotic.

Okay, true. Great effort? Who the heck have they beat that is quality in conference in the last month plus....no one. Gotta win against the Jhonnies

[BCHoopster]

Kam is so good but his shot from outside is as broken as Tre Norman, to bad. Jop played great but this team is so frustrating because against a good team they shoot threes like crap.  3-21 or 22 does not win games.  Ben is taking out of games.  Have to figure out how to get him open.

[bradforster]

If you can't hit open threes, and we missed too many to count, you're not advancing far in the tournament.  The easiest three in basketball is the corner pocket triple.  Stevie missed wide open corner shots that killed MU tonight.  Kam missed free throws.  You don't shoot, you don't win.  Defense - blah blah blah.  How about an ability to hit a shot?

[Daniel]

44-29 on rebounds.... That hurts.   Guys layer hard the whole way.   Just could not hit threes.     Hit a few more we win.  3 of 22 is tough.

[Warrior of Law]

Dominated on the glass and putrid from 3. Still had a chance to win due entirely to Kam. Ross has been a total non factor in conference play.

Yeah Jop was pretty good tonight too.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Would not have left Karaban the hot player in the game 21 points to double Reed who had 4 points with the game on the line. Would have made Reed beat us. And even if Reed would have scored it is a 3 point game. And we have the ball with the dot clock off.

Reed had Mitchell all over him. He wasn't scoring.

Now could we have gotten the rebound?

[Viper]

Gotta know the situation (don't allow a 3) and personnel (don't let Karaban get an open...3). Gold had a brain fade, it seems. But 3/22 from 3 is diabolically bad. So it doesn't come down to one play or one guy. Chase...is he banged up? Need him to do more in these games. I thought Zaide had a break out at Nova...need a little more there too.
Saturday becomes huge. I'm assuming we'll play X in a 4/5 next week. Would that be a must win if Saturday is a loss? Not sure if the BE gets 4 or 5 bids.

The next two+ games are about seeding.

We are an absolute lock for the tourney.

Agree another reason not to double down Reed has Stevie though shorter is one of the Big East Defenders of the year on him. Reed was not scoring. True about the rebound though feel Jop could and would have have crashed the glass had Ben stayed on Karaban. Frustrating. Let's Beat Saint John's.
