UConn Game Thread II

[BenningtonBluejay]

Missing the Green FT was a bad idea.

6 in one hand half dozen in the other. Either way you go about it the odds of winning in those situations is like <1%

That one just feels wrong to lose lmao. Had everything break our way - big lead (extended when Ash was out) and unreal amount of foul calls against UCONN. Blew it, and got beat by a single player. Would've chalked this as a loss 2 months ago, not so much after each team's last weeks. Doesn't defeat what this team just did over the last month. Comfortably in the tourney. But man we could've played up to the 5 and maybe 4 line.

Hey, there should have been more fouls against UConn. They were hacking the crap out of us and LM got away with some offensive fouls.

And don’t look past the possibility of winning against STJ (which would help seeding) after getting a bit more rest to heal up before Sunday’s game. Yes, it will be a bitch to win but it’s possible especially if they rest up in time.

Agree with ya. Always rooting for Ws. Win out into the BE tourney and we're probably right on that 5-6 cutline given how other teams would likely do over that time. Lose that St Johns game and I will be secretly hoping for a tank job into the 11 line (solely from what we know this team can do). I don't want this team to be subjugated to the 7-10, they deserve better than that

I do agree it's hindsight but still
..I'd choose to make it 100% of the time. More likely to make and get a miss on the other end than miss, get the board and get a 3.

Fedor with 6 points in 8 minutes.

With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, it sure feels like he should have played more.

Agreed. Miller was a disaster.

Interesting that we extended the lead to 14 with Ty Davis running PG for about 8 minutes. Ashworth didn’t appear to like having a longer guy guarding him on the perimeter.

I didn't like Mac's strategy during the game much less the end. But giving up way more shots won't ever get it done. One team was hungry. One was fat and happy. Still 8-3 vs uconn Dan.

[SeattleJay]

19 shot deficit. You will lose those games.

We did shoot 30 FT’s to their 15 FT’s which is part of the explanation

We were -7 in offensive rebound differential and -4 in turnover differential

[HinkyDinky]

I just don’t get what Miller is bringing to the table. Cannot shoot, pass, or get to the rim. I guess defense but I’m not seeing it anywhere near the level it should be to make up for offensive woes, especially when Jays can’t score.

1620 the Zone reporting some type of altercation after the game
