Thought I would start it early. This 7 day waiting period between games is dragging so we need something to talk about.

 

[kansashusky]

All about the start tomorrow. Can we come out and defend for a full shot clock and not give up second chance points.

Seven days should be plenty of time to prep, scout, and put in new sets.

I hope to see some difference from the previous 5 games.

Definitely need to come out and throw the first punch for a change. These slow starts cannot become the norm.

Do you really think anything will change?

 

[UCweCONN]

Good news. No new injuries and KO is watching a Tony Robbins motivational video to prepare for the game. Maybe we'll have a lead in this game for once and it'll start a trend.

 

[Paesano]

We are already down 10......

 

[kansashusky]

I am hopeful. A week of practice can do a lot for a team.

That being said, when we come out and are down 16-6 at the first media timeout tomorrow, I will not be surprised.

We are already down 10.

Woe is me in full effect.

 

[August_West]

Thank God we are not playing BC it would be worse losing to them than BU

 

[August_West]

We are already down 10.

with 18:12 left in 1st half

 

[BUConn10]

BU will open the game with a 12-2 lead

 

[MexicoHusky]

I always enjoy the threads where everyone innocently (and sometimes not so innocently) teases Chief about Andre and the bi****s. Maybe we should talk about that.

Just a thought.

Post/Handle ?

Post/Handle ?

Yea I was speaking in the 3rd person.

 

[Kitaman]

I admire all the fans on the Yard who are eagerly looking forward to Wednesday's game a day early. I just hope the enthusiasm is higher than the expectations.

Doomed!

Oh I'll be at the civic center drinking tequila and cheering like heck to overcome our early 13 point deficit

It's November and people are already giving up on this team and looking at next year's squad. I'm not ready to give up on the squad. Let's get the W and get the train rolling for Syracuse.

Remember, UConn makes noise when people doubt us.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

The talent loss is staggering but even with 3 top100 recruits out you'd think what we have left should still steamroll teams like BU ( and NU and Wagner). Maybe they'll have a new sense of urgency and all that crap knowing these dudes aren't coming back. If we can play the rest of the season like the second half of the Oregon or OkSU games we'll be just fine. Lose to 2/3 of OSU/GTOWN/Cuse 3 league losses. Win at least a couple AACT games in Hartford and were on on our way with a 10 seed. Not what we wanted for this year but it is what it is.

Saw this and thought I missed the game

Agreed. But if we come out again like we have in the past few games with no fire or energy, fall behind and end up losing it will be disheartening. If that occurs, I think it will be trending towards a lost season.

 

[willie99]

are we losing 18-3 yet? that's seems to be our lucky number

 

[HuskyHawk]

Well we could at least post useful information about the actual game.

This concerns me

Boston Three Party: BU has taken 157 three-point shots in six games, or 26 per game, 44 percent of their total number of shots. UConn has had trouble defending the three-pointer this season, with opponents hitting 40.4 percent. So for the Huskies, getting back out to the perimeter to guard the three, and not getting broken down on defense to allow a wide open three, will be keys to winning the game.​

Thanks for that. Nobody should be going under any screens for anyone. This entire team is built on the 3.

Is this game being televised anywhere. Any reccos on how to watch?
