the feed is soo jittery, starting/stopping, it's giving me motion sickness. And it seems to be 6 minutes behind twitter.

 

[SAMCRO]

UConn up 1-0 in 61st minute.

 

[SAMCRO]

Tied at 1 in 71st minute. UMBC tied it up in 62nd min.

 

[SAMCRO]

UConn back up 2-1 w/ goal in 74th minute.

 

[junglehusky]

2-2. Dayum.

Listening on whus.org since it's actually live.

2 LEADS. Late in game. They allegedly have a great goal tender. And he gives BOTH of them up.

This despite the fact they usually lose these games due to lack of offense, not defense.

I have never seen a program more ill prepared to handle "the moment" of games than this one.

WHUS color commentator makes a mixed metaphor... "they can breathe a sigh of fresh air" after UMBC's free kick at the end of regulation goes high.

Anyway we're going to OT.

I distinctly remember being in press conferences with Reid after some of his 1-0 losses. He would make a point complaining that the other team would just drop everyone back and not play them making it too difficult to score after they fell down.

I believe that is called tactical coaching and strategy. And something UConn couldn't do with a 1-0 and 2-1 2nd half lead with best goalkeeper in the country protecting the net.

The second goal wasn't Blake's fault. We gave up a soft corner by not defending up the right side and having to tackle the ball over the line. Then there was a guy unmarked at the far post inside the top of the six who just headed it in. Poor marking on a set piece. It didn't feel close enough to the line where you can say the GK should be controlling that area, but it was close enough where an uncontested header was a clear defensive breakdown by someone.

I didn't see the first goal due to struggling with the choppy feed.

The first goal was a near-perfect free kick into the corner of the net over the wall; and Blake almost had it. UMBC is a team with only two losses and is ranked #5 in the coaches poll, and we're playing them at their house. But there is a certain someone that doesn't care who the opponent is or how our team is playing, because he's a spoiled brat...

EDIT: Pardon me, UMBC only has 1 loss, not 2.

Here we go again...

 

[junglehusky]

THE CURSE IS OVER!!! THE CURSE OF.... WHOEVER CURSED US IS OVER!!!!

 

[Gurleyman]

It's a Thanksgiving miracle! We win on PKs!

Now lets go to UCLA with house money and play with no pressure on our backs.

 

[ASweet3781]

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

I know I'm tough on them and whiney but god damn it it's BECAUSE I CARE!

TRIP TO LA!

What a sports weekend, someone call the Big Ten.

 

[SAMCRO]

Moment handled! On to LaLa land and #1 UCLA

edit... Come on Elon!

 

[junglehusky]

Payback for Tyus Edney / Ed O'Bannon coming up...

I'd almost rather go to UCLA with no pressure than play Elon at home with "must win" expectations.

Nah - that's a little too crazy. Go Elon.

 

[UConnDan97]

Payback for Tyus Edney / Ed O'Bannon coming up...

I think the payback for that was the three national titles we've won after that point in hoops, as compared to their 0...(who cursed whom?)...

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Glad UConn won, even though the feed from America East was almost as aggravating as going to PK's again.

Definitely too crazy. This was a great weekend for UConn sports. And go UConn!

UCLA and Elon play at 11pmET. If UCLA wins we play them out in LA and if Elon wins we play home.
