people go to the chatroom during the gameHas everyone just about given up.
I think the whole fanbase is shellshocked. Our team is terrible but that's not what has caused major depression to settle in, it's the fact that we are somehow stuck in this joke of a conference. Our games now have less juice than many high school games around the country. Our conference is terrible and somehow we play down to whatever crud team you throw at us. UConn games used to be an event for us, something to look forward to and help you get through a rough work day. I almost dread game days now, I'm still compelled to watch because I'm a diehard fan but I know it will leave me feeling depressed watching our performance and the realization that we are stuck in a basketball purgatory.

Can't wait to watch Mayweather dominate Pacquiao with one arm tied behind his back.Well, we can console ourselves with the abundance of talent on the team, secure in the knowledge that we have the best back court in the country.
I think it is that or drink heavily and I gave that up for Lent. Maybe I should have given up the BY.Why come on the board during the game and listen to everyone whine about the refs, make the same usual complaints and say we suck. I avoid the board at all costs during games.
In fairness to Nolan, Brimah can't do at least 3 of those things....Brimah is the player that UConn can least afford to sit on the bench. With him on the floor they're better than any AAC team except SMU. With Nolan on the floor instead of Brimah, this team can (and has) lose to the worse teams in the AAC.
Let's hope that Brimah plays 20 minutes in the 2nd half. If AB must come out, put Facey at center.
Questions! Can Enoch hold onto the ball? Can he get a rebound? Can he get more than 2 inches off the floor? Is he capable of a dunk? Can block a shot once a season? Can he play more than 15 minutes without fouling out? Can he make a guard actually worry about getting his shot blocked if he takes it to the basket? If Enoch can do even ONE of these things then we'll have a MAJOR upgrade at backup center.
And, not for nothing, but WTF with Omar's 3 point shooting?! Did he miss 5, or was it 6, wide open three's?
I predict that with Brimah on the floor UConn storms back for a win.
This attitude mystifies me. UCONN playing for their tourney lives. Hamilton and Brimah growing up before our eyes. Can't imagine how a Uconn fan who cares enough to come post on a Uconn message board doesn't have an interest in the game the team he cares enough to post about is playing.i honestly forgot we had a game, remember at 9:02, looked up score and saw we played ECU and remembered why i didnt care about not watching game. I just cant get excited for a late february game against ECU, whether we are tourney bound or not.
I think it is more about disappointment because of exaggerated expectations. This team teases you. Just when you think they are getting it , they fall on their face. The fact is we are very young , very inexperienced or both depending upon the player. We are short a second ball handler, Brimah can't stay on the court, etc.This attitude mystifies me.

Yet you still find the time to come here and post about Uconn basketball. That's what I don't get. You don't care about the team or games but you come here to post about them.they aren't getting into the tournament unless they win the conference tournament, lets be real. I get it, I'm excited for the future of Hamilton. I'm sorry, i just cant get excited watching them play ECU and about 90% of these other AAC teams. If these games satisfy you, fine. But these games are a far cry from the excitement that used to swirl around uconn games. Even in Uconn's down years I still got pleasure watching them play exciting teams. I know at this point and time, thats not happening and it may never happen. Call me less of a fan or whatever you want, watching a stagnant offense finally kick it into gear 30 minutes in against a team no one cares about isnt on my priority list.

1) we won a game against a historically inferior opponent that we should win, and beating them doesn't excite me
2) nothing matters until the AAC tournament, we did that to ourselves
3) I'm numb
be careful, you may get attacked for speaking ur opinion
THIS. The problem is, this conference stinks. This team is average, at best. And in this conference, they SHOULD win, and beating teams in a crap conference is a yawner. Then there is the distinct possibility that they lose to one of these teams.i honestly forgot we had a game, remember at 9:02, looked up score and saw we played ECU and remembered why i didnt care about not watching game.
