Very winnable Game against Temple

[scdono]

Temple, as always, has played a competitive schedule which keepers their RPI from sagging. An away win against a decent opponent is just want the doctor ordered this week. I’m sick of talking about the “inquiry.” Is is it too early to get pumped for this game?

Same line up as last game. Need confidence and to play smart

Echenoyiaaayionaiya scares the crap out of me but we’ve somehow always handled him reasonably well.

Memphis was a winnable game.... until the game started.

I hope the kids avoid the noise and come ready to play.

 

[Travelman6]

I want to stop saying winnable game, however, because in football and bball, saying that has not worked out for the Huskies as of late. I encourage others to stop too, for the time being.

Missouri was a "winnable" game up until game day and uconn was clobbered from the first minute. BC was too, and no chance from the very start.

I heard many people say Arkansas and Auburn (due to players being absent) were winnable games and Uconn was NEVER in either of those games.

Memphis was "winnable" and we saw how lousy uconn was there too, never in it.

Do we notice a pattern? Of late, ALL "winnable" games result in a beat down from the very start.

So IMO this is the curse of the "winnable" game...STOP saying winnable, IMO.

(Or, is it time to stop the "winnable" game "curse" tomorrow? One would hope)

Yeah they're definitely losing games because of what us idiot fans are thinking and saying on the internet. You should be policing what everyone says and thinks, God's work buddy!!

 

[Husky68]

I think this is a winnable game.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Having seen Temple a couple times this year i think we could win. Surprised line is +6.5

It is a ...joke...learn to laugh. It has been a tough season.

 

[huskyharry]

Road games are always tough. TL will be out. We are doomed, DOOMED for sure!

 

[August_West]

If vital scores 16 + it’s very winnable . Under that going to be tough on road sans Larrier

 

[Bryan Lord]

We are definitely going to lose by a large margin. Largest ever possibly.

More so than you think.

Yours is like, "We gotta fight for our right to be idiots."

The key is defense. It was lousy against Memphis, much better against SMU. They were much better at cutting off dribble penetration and tagging the three point shooters. If they do that again, I think they win.

 

[InKembaITrust]

This team still scares me with how they handle travel and away games, typical of a young team I guess.

Winning an away game handedly against a conference foe will be a big step in the maturity process.

 

[Hankster]

To me this game is huge. Another conference win, and going to UCF for another win. We are currently in 4th. Take advantage of the Memphis loss yesterday. A great game today to keep the run going.

 

[scdono]

Despite all the drama and noise with the program, this season is not lost. Putting aside the inquiry, the team needs to come together and play hard with good ball movement. The Larrier injury may have been a blessing in disguise. I thought they would struggle to find offense. The SMU game showed they can play.

 

[mauconnfan]

Winnable!

I really would like to see more 2 guard line ups from now on. I mean I get Anderson can man up on occasion and brings an extra handle for security (Vital not as much), but he can't score and while he is a tough rebounder for his size he's small and they will post him up in mismatches tonight. I'm okay with 20 minutes from him but not 30 plus, we are better with Polley, Whaley and Carlton in although I do realize foul trouble may be an issue. Then use Diarra and some 3 guard but not the majority.

This, and whether they (primarily Adams) can continue to penetrate the zone / get passed their defender and make the right choice about kicking out or finishing at the rim. Also looking for early and consistent attacking on the blocks with Carlton and Whalley, and a few minutes for Diarra.

 

[KodiacKemba]

If Anderson use the screen properly to get in the paint, all I wanna see from that man is floaters , cuz we all see it takes him too long to gather and shoot which led to his shots being blocked.. just need him, Polley , vital to be efficient and we’ll win another one

Sim doesn't like us sans Larrier:

We don’t travel well
We are undermanned
Possiblilty of a letdown after a big win
We can’t shoot.
UConn 63 Temple 60

Please give me a lineup of JA, CV, Tyler Phommachanh, IW, JC and let’s see how they do.

Any SIM that gives David Onuorah points is clearly flawed...

We are Doomed!
