UConn game thread

Postby muskieman » Wed Feb 04, 2026 4:05 am

SORRY. That the :) The board was down, but we have it back now, thanks to Jay. Probably was a good thing because I can imagine the comments we would have seen after the first half. Face it, few teams match up with UConn

Maybe a surprise win over Dad next week Hope is all we have at the moment :o
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Went to the game last night and needless to say it was totally embarrassing. Not competitive. We did not belong on the same floor. In person our softness on both ends is so apparent. I do not know where the X program goes from here.

Hip hip Hooray. Thanks Jay. Well UConn was a ugly beatdown. We were timid soft and didn't compete very hard. The team looked very unprepared to play. On the positive side we actually played some good defense the last 7 minutes of the DePaul game. This year is kind of over and I am really worried about next years team. I believe Carroll and Filip are gone. Outside of Anderson I am not very hopeful for any of the returning player's . It would be quite a stretch to think the current players will improve enough for us to be a 20 win team. I hope I am wrong and maybe the Freshman can help right away. But I see a huge turnover in the roster for us to be any good.

we start 3 seniors and they seem to lay down when we play a good team. The effort on defense is getting worse, which is not a good sign. Pape and ARob bring nothing to the table not even rim protection. Watching games against UConn is like a freshmen team vs varsity in HS. At one point in the first half we had three players guard Karaban on the block? Unreal.

I'm actually pleased overall with this season so far, all things considered. RP can definitely coach. However, X needs a GM to help pick players. X will also have a heavier bag to spend as well.

Wait. Are you saying you want Anderson back as an anchor???? If he is content with 15 min a game, I'll take him. Otherwise, I wish him the best of luck. If the starting PG for X next year is on the roster, I am going to spend more time moderating the fencing board for Lehigh, because it will be a long year for X.
