Perfect wake up call

Postby skyscraper » Sun Mar 01, 2015 4:02 pm

We have looked not so great today.
Would be stunned if we looked this poor against Tulsa a week from today.
After the multiple reports of poor practices the last two days, there's now something to remind our team of the next week.

Wake up call? It in not like we have been playing bad games up to this point. Only good thing is that this is not considered a bad loss.

Wake up call in that we can't cruise to the end of the season. We apparently looked indifferent in practice. Much like the Tulsa game after the Cincy loss. I expect this loss to motivate us.

We need to figure out how to recover our rebounding advantage-its been waning for awhile now as Canaan gets more time. He has 14 rebounds in 7 games-and his only rebound today was on an uncontested late free throw where UCONN conceded rebound to get back on defense

we got beat. fair and square. their shots were falling no matter what or where they hit, board or rim. we just couldn't finish around the rim, and we didn't get a lot of rebounds i thought we could have. we can still win the conference, and i expect the guys to step it up at home next sunday.

no need for us to cry about officiating like the other teams have been recently, including UCONN.

Well *I'm* going to go ahead and start come paining about the officiating now since it was so effective for UCONN today :D

Better rebounding and free throw shooting would have helped but we ran into a hot shooting, overdue team playing in front of a starving home crowd. Teams will be up for us as longvas we are considered among the best. Better get used to it. Great game Huskies.

They were packing the box once they saw our guards were laying bricks.

That's true butSterling brown shooting got us right back into the game, then Yanick missed that dunk and UCONN made like 3 late shotclock contested shots in a row which kille dthe game.

We scored 47 points in the second half. After we made adjustments, offense wasn't the problem.

It doesn't help when the other team is making every crazy, off-balance shot they are throwing up. UCONN couldn't miss from the field or the line. i think they shot 70% from 3 and 90% from the line. that won't happen again against us.

They shot 45% (9 of 20) from threes. We actually shot better from the line by a slight margin - SMU .760 (19 of 25), UConn .759 (22 of 29).
