@@HK-zt1kc lol we haven't played many times big man. But Kemba Walker did obliterate us. And Shabazz Napier but I don't recall any other losses to UCONN
UConn players have been out of position on defense. They’re slow and not laterally aggressive with their footwork. Not staying in front of their opponents causing significant fouls out of frustration.
Dayton kicked the 💩out of Uconn. This is not the same team that won back to back national championships. 4 starters gone to NBA. Would be 5 if Karaban stayed in draft. Lots of glaring faults. Can they be fixed? Maybe. It’s only November. Lots of talent on this team,lots of talent. But basketball is a team sport. They are not yet a team. Hurly still figuring it out. I think that they will get better.
Who gives a shit. Before, it wasn’t an issue because they were winning, well it was to some. Now, it’s the talk of rhe week, “Hurley is an embarrassment.” No. He isn’t. Sure, I’ll agree, he goes overboard, but at the end of the day, it’s just words. Laugh at him all you want, but I’d rather a coach be psychotic and get results, than a coach to drive drunk, assault their wife, or commit fraud.
Solo has scored some points but it’s all been from outside mostly and his plus minus is a negative. This is not surprising since he’s not really a defender. Can’t have that from your two guard and McNeely has the same stats, Hassan has played well but some key turnovers in crucial situations has been his no when the pressure is on. So this team needs to take a step back and decide what their identity is in going forward????
There’s been a ton of upsets already but everybody had already crowned UConn for their 3rd straight. Could still happen but they’re not infallible like the talking heads portrayed!
I happy with Pope now, lol. Wasn’t at first but looks like a good fit for us. But I’m not going to shit on a coach who just won 2 chips! Until someone beats UConn in march they are still the favorites! As far as who is coaching who, I think everyone is right where they should be and strangely it worked out for everyone this offseason! Hurley stayed as he should’ve. Pope is doing good for Uk and Cal will have Arkansas in contention before the year is over
The off season effort wasn't there. Dan was being romanced in LA and the transfer portal reflects that. UCONN is heavy at the wing, non-existent at the point and insufficient in the paint. There was probably a bit of arrogance on his part after back-to-back championships, that he could win with anything.
Hurley made some bad bets. He had 3 big guards at 6,6", 6,5", and 6,4" who could all shoot, defend, and pass on a cerebral level. He went to the portal and replaced all 3 with Aiden Mahaney, who looks 6,1" without sneakers, not a great passer, cannot defend, cannot run the offense. His system cannot work without quality big guards. He also made a bad bets on Samson Johnson, an extremely limited big man with low basketball IQ, poor intangibles and discipline who cannot stay in the court for more than a few minutes. That's was this projected starter at center....Where would he be without Tarris Reed who he continues to refuse to reward with a starting spot in the rotation? Reed was a good bet, but he made a mistake by not grabbing another mobil and physical 7ft big who can stay on the court for significant minutes and protect the rim. Johnson cant even stay on the court long enough to be a legitimate backup. We're screwed this season...
I always thought the talk of threepeat was a recruiting thing at best, and ridiculous at worst. Bottom line is that our post play is terrible and we don't have a point guard. In short, we could survive the loss of Spencer and Castle, but not the loss of Clingan and Newton. Hurley said his team was “comically bad” while blowing out crap teams. The media and UConn fans mocked him. Guess what?
Hurley has gotten a lot of credit, as he deserves for winning back to back titles. But before that didn't they really suck like this hasnt he missed the tournament more than he's been? Something is wrong with this team on the defensive end. They have real trouble getting shots. In the Colorado and Memphis game UConn tried to play a more aggressive in your face defense . And the refs are calling everything cause everyone has had enough of hurleys verbal abuse. He takes jawing at the refs to another level . By making it personal and yelling comments about the refs personally. I know his wife lives in fear of this guy but in the past has connected his attitude with his micro D issue? Seems like a mental case to me!
Glad he didn't. He needs the most talented and best players to succeed. Look at his years with an average roster. Still a good team but his coaching caused them to under perform and mis the tournament more times than not!

Coach absolutely casued the 1st lost with the technical foul. How stupid??!!!! Was that!!!! 2nd game they just got beat. And 3rd game they got destroyed. Theri just not as good as everyone thought. Not yet anyway
Let ne guess aiden over bera um we get reed when it was 3 -7 footers in the portal we didn't even attempt to get cause we cheap 🤷🏿♂️um thinking sampson and hassan could be starters didn't even attempt to get a real guard knowing how many it was in the portal um I mean where do you want me to start ?? Shit making me so mad all that talent about to go down the drain ugh
UConn had their run and it’s over. This team lacks talent big time. Especially point guard spot. Hurleys antics don’t work when they lose. UConn will slowly fade into mediocrity.
They have the #1 ranked class coming in next year so yeah mediocrity LOL! Sounds more like wishful thinking. 6 National Championships in 25 years…mediocrity LOL
Kentucky fans are ecstatic over Duke and UConn 😃 Looking so great 😂
🤦🏿♂️ ky ain't won anything since when? Last final 4 2015 and lost with one of the greatest teams of all time, lol 🤡
Oh, and uconn record against ky is crazy yall ain't beat us since jhon wall stop the cap

Do not compare UConn to Kentucky you morons lmao. Look at the schools history and then talk smack. Go Cats 🎉.
Hurley has never did shit against Kentucky..😂😂

@@jadedequeljoe3283 deffense. Won't be fixed can fix the fouling issues they have maybe
Hurley cries like a baby when he doesn't get his way!
Falls to the floor and is so dramatic. He was one step away from lying on the floor and flailing around

Well, sitting here on turkey day, they laid a big EGG in Maui, going 0-3. 😮
Damn! UConn is on the wrong side of a 3-peat right now! They”ll be good this season! They have to bounce back!

The whole team can't deffened with out fouling Dan has a hissy fit he needs to coach more then screaming at the officials
Hurley is the most overrated coach in college basketball.
He won 2 national championships in a row and did both with a record point differential. 3 meaningless losses at Maui means he's overrated?
They NEED to lose now!
Give them time.
This from a skeptic!
VERY talented team.
Give them 10 games.
Jump shooters dont get fouled much drivers go to the line. Sorry to see player get hurt hope he get right.

UConn just doesn’t have great talent. Especially at the center position. Next year they’ll probably be good again
Hurley can't coach without the best players. So many years when he has ok talent they under perform. And miss the tournament.

2 Natty’s in a row. I think the guy has earned some slack and time with this team.
I mean obviously but it's still baffling
Dan had a hot heat talking about three peating and haveing his most talented team yet
Dam Hurley the pelehu of Maui! Lol
They lost there big man and now they losing 😅😂 they not going win it all now 😅😂 glad we didnt get him for ky coach !! Pope is the man for UK 😊😅 BBN
Is UK going to win it all this year? And they lost 4 starters to the NBA, not just their big man. Time to rebuild.
