Not mad we allowed 18 offensive boards

Success is momentary.

Played terrible. No debate. I knew this would be one of our hardest games of the year. UConn is fighting for their season and actually have a reason to believe. We did not match their intensity.

To be honest, I'm surprised it went to overtime. We didn't do much right today.

Why the f would I be the place you express your frustrations with ?

I never mentioned selling tickets in a long time.

I said it was a shame. It was. It was a tier 1 win

And I’ve been concerned with the last few road games already. We don’t defend on the road . When we do defend we don’t rebound
I’m of the mind that you dont consistently win on the road by trying to simply outscore teams like we did against did against temple and WSU.

That isn’t a winning formula for consistent road success.


Need to win out to feel safe in my opinion. 1 tier 1 win won’t cut it with three tier 3 losses

And we need WSU to beat Houston today

You can win other ways. You don't have to play the Cronin, Virginia, grind it out, style to win on the road. There are only a few teams that do that. There are many other good teams out there that don't play that style. We played bad today. Our offense looked rough also. Made more 3s than we usually do that made it look better but it wasn't good. Everything was bad.

Home and neutral you can play Brannen ball but on the road, you better play defense because you don’t get calls, you won’t hit as many shots and you can’t rely on just scoring.

The only thing you can control on the road is your effort, rebounding and defense

I think we can lose at Houston and win the rest and be ok. The rest of our schedule isn't bad. Everyone said they would love to go 5-1 over this 6 games, well we are 4-1 with a home game left. I'll take that.

Cronin has you brainwashed. There are other ways to play basketball. I'm sure Brannen isn't telling his guys to not worry about defense and effort.

Cronin ball is the only way to go. It leads to so many sweet 16s.

Well that's an improvement. Earlier you said "the facts are we absolutely must" go 16-2 in conference.
