UConn game thread

[I.I.]

Gave up a corner 3, again, again, and again.

 

[TU_BLA]

GET OUT OF THE ZONE FRANK!

 

[URedskin54]

Zone isn't getting any stops still. Shocked

 

[Weatherdemon]

Damn.

 

[TU_BLA]

Shaq trying to get all of UCONN fouled out. Now if we can hit some FTs...

 

[TU Sepp]

UCONN playing like they own us.

 

[I.I.]

Frank is worried about foul trouble if he goes to man. Duh. Who cares about the fouls when you give up 15 threes?

 

[Weatherdemon]

Why are we not switching zones and man like we did vs SMU?
UConn is killing us from 3.
Game over at this point but this is the 'best' loss we can take.
Drawing fouls inside like we are is our best bet until Birt and Woodard find their shot.

No freaking crap!
He gets lost in zone like Wojcik got lost in man... I don't like that at all.

 

[I.I.]

ESPN2 is an ad agency for UCONN it appears.

 

[panicstricken]

The temple loss is going to haunt on selection sunday

 

[ctt8410]

How much would it take to get a former president at every game to jumpstart Juice?

 

[Weatherdemon]

How is ther such a disparity between UConn and Tulsa with RPI VS BPI?
We're 41, they're 43 in RPI but it's 56 and 26 in BPI?

We still have plenty of opportunities.. Can we take advantage of them? IDK, but we still have a chance to take them in Tulsa.

 

[TulsaCane95]

I can't believe how much I hate ESPN's coverage of this game... It's not a game its an it's a 2 hour infomercial.

 

[I.I.]

Run some plays for Juice please. He can't create everything himself.

 

[TU Sepp]

TU cuts the lead to 10 on 3's by Birt and layups by Shaq

 

[TU_BLA]

Feed Birt every freaking play....

 

[I.I.]

Birt is getting it back. Oh how I wish he had had 4-5 more minutes the first half.

 

[cmullinsTU]

I wish Birt could shoot

 

[cmullinsTU]

We've already made more shots in the 2nd half than the 1st half

 

[panicstricken]

DAMN!!!

come on TU!

 

[TU Sepp]

Birt with 17 pts. and 6 - 8 from the field...
TU down by 8 with Birt at the line for 2.

 

[I.I.]

UCONN has gone "Temple" cold.

 

[TU_BLA]

I just looked at the stats...Woodard has 1 freaking point. And why the heck did Haith go back to the zone?

Ollie doesn't seem to have much confidence in Brimah...he's been on the bench for a long time and we are getting to the rim.

Last point...did Birt get started to late in the season to be considered for newcomer of the year?

 

[TU_BLA]

And the refs have decided they need to even up the foul situation

 

[panicstricken]

Free throws....

ughh

hit 70% and this is a tie game

 

[TU Sepp]

Birt for 3 TU -8

 

[cmullinsTU]

@Curtis_for_Three-eeeeee

 

[TU_BLA]

And Birt for 3 AGAIN! TU fans need to come up with a recorded loop...Gunslinger type when he hits one. He's unconscious right now.

 

[I.I.]

Got to get Juice involved if any chance. Or just let Birt shoot every possession.

 

[TU Sepp]

Play of the night Birt shots an airball...
Fans start yelling airball...
Woodard gets the rebound...
and passes to Birt for 3 with fans still chanting airball...

 

[tudirk]

Woodard in MI F'ing A

 

[cmullinsTU]

Play of the night Birt shots an airball...

Woodard gets the rebound...
and passes to Birt for 3 with fans still chanting airball...

That was the epitome of The Sequel never seeing a shot he didn't like. And he's my hero for it tonight.

 

[TU_BLA]

He's a shooter's shooter. Keep on shooting they will eventually start falling

 

[jesterondirt]

Down 5, little over 2 minutes left. Still got a chance. They're not giving up. If we're gonna win, its got to go through Woodard here in the end in my opinion

 

[TU Sepp]

2:00 and -5

 

[Weatherdemon]

Man... So close.

 

[jesterondirt]

Wow, UCONN getting some help to finish us off.

 

[nevadanatural]

Gibbs runs across the lane and gives Birt a double forearm and no call. After all the issues that and the missed offensive boards at the end are the tale of the game.
