Making Plays, I don’t disagree with anything you said. The only thing I will point out is that you just started following this program when CMA took over. You haven’t lived and died with this program for 40+ years like a lot of the fans on this forum. The last 20+ years for the most part have not been good. The frustration is boiling over now. You don’t have the same frame of reference that most of us here have and I don’t think that you can fully understand how most of us on here feel.

I went through the Stan Heath and John Pelphrey years at Arkansas, I know the bottom feels like . And I know it's been a while for Johnnies, and that's why I said I do understand the frustration some have with CMA not getting the job done yet, he made promises coming in, he's got the talent, he's got a hungry fan base, he's gotta produce.

Jon Rothstein said this a couple weeks ago, the Johnnies haven't done anything yet to hurt themselves, but they also haven't done anything to help themselves. This is still true, they don't have any bad losses, just no signature wins either. But the good news is still a lot of basketball left and still plenty of opportunities to get quality wins. I didn't get a chance to watch the Providence game, but from what I heard they played a good game, and if they won that game, the outlook here would be much different right now.

I see we're back to a time when the fanbase is praying we don't get embarrassed in Storrs.

Wonderful position to be in in Year 4.

Hoping we aren’t in storr for a beat down

To me, "pissing and moaning" describes a juvenile response. I think what others are saying is that you can be an "actual fan" and take a critical stance without pitching a fit.

to me pissing and moaning is half youth and have future prostate problem

 

[mjmaherjr]

Please stop the pissing on each other.

Don’t get the mods pissed

Have a bad feeling that Clingan may pull a Dikembe Mutombo on us and block about 13 shots.

Joel will have his work cut out for him with UConns two headed center.

Think positively. He may block only 10 shots!

 

[vegasman2000]

Yet they have lost two games in conference already so they are beatable. Not that the Johnnies have a snowballs chance in hell to do so.

No one wins on the road against the upper half of the BE. It will be a miracle if we win

Not sure where to put this. Thought this was interesting. From Evan Miyakawa who does great analytics for college hoops. https://evanmiya.com/

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

He’ll go for 20 now

Tall task

 

[Johnny Rapper]

As much as I’m disappointed in the season, I hope they can find a way to beat them. I f-ing hate that program and don’t think they belong in the conference.

Good practice today: Jones worked extensively on 30 foot jumpers

Did Curbelo practice behavior that will earn him a technical foul?

No time, he was practicing behavior to get himself benched.

He was excused for an Amtrak caboose evaluation

He doesn’t have to practice it. He knows it already!
