Bad foul shooting dumb shots terrible defense such a letdown

 

[dk423]

Hard to see silver linings in this one. Very discouraging. How can this team be so flat for so long in this game?

 

[Silly Donovan]

If we don’t beat UConn we will have lost 5 out of 6….

 

[njfan]

Does anyone think that we still have a tourney shot assuming UConn might be a loss?

 

[redmanwest]

That blew.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

oh well. It wouldn't surprise me if Saturdsay Uconn wins by 20 plus.

 

[njfan]

If we don’t beat UConn we will have lost 5 out of 6….

How are we not on the bubble now

I wish alleyne could have played down the stretch ( National champion ) against Oliveri
Why is Dunlap in down the stretch when he has not hit a shot in weeks
losing faith in RP

 

[Amaseinyourface]

They outplayed us regardless of the few real tough shots they hit.

 

[Knight]

Miller outcoached Pitino

 

[redmen89]

bad loss

 

[MJDinkins]

If your a tournament team this is a game you should win sorry we just choked this one away

I wouldn't go that far, but I thought this would be a tough one and obviously that was the case. Frankly, we were our own worst enemy. Missing freebies and easy shots, and played shitty defense throughout most of the game.

I'd love to face Xavier again in the Big East Tournament. This doesn't sit well with me tonight.

 

[paultzman]

No medals for fighting back, dug our hole w horrible D yielding ton of easy shots.

Lost last 4 of 5 & UConn likely to worsen that

 

[guinness77]

This team just doesn’t hustle enough, isn’t alert enough, doesn’t do enough of the dirty stuff, gives up too many second chances.

That’s it. They read too much of their stuff in the press. A team like this can’t afford to continually make those kind of lazy mistakes.

 

[mm52]

X is tough, especially at home. Not unexpected to split with them. Now we have to win our home games against uconn, depaul and Seton hall.

 

[redmanwest]

Hate? How about "frustration"?

It’s just that we’ve seen this kind of player before. Big hat, no cattle. He’s not a freshman.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Any BS talk that this team has gotten better is BS. The D in the first half stunk, outside of Joel and Jenkins the rest of the team was offensively bad.

 

[Marillac2]

Jenkins great for the first 38 minutes and awful for the last 2.

What dumb 3 that was when Soriano was unstoppable and we were in double bonus.

 

[MJDinkins]

Miller outcoached Pitino

Pitino out coached himself.
