TUn playing like crap thus far down 10 - 0...

 

[TU Sepp]

TU looks mas if they are playing to lose!!!

1 stinking free throw...

 

[panicstricken]

our FT shooting is just awful.

At least we are starting to attack the basket.

 

[JesseTU]

Crap ff shooting.

Woj style press break.

And gee... Another opponent with a hot hand from 3.

 

[TU_BLA]

Doesn't help that Swannegan is sick. Need his energy.

Our offense has been figured out and we suck. just pack it in and we are dreadful.. Woodard et all stinking it up. Look who the ref is!!!!!!

 

[TulsaCane95]

Please keep up the updates. I am in Cabo San Lucas, the ESPN app doesn't work and while the hotel has espn 2 the Mexican version isn't playing the game.

 

[TUPacer]

Good god. Haith was right at the beginning of the year. We're not a good shooting team. I guess we've known that but Shaq (when healthy) has masked this deficiency wth his crazy drives

Gold's budy is there so I am sure we will be fine!

[tudirk]

Wright plays like a sissy 90% of the time.

 

[JesseTU]

Smith is the only person who showed up played. Down by 8 and looking bad. Like SEOK bad.

 

[TU_BLA]

And somehow as bad as we have played we are within 6

[TUPacer]

[jesterondirt]

Touchdown and a 2 point conversion and were back in this.

 

[t-townpod]

What took other teams so long to see how to play us

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Put in Dew & Littlejohn, maybe they make a shot.

 

[panicstricken]

13 points...

damn thats rough

Defense is playing as good as can expected.

Shots will start falling.

To have scored only 13 points and be down only 9 isnt all that bad.

 

[t-townpod]

If we are going to just pass around the perimeter and play 4 and 1 than we might as well put Wood in there who is our best 3 point shooter. Hide him on defense with a zone.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

On pace for about a 50-30 final.

Ugly ugly game both teams.

T-town, UCONN is not playing us that way. We simply have lost our aggressiveness on offense and are settling for the outside shots. Even when we get inside we can't hit a layup and when we get to the line we can't hit those, I think we are 2-8 from the line right now. 9 year olds shoot a better % from the line. When Shaq does drive no one moves to the space created by the help D so there's no one to pass to. When Shaq and Juice aren't hitting the mid range shots, hell, they won't even take them right now, we struggle big time.

Dammit

You know its bad when we cant hit fast break layups

 

[ctt8410]

26% from the field. 10% from three. 33% from the line. Man...

 

[TulsaFanForever]

I am sick of us shooting 25%. We have to do better

 

[JesseTU]

Go to the basket. Don't care how many blocks #35 gets. Go at them.

 

[panicstricken]

We wont shoot that bad in the second half.

We are still in the game.

No need to melt yet.

 

[TulsaEye]

When you can't shoot from outside the defense has no reason to come out and unpack the middle.

 

[T Up]

This is Doug ball type numbers!!
I have to agree, put in Wood. He will shoot everytime he touches it. No one but smith and Curtis is will to pull the trigger and Curtis can't hit the broad side of the arena! Smith has kept it respectable....barely.

We need to figure out a way to get open shots and make them. One good pick and roll in the first half.
Really worried that we are going to see this as fans the rest of the year unless Woodard comes out of his funk. No one else can carry us.

 

[lawpoke87]

Can't be intimidated by the big guy inside. Need to take the ball right at him and draw fouls. This game is far from over. UConn doing very little on the offensive end. First five minutes of second half are crucial.

^ This ^

Woodard, Shaq & Ray combined from ZERO points in the first half !!

 

[TulsaEye]

I would bet Shaq's ankle is just too banged up he won't be able to cut like earlier in the year. Without him or Woodard, doesn't look good for the rest of the season.

Love your optimism!!

 

[Tulsafanzz]

This game isn't over, but both TU & UCONN are 2nd half teams. I expect UCONN to shoot better in the 2nd half.
We will have to play much, much better to have any chance to win.

 

[TulsaEye]

Two blocked shots inside this could turn into a blowout real quick.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Pretty good 2nd half start!

 

[panicstricken]

Oh well...

It was a nice dream while it lasted.
