Connecticut Huskies at Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Mar 3, 2010 7:00 PM EST
The worst part about losing to Louisville was not the loss itself. It was that it meant UConn's game against Notre Dame tonight turned into a defacto must-win. Be sure to check out our preview and the SBNation Notre Dame blog Rakes Of Mallow. The game tips off at 7, please join us in the thread below and share your thoughts.
Unfortunately, do to a previous obligation, I won't be able to join until about 7:30 or so, I'm not suer of Justin's status and Meacham may or may not be checking in, so you may have to keep yourselves amused for awhile. Please be on your best behavior Hawtin.

Give kemba the ball and have run around drawing fouls until we get in the bonus. Then repeat and shoot freefrows.
dyson throws it away

What the hell is Dyson doing?
That’s the fourth time I’ve seen him throw it right to an ND player. They aren’t even stepping in on his passes, he’s just throwing them at ND players.

It's not just that we're bad...
…it’s that we’re bad the exact same ways every game, and those weaknesses cost us every loss, and we have yet to correct these mistakes that are, with hard work, very correctable.
I cannot believe this.
Calhoun should just punch Okwandu in the face in the huddle. Just to send a message to the rest of the team.
"The Conn"
Unless I’ve missed something, I’ve never heard anyone at UConn refer to our school as “The Conn”. Even when drunk. Where the fuck did Reese get this?
You cannot win without being able to shoot the 3.
Look at how Notre Dame’s defense is set up: they’re backed off 2 or 3 feet, daring us to shoot. So no one can penetrate without being drawn into a double-team, which they can also do because even if we kick it out, we’re not going to hit the shot.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame’s guards are just working our guys every time down the floor, and we haven’t been able to guard a pick-and-roll in about five years.

We suck.
All our recruits are going to decommit and our starting 5 will be Kemba and four walk-ons. Majok and Mandeldove will come off the bench.
The Big East will then kick UConn out, and we will become a middle of the pack America East time by 2012.

to be an analyst
It’s like these talking heads haven’t watched us play all year. They trot out the same dog and pony show about how great Dyson is and Sticks and all that but they haven’t been great all year and anyone who has seen more than three of our games knows this. I wish Knight would waffle Dyson with a chair then piss on his wound.
As I've said before,
I’m pretty sure I could rewrite the media guide from the beginning of the season word for word strictly from announcers comments
They look at numbers, most of them
Dyson puts up 19 points per game, but for as many possessions as he handles the ball, he’s inefficient as hell.
Robinson puts up double doubles usually and he’s got OMG athleticism, but all of his points come off putbacks and dunks. He can’t create his own shot.

HOW ARE THEY BEATING US OFF THE DRIBBLE SO EASILY.
That’s more frustrating to me than anything Dyson’s done tonight.

Seriously
Do the men not know how to wash their faces in South Bend? BUY A LUFFA!!!!
To be honest Digger
Any defender looks great when Dyson tries to drive on him.
it would probably feel not that bad
to spam a notre dame blog with “sure we lost but all your players have acne” comments
soooo i think calhoun needs to

OK, I take back my last Dyson comment.
Bench his ass for the rest of the season. Play Coombs-McDaniel, for chrissakes. I can take it better if a freshman’s screwing up rather than a four-year starter.

Joe just reminded me I should be liveblogging..

This is pathetic.
I’m embarrassed by this team.

I said this Saturday...
There is a really weird dynamic to this team that can only be broken once Dyson and Sticks are gone.
If they call Stanley athletic...
everybody drinks.
That was a fucking stupid decision by...Dyson, I think?
It worked out, but why in God’s name would you throw that pass when we’re down 10 with 5:00 left? Jesus.

How about Linda McMahon trotting out daughter Stephanie for the campaign commercials? Just so you can put a face to the writer of the necrophilia angles on Raw that will lose the election for Mommie.
Heh
Awesome. I know that if I were running for major national political office, I’d want my spokesperson to be someone whom, eight years ago, fans were encouraged to call a “slut” on Monday night national television.

I can remember
Seeing ECW at the Sting in New Britain. Now THAT was a show!
It could be worse,
HHH could start cutting promos for her. That testament to clean living, he.
The picture of Vince as a young man looked shockingly like another former candidate, Bob Backlund.
I can't remember the last senior who played as small as Dyson

Pathetic.
But hey, at least we’ll become strictly a women’s basketball blog once UConn loses to Rutgers or whoever in the Big East tournament.
