Connecticut Huskies at South Florida Bulls, Mar 6, 2010 2:00 PM EST
Well, here we are. After four months, 30 games and innumerable flip-flops between rejoicing and melting down in fits of despair, it's all (sort of) come down to this.
This is UConn's last chance to dance (barring a five-games-in-five-days miracle in MSG next week). Win, and UConn is still alive (and probably on the good side of the bubble, since everyone apparently sucks). Lose, and UConn equals its W-L record (17-14) from that evil, nasty 2006-07 season that didn't happen.
No pressure.
Use this thread for your freak-outs, complaints, passionate declarations for or against Jerome Dyson and, in the unlikely event UConn actually plays well, some calm, level-headed praise.
Go Huskies.

Don't everybody comment at once
I’m kind of surprised at the lack of turnout, it being a Saturday mid-afternoon game.
Are we that disillusioned with this team?
(Yes we are.)

I guess everyone's at the XL Center watching the Big East women's tournament.
In other news, I’m told that the USF Bull Man did not make it up to Hartford, which might be the most heartbreaking story of 2010.

That last sequence just about sums up UConn's season, doesn't it?
Majok tries to dribble, gets it easily stripped. USF throws away the pass and it’s about to go out of bounds, but somehow the ball defies the law of gravity and hits the backboard, so Kemba has to hurry back down and rush a 3 before the buzzer, which isn’t even close.
And then they’re gonna do ANOTHER feature on the 6OT game. Just shoot me already.

Would this be considered Coach waving the white flag on the season?
Offense looks fucking fantastic with the Second Five.
I see no change in the D, though.

Smith pulls a Dyson.
C’mon kid, either pull up for a jumper or give the ball up.

Is there any way
this team could miss the BET?
Because that would be just what the doctor ordered for me.

Man, remember when we were 17-11 and all we had to do was win 1 of 3 to be in decent NCAA shape?
That was a while ago.
When we lose today, at least we get St. John’s on Tuesday. They’re the only team we’ve beaten at the Garden in years.

I was there
when Donyell dropped 42 on them at the Gahden. 21-for-21 from the FT line.
Let’s reminisce instead of watching today’s game!
Old school
Remember the days of the old 8-9 game in the Big East Tournament?
I do not.
I was at MSG, though, the last time they were a 12 seed in the BET and Syracuse rocked them.

odds on him getting tossed?
I’ll open tthem up at 3-1 against
I understand Cal's trying to make a point
with the B team, but he’s about 10 games too late with this display.
It’s the last game of the season and we can still make the tournament. Stop fucking around.

Really?
I dont think it matters either way. At least this way he can shame Dyson and Robinson.

Tech
One half too late.
Oh and that’s really classy of that USF fan flipping him off. Call me when you win any title in any fucking sport.
Intensity thermometer?
Insult to injury that we get these announcers.

If we win with this lineup
I kick Dyson off the team immediately. Even if we don’t really.
dear charter oak
maybe actually try getting a hand in his face when you’re 8 feet from the basket?
I would feel better about the 2010-11 Huskies looking decent on offense
If USF didn’t get every roll and our defense didn’t let them get a million open lanes on the other side of the floor.

did the game stop working for anybody else?
It’s mercifully broken here.
wow
That was actually an efficient possession in the half-court.
Even the PA announcer is mispronouncing our players’ names.
I love that the BE Network
isnt even pretending this game is any fun, and is just showing chart after chart after chart about other teams.

wow
I guess Coach is serious about this benching. Ten games too late.
Good.
At least the kids are playing with some heart. They’re not all that good yet, but at least it looks like they could, since they aren’t finished products like the three seniors.

I wish I was tall and black
Look at D-Bev going nuts in the second half.

Which for D-Bev is like, what?

even my son has given up
I was trying to ask him about the game, and he just shook his head and went back to his Star Wars game. I don’t remember being young enough to watch these games and not feel sick.
At this point, I don't even care about the result
If the kids somehow come back, I’ll laugh and mock the three USF fans that exist, but other than that, I don’t care. I’ve never felt that way about a UConn game.

WHOA.

If no TO, then foul. They seem anxious to hand us the ball at every opportunity.
In the last minute of tied/close games, UConn's opponents are 150% from the FT line

Busted it up and down the court. Tremendous.
The seniors? Fuck em.
Dyson and Robinson both sucked
this year, but I blame Robinson more, just because Dyson had more of a burden, and he was good his 1st 3 years…I always liked him. Robinson got a put back dunk or an alley-oop started by another player, dunked it, and everyone was wowed. He never did anything on offense for 4 years. How does a player not know how to dribble or penetrate or shoot unless wide open after 4 years?
