Exactly.......2 other things on this besides not using the foul they had to waste b4 Brown got into the lane. First..... was why not go 2 for 1 when Uconn had the ball with 50 secs to go and Hamilton ended up at the foul line.....they stood around and wasted 20 secs doing nothing, guaranteeing Temple would be able to take the last shot with almost no time on the clock. Second.... Adams is a much better on ball defender than Gibbs, it's like KO forget he had him on the bench with 7 minutes to go.
Regarding the XL, the place is a cavern yes, with only 11,300 in a 16,000 seat building but the crowd tried numerous times to pick the team up with D chants, etc. but
the team starting with Hamilton taking forced shots with his head down( it's like he's suddenly forgot what a pass is since Texas) over and over,
showed no NRG or BB IQ..... and at one point Hamilton almost tossed a bonehead alley-op into the stands and he was yelling at Purvis for his own mistake........With the students away for break who knows what kind of crowd there will be at Gampel Saturday but Smart, Tough and Togetherness better be the theme. Oh and when you have Miller tied for the team lead with 2 assists, you better share the ball better too.
UConn Huskies 'Don't Show Up' In Setback To Temple
"If we're not going to play, not shoot, some of our best players don't show up," Ollie said, "It's just going to be hard for us to win. We have to do the dirty things, getting loose balls, getting offensive rebounds, playing tough. … Hopefully those guys look at themselves in the mirror, I know I am, and then hopefully we can bounce back from this like champions."
