    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    I don't understand why we struggle to execute simple concepts. Passing up wide open in rhythm three opportunities for more difficult shots off the dribble, contested, and out of rhythm has been a constant bugaboo. Different specific recent example, Brad himself said we were supposed to foul...

    Yep, can confirm. Went to our 2021 FB game in Charlottesville, they were up 14-0 before I got through the gates and to my seat. :eek:🤮

    Pregame: Illinois at Tennessee, Saturday, December 9th, 11:00am CT, CBS

    Love our defensive mentality and hope whoever draws Knecht tells him during the pregame handshake that we're about to cut off his water, his gas & electric, his cable and his wifi... and then do it. :LOL: :ROFLMAO:

    UConn's unis tonight (this year I guess) are supremely terrible. The cutoff armpit block stripe and the HUSKIES down the leg of the shorts look like :poop:
