I hate watching us lose but it is fun to see when we play a well coached team that has set plays to get open looks for their best players. Screens off the ball, movement, cutting. We do none of that

You mean a pick and roll or pick and pop with two guys parked in the corners in the name of floor spacing isn't a designed play?
Watching our "offense" compared to what UConn does is frustrating to watch. There has to be some sort of happy medium between what Bruce Weber had with his motion offense and what we're seeing here, right?
Oh, right, there is - it's called UConn's offense.
Wow,Ben… looking lost… gotta grab that rebound unacceptable
Shocking stuff having Jake Davis still in the game
Ben lol

GET THE F*&#ru$CKING REBOUND
Ohhhhh Ben…
Like I said we are getting good looks and usually they make those they make today.
I'm not saying this is right or wrong. Things were dismal before Underwood but I do think after this much time with him we've seen what he has to offer. High floor but low ceiling. It has been great to get to the tournament every year but he rarely overachieves because he just doesn't get the best out of his teams.

Jesus !!!!ing christ
Were supposed to be good at rebounding lol
Why is Davis in the game, though, if you're trying to win it?
Great, great shot - BUT that rebound was all over Ben's back and was a foul.
JAKE DAVIS ON THE BENCH NOW.... in no world can Ben and Jake be on the floor at the same time... Just awful awful awful
Or, he could jump and grab a damn rebound
He was over his back you blind ref!
