That's the Uconn I know...

I wish it had happened a few nights earlier but I did get to see Calhoun act like the classless tool that he is this week as the Huskies got run by Louisville on Friday night.  Somebody needs to put him out of his misery.  I'm sure that his players tune him out because his sideline blowups are so frequent.

I watch a lot of college basketball and I have a major problem with the way technical fouls are called.  There are some coaches, Calhoun, that bitch all game at officials yet they rarely get hit with the T.  Conversely, some players can get a T for screaming after a dunk or even looking at somebody the wrong way.  It's horrible and I hate it.  The games should be more about the players than the coaches.

What went wrong in Hartford on Wednesday:

1.  Getting to the rim.  Connecticut shot better than 60% from 2 in both halves because they got a large number of layups, put-backs, dunks, etc.

2.  Walker's Friends.  This is kind of an extension of #1 but once Walker made some shots he got 2 and 3 defenders collapsing on him.  I wasn't worried about Kemba getting his 30 plus.  I was worried about him getting others involved.  He had 9 assists to go with his points.  That was a disaster.

3.  Freeman.  Austin had a bad shooting night.  He's actually in what you might consider a 3 point shooting slump.

For as poorly as Georgetown executed on both ends, they had a chance to win the game late.  Instead of getting blown out they actually came back and took the lead with under 4 minutes remaining.   From that point they didn't make another shot.

The game reminded me a lot of the loss at St. John's.  Both the Huskies and the Redmen got too many good looks around the rim and Freeman struggled in both contests.  In the St. John's game Freeman missed a late, wide-open 3 that would have pushed the lead to 4.  In the Connecticut game his shot would have put the Hoyas up 2.  You can't survive with that kind of late game performance from your ace on the road.  You just can't when the margins are so tight.

But all is good in the world tonight knowing that Calhoun is upset.
