Doggydaddy's Den: Doggy's Doghouse 1/10/18

Yeah....I'm mad. UConn won 80-44 over Central Florida so I'm happy about that. But I'm very mad. How does that expression go? To paraphrase - I went to a basketball game and a hockey game broke out.

I'm mad at the refs for letting so much go and letting UCF slow down UConn's offense by fouling so much and not getting called for it.

I'm mad at the stupid fans that are complaining about UConn's play in this slug fest and not understanding how tough it is to play under these conditions. And don't give me the "Geno was not happy with them" crap....

Now, I can't say that the Huskies didn't have something to do with the poor offensive output. They rushed some shots, made some silly passes and missed a ton of open shots. But the tone was set the first few plays and when you get fouled with no calls, it can put you off your game.

They did a great job adjusting physically and mentally in the second half. But based on the post game interivew, Geno was pretty upset with how they reacted to the physical play and let them know in the locker room at the half. He thought they played a little entitled about how the game was called. That they played like they expected that the refs should just call a foul if UConn players are challenged. Geno explained that is not how it works. You have to adjust to how the game is being called. It took a half but they sure did do that.

Geno can't complain about the officials, but I'm not under the same restrictions. The refs sucked and I'm still mad!!!

Babysitting Wednesday and Thursday so maybe no post game report. Maybe it's for the best?
