The “fire and ice” combination of columnist Jeff Jacobs and men’s beat reporter Dom Amore joins online producer Chris Brodeur for another mostly grim edition of the UConn Insider podcast. Amore and Jacobs break down the Huskies’ lackluster performances in a loss against Syracuse (1:30) and a win against Coppin State (2:50), the struggles of Terry Larrier and Jalen Adams to be leading men (4:45), the outside chorus of voices who feel the team isn’t playing as hard as its forebears (8:00), Dick Vitale’s premature burial of the program (15:00), Isaiah Whaley’s emergence (26:20) and Larrier’s mysterious benching (29:45). The duo of Amore and Jacobs then earns its nickname by taking different approaches in a spirited discussion on Alterique Gilbert’s injured shoulder and the perils of sifting through fan chatter for what may or may not be a scoop (32:00). The guys wrap things up by taking the pulse of a restless fan base (43:30).
