I knew the whining would start
Thank you for your interest in UConn basketball.
"outside of our first top 10 win, our second top 10 win was our best win." great point, thanks.
Well there are no away games left this season
Lol I love Uconn but hey, it's the truth. All ranked teams we beat were missing key players except the Nova win at home. We have not beaten any top team on the road
Actually all games left are away from CT
Go root for the big east team in your city
That's like us removing one of our 7 pnt scores Whaley and a team beat us, ie Michigan State and they say same thing.
semantics. all games left are neutral court games, not true "away games".
Except Flannigan does not start, plays guard, and has an offensive efficiency rating 20 points lower than Gaffney.
Well then you should probably look at the neutral court record this year, considering college basketball has by far the most impactful home court advantage of any sport.
flanigan averaging 6/3/1 on 40/20/65 splits. whaley averaging 8/5/1 on 55/30/75 splits. whaley is also our best defender. but you can make this point if you want to.
There are definitely some red flags, but none of them are reason for @UconnFanDC to be dropping a turd in the punch bowl tonight.
If I remember correctly, UConn also beat Marquette on the road and finished the regular season with a .733 winning %, meaning UConn beat a number of decent teams on the road.
Not sure where or how you see this as whining lol. It's my observation. If we're real with ourselves, we've been good but not impressive. Look at the losses and games we barely won, nothing to be comfortable about going into NCAA's. No dominate performances
If you read my posts, I have said we get too high with wins and low with losses. Our record is about what I would have expected. Are we a lock for sweet 16? No. But to belittle the accomplishments of this team, is as Bill Maher would say “whiny little B”
Your point makes no sense. Marquette was one of the teams definitely missing a key player. And what the heck does Hurly taking over years ago have to do with the topic of this being an impressive season. Like many on here, I actually have never dogged Hurley. Again, remove Nova at home and Auburn, missing a key player, no real impressive dominant wins. I do think Uconn can upset a top team with their A game but we get shaky towards the end of games lately
My point makes perfect sense. This team continues to improve year after year. You point out that Marquette was missing a player, but a good chunk of our losses came when we were without some of our key players such as Martin, Sanogo, and Whaley.
Difference being this group is a team. Last year it was Bouk & Co.
I tend tend to be more critical than most UConn fans, but stop discounting the auburn victory please. I have watchEd Auburn plenty of times and Flanagan is far from a critical player for them. This UConn team is good, but far from great.
