Does UConn Make the Tournament

[kansashusky]

If we are 100% healthy, I think so, but with James out for over a month, Andre out for a month, and Akok a non factor this year, looks like another missed tournament.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Take a hot sauce shot FFS

 

[Ts5034]

We will make the tournament. It's just we are getting to that point where we absolutely need Bouknight out there.

 

[aburks41]

We're gonna finish above .500 in the big east so yes. The last few games will be easy W's with bouk back

 

[UCfor3]

Depends when Bouk returns and what wins/games are possible due to Covid.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Bouknight is out for another month.

We're 7-3 now. We have 7 more games until he comes back, most likely, including Villanova. Seton Hall, and Xavier. Pretty good chance we go 3-4 or 2-5 over that stretch. That leaves us at 10-7 or 9-8 when Bouknight comes back.

5 more games, maybe 3-2 over that stretch, so optimistically, 13-9 going into the BET.

Is 14-10, with our best win being USC, possibly one of the Seton Hall or Villanova games, enough?

I don't see it, unless the Committee is generous in accounting for Bouknight being out.

Yes that record gets us in without any worries on Selection Sunday

 

[temery]

Yea

 

[tcf15]

Losses in the Big East won’t hurt our resume as much as losses in the AAC did, so I say yes, we still make the tournament.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Being 7-22 likely won’t get us in

 

[aburks41]

Our resume is fine as long as no more St Johns games happen. Losses to Creighton, Nova, and maybe Seton Hall/PC is not bad.

If we make the BET finals we're 100% dancing

 

[WrenchFan69]

It'll just be a timing thing. If we get enough games with Bouknight back, then yes. And if we get in, we're going to the Sweet 16 at least

 

[Ant3411]

Not the right question to ask right now. We obviously are a tournament team - why ask the question?? Healthy we are top 15 and everyone knows that

I hate this place.

If any of these 3: Jackson, Akok, Bouknight ever play another minute of UConn basketball I’ll pour a whole bottle of Frank’s into my eyes.

Because we're fans of the team and care about whether we go to the Tournament?

1) We are definitely not "obviously a tournament team"
2) "Healthy we are top 15" doesn't mean ____ because that's completely subjective and the Committee has total discretion about whether to take Bouknight's absence into account.

 

[ucawn]

I think we’ll go 2-1 to close out Jan so we’d be 6-4 in BE and 9-4 overall. Maybe we can pick up a win over PC, and Xavier or Seton Hall without Bouk, get Bouk back and run through these fools picking up a quality win over Nova.

 

[Hi-Low]

50-50

We gave away 2 games so it won't be easy.

 

[BigFanCT]

I guess I just don’t see how the answer is so easy, when we’ve lost to St. John’s, scored 66 points with a lot of those coming in garbage time, looking like we may struggle with Butler on Tuesday and our best player may not be coming back until 3rd week of Feb. To me that seems like a lot more things can go wrong then right.

I don’t want to see this thread after another loss is what I’m saying. Let me/us recover from another loss. I don’t need to talk about missing the tournament 1 minute after our team gave it their all while extremely outmatched.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Exactly. Today was going to be an L regardless but you just can’t lose games like Monday and expect to go dancing.

It is a race against time right now. The more games we play without Bouknight vs the top teams in the conference the worse it’s going to be. We have Villanova on Thursday at home and chances are Bouk will not play. It’s frustrating because we are not facing these teams at full strength.

 

[HeGotGame]

If any of these 3: Jackson, Akok, Bouknight ever play another minute of UConn basketball I’ll pour a whole bottle of Frank’s into my eyes.

Same person who said football would not played once we hit November, same person who said there was not going to be a basketball season, same person who said there would not be an NCAA tournament. You seem fun.

3 margaritas deep, pissed about the loss and health of the team. Maybe I just need to stay away from the Boneyard bait until I’m level headed.

 

[gampelcrazies]

To me they aren't without Bouknight. You just have to hope too much damage isn't done before he returns.
