Mich. St was missing their best player tonight - Miles Bridges. Just saying......just saying
anybody that knows anything about college hoops knows that Mich St is still supposed to beat Northeastern at home. They were still favored by 11 after all.Mich. St was missing their best player tonight - Miles Bridges. Just saying.
Fair enough. My point, though, was that I'm tired of seeing people try to justify the Wagner/Northeastern losses. They were both terrible and inexcusable losses. Sadly, I think the coaching staff will get a free pass this year because of the injuries but those 2.5 games (half of LMU) when we had a full roster were scary.

There is no justification for UConn losing to Wagner or Northeastern. None. Let me be clear on that.Fair enough.

I won't really get into this as there's been countless threads and posts on it. Yes, my expectations are obviously tempered and whatever happens this year, happens. To me the season is already a success because we beat Cuse. However, I am still fully on board for a staff shake up after the season. Doubt it happens but I think it's needed. Between the lacking frontcourt development and our putrid offense, somethings gotta give. Just my two cents.The coaches prepared them the players were just prepared to go out there, they all looked like they were deer in headlights. Coaches can't slap them silly to get them to wake up and realize it's time, and if you need that then leave UConn because you don't have the mentality. They were a bunch of kids and newcomers trying to figure each other out while o the court. As we can see now, despite losing 3 players it's just coming together it's takes a long time with this many new players. Jalen wasn't new and he looked clueless as to how to be the man, basically scared. Shouldn't have lost those 2 but it's shared by players and staff, but the kids were scared.
The coaches have done a wonderful job and I'm having fun watching this team with very few expectations other than growing together to be better on 17-18. Whatever happens this year is gravy!
It's nothing to do with justification , we are not entitled for anything , it's sports, a lot went wrong in the start with lots of criticism of the coaches and players. I do believe the long road back has begun .There is no justification for UConn losing to Wagner or Northeastern. None. Let me be clear on that.
Settle down, NE is 6-5 with loses to BU, LIU, Stony Brook, Cornell and Harvard. They aint dancing this year.Depending on matchups, I'll be looking to have northeastern into the sweet 16.

If only they hadn't lost to Wagner, we could treat the N'Eastern loss as a one off.
