Was thinking the same thing. Do we have just 1 win against them since this atrocity of a conference became home?

i give them 0 credit for that win...between uncontested missed layups under the basket throughout the 2nd half, and that last 6 minutes that I hope we never speak of again, they did very little to "earn" that win as the announcer commented

So far this season, I am more confident when this team has a 1 point lead rather than, say a 10-20 point lead.

No, this had everything to do with coaching. Love KO but maybe he'd be better in LA

I want to be in a better conference as much as the next guy, but if we can't beat these teams or win this conference, we don't have any leverage in those conversations.

It's disgusting that we can't win this conference. Absolutely terrible. We should be a 1-3 loss team in conference play year to year. I'm fine with KO being here for his '16 and '17 classes but he needs to clear out the staff.

That's not entirely true, but it sure is embarrassing for us as UConn fans to complain "we're better than this conference", when we've been a middle of the road team in this conference every year we've been in it.

At this point, we're a university with a great woman's team, a great field hockey team, a decent soccer program, a mid-top 100 men's hoop team and a football team that is still years away from recovering from the Paul Pasqualoni disaster.

What part of that resume says Power 5 to anyone?

Was saying the same exact thing. We gave them that game. I don't care what anyone says, we were the better team tonight overall for 35 minutes. But unfortunately, in this game you need to be the better team for 40 minutes.

We are the most or second most talented team in the conference and we play like crap throughout random bouts of the game and throughout the year.

Temple didn't fear us and knew they could take us even when down double digits.

Hence they didn't panic and their coach had them keep their focus, composure and determination.

what part of the mens soccer program has been decent in 10 years?
