1) Any team that misses the playoffs is in the same boat we are in. Bowling is now the target. 2) Better to lose early than late in the season. Humans have an amazingly short memory. 3) We are competitive and worth watching. We can only get better.

UConn repped by the Fairfield team a few ways. Apparently the dad of the Greek Taxiltaridis twins, played for the UConn football team.

That is the way I think it's done. BTW, the strength of the Fairfield team is their best players are down the middle of the field. Their center fielder, their pitcher and their catcher are top notch. An important core for a team. Throw in a steady SS/2B and "the rest", and you have a good team.

NK - "If he ever sees the floor, UConn is cooked" That is the glass half empty point of view. I say, if he ever sees the floor, he is developing at a much faster pace. Not what I expect, but he could not have picked a much better "sandbox" to improve his skills. He will be challenged with...

It looks to me like Furphy makes others around him better. If you ignore him, he can hurt you. If you focus on him, he positions himself in such a way that others get better looks. The way you play off the ball is as important as it is playing with the ball. That fits nicely with the UConn...

If we win 13 of 12 we should be in.

Sadly, Creighton's 2 bunts proved more meaningful than UConn's 2 solo homers. That's baseball.

Most St John's fans would rather wear their "we beat UConn twice in a season" T-shirts. Now THAT is a worthy achievement.

Very happy for him and I think UConn coaching staff is happy too. That's all that matters. I will now sheepishly act as if I know basketball. IMHO, I think he needs to work on his handle and situational awareness. No more deer in the headlight moments. Put the ball on the floor with confidence...

Or when getting the evil stare when declaring we are "the basketball Capital of the World", as someone mentioned earlier.

Isn't there a Planck's constant or something that is used when doing a women to men comparison? Or is it a degree of difficulty coefficient of like, say, 2, that gets multiplied. IDK.

Hey, anything that will increase our chance to get into the SEC /s

The way Houston beat Duke and the way Florida beat Houston is telling. In today's game the aggressor is rewarded. Until it isn't. Houston aggression all season helped them rise to the F4. It only took 2 minutes of passive play, to cost them. BTW, UConn had similar "difficulties" in-bounding...

I like the way you're thinking. BTW, the 2014 UConn team did beat the #1 overall seed Florida, in the semi's.

Because we are on earth and not the planet Vulcan. Hypothetical discussions are a synonym for "message board".
