I remember that game well. Toby Bailey went off and had the game of his college career.

Siena gave it a good shot but they’re done.

I’ve been a UConn fan for 60 years. This is a Sweet 16 team at best.

I’m not going to pile on, as I’m sure many others will do that. Suffice it to say, they lost a game they should have easily won. This is a good team, but not a great one. Likely a Sweet Sixteen team at best and with some luck, maybe an Elite Eight team. But not an NC contender.

I’ve refrained from posting on the postgame threads because of the high level of angst, but I’ll weigh in tonight. This is a good team, but not a great team. Not even close. It has regressed as the season has progressed. No go to guy has emerged on offense, and the defense has gotten worse. The...

I had come up to Connecticut to visit and was supposed to go to the game with some of my old college friends. Our plans fell through and we never made it there that night.

This is a game that a good UConn team wins by 20. This team is mediocre. Given its current level of play it doesn’t deserve to make the tournament.

UConn 83-76

Marquette, 79-67

Agree regarding Tony Hanson and Bialosuknia. Also, Toby Kimball.

I’m not ready to throw in the towel after these two losses, but this team clearly has work to do. They will improve as the younger guys mature, but we as fans may have to accept that this team is not what the past two teams were and likely won’t be.

Thank you, Tom Lehrer.

What about Hugh Greer, Fred Shabel and Dee Rowe?
