10 Games In: A few scattered thoughts

[TheChamps990411]

I look at this team:

Boat sr
Purv soph
Dham frosh
Facey soph
Brimah soph
Tsam soph
Nolan jr
Omar jr
Lubin frosh

and all i keep thinking is Damn we`re young but we could be really really really good. Next year. Or maybe it comes together by feb/march i just dont know but the potential is there. The starting 5 has played less than ten games together and have looked much improved over the last couple of games. What are they going to look like after game 30 games together? Last season we werent looking very good going into march and this team came out and played nothing like the team we saw most of last season. I dont know about national titles but i would not be surprised if this team is really clicking going into the tourney and ends up knocking off one of the favorites.

Good original post, although I disagree with the conclusion. Uconn is not close to a Sweet 16 team right now. Uconn is an NIT team unless either Brimah or UConn's outside shooting get a lot better.

Nelson do you have any positive thoughts on the state of UConn basketball? Your post are always doom and gloom

Considering today's game this team isn't any younger than most. But I agree that we could surprise some if we are really clicking. We haven't seen it yet but our best ball is ahead of us. I think tomorrow"s game will be a good indicator. Are moving in the right direction or a hit or miss season.

I would love to have positive thoughts believe me and maybe one is just how hard we fought after losing our best player, but Nelson is just being real here. We have no threats from the outside that would make any team worry. Today 1 for 9 that's 11%, but against decent competition we're what about 25%? The sad thing is that our big men are getting the job done. I do not fault the effort on this team just the talent in shooting skills and what can you do about that really?
