14-5 with 11 games to go.

[Palatine]

Playing above .500 the rest of the way gets us to 20 wins.

USF, @SJU, @Seton Hall, Cuse, Nova, Cinny, @DePaul, G'town, @Cinny, @USF, PC.

Most of our tough games are at home. Our lesser opponents tend to be at their places. Given what we saw in Providence last night, only DePaul looks like a certain W. But if we play well, 7 or 8 wins isn't out of the question.

If we hit 20 wins it would be a huge accomplishment this year- huge. It also would be a giant to the NCAA, the ACC and the BE all of which I spit on PE-TOOWEY!!!!!!!

 

[EricLA]

Huge accomplishment is right. At the start of the year i thought going .500 (15-15) was a realistic expectation. Anything about that I thought would be a very good year. Getting to 18 wins would be an outstanding year, and having a record that would put us in the big dance in any other year impossible. This team has done way better than I certainly thought, and I'm really psyched for the future.

Ollie's already proven he can coach and motivate. He and the staff are really aggressive in going after quality kids all over the country in recruiting. I think everyone knows we got a really good one!!

 

[Dove]

As soon as he beat Izzo I was hoping for .500 in the BE. UConn's final record will be a testament to Ollie's coaching ability more that talent available to him. 20 wins would be amazing.

 

[UConn5]

we're getting 22 wins.

KO will certainly get that contract extension...oh wait...he already got it. If they get 20 Ws, that is one heck of an accomplishment considering how undermanned they are in the post.

The fact that they won last night while getting the kicked out of them on the boards was surprising and impressive. I hope they can find a way to improve on the glass to where they don't get out-rebounded as badly as they did last night. They had a couple games where they seemed to do a good job of team rebounding but they seemed to have regressed.

Well, not everyone. But I agree...anyone with a open mind and respectable opinion.

 

[UC990411]

Maybe I'm a homer but I expected 20 wins, anything less isnt accepted here, we're UConn. I liked our guards and Daniels at the beginning of the year and i like them more now. We don't accept mediocrity. I don't care about the talent level or coaching. Make it work, our tradition is excellence. If you strive for mediocrity it starts to become the norm

 

[joober jones]

We're exceeding expectations because we have one of the most intelligence-heavy and integrity-heavy squads we've ever had. All of these kids strike me as being of excellent character and nobody is in trouble off the court. Everyone (except Evans) will be back next year and they'll be hungry. Watch out, whatever conference that's getting us...

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

I called 11-7 in the BE before the season started because of our guards. Putting that aside the real statement now would be to finish the regular season ranked in the Top 25. 12-6 with a win over Syracuse should pull that off.

 

[Robertelamin]

Screw it, just win the rest.

 

[len0322]

coming into the season, i thought a 500 record would be a big success. Regardless of win/loss record, love how this team has played hard and showed up for every game. Could definitely flirt with 20. big tip of hat to staff and players

 

[BoatShow]

The final game against PC needs to be packed well in advance of tip and stay packed well after the final whistle.

 

[BoatShow]

^^I said the same thing about the Cinci football game and we all know how that worked out...time will tell.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I agree that we need to make a statement that we're still UConn and we're not going anywhere. Unfortunately, we're not going to win the BE or play any games in March. But we can finish in the Top 25 and force the pundits to talk about how we should be playing in the Tournament if not for this NCAA vendetta.

 

[Kitaman]

Hell 14 is an accomplishment; HOF Coach retired, new coach, donut team, new staff, no NCAA playoffs, new players, youthful team, no BET, conference jumpers, etc. Did I miss anything?

 

[arnie3]

I thought that a 14 win season was about right, given the thinness of the front line. So I'm ecstatic. This team is playing with house money as far as I'm concerned!

 

[NEforceUConn]

I thought a well known poster was quoting just 10 wins, can't seem to remember his name.
