Yeah, nothing incorrect about what I said, thats probably why you didn't post any corrections to that statement

Some of y’all will complain to the death about Creighton having our number but I’d like to shout out a really impressive regular season.

Losing the #11 pick in the last NBA draft and not gaining much in terms of freshmen contribution is unarguably a credit to Dan Hurley and the staff

Let’s do work @ MSG

I predicted 25 regular season wins for this team and wouldve been right too if it wasnt for those meddling kids from Crayton and Xavier.

I know everyone hates my post and I can live with that and have no regrets posting it, but your response is the best way to sum it all up to how I feel about this team.

No it’s not. What he said is not at all what you’ve been saying
 
UconnFanDC said:
Never did I belittle the wins. I simply said, I wasn't impressed. Many were close wins, at home or against teams missing key players. Then the loss to Creighton w/o their point guard just doesn't give me a sense of confidence or what this team is really made of. We didn't do great against the top BE teams. That's fact!
Expand ...
That’s a you problem

Go root for the big east team in your city

I actually root for all BE teams to do well. It strengthens Uconns resume to be in a conference that's successful. Lol. So I do root for Gtown when they play out of conference along with all other BE teams.

A lot of people have been hard on this team, me included, but this is about in-line with expectations for this season. So far it has definitely been a success. I'll take #3 in the big east and what will hopefully be at worst a 5 seed. That's a really solid year, and if we can make it to the second weekend, anything else is gravy. I'm just concerned that some of our deficiences might hurt us in the BET and NCAAs.

This my exact take 100%. Their margin for error is very slim against good opponents
 
With the win today, over the last 3 seasons, we are 14-1 in our last 5 games of the regular season. Hurley & Co. get our teams peaking at the right time. Hoping we carry momentum through both tourneys.

UConn MBB is a ton of fun again if you let yourself enjoy it!
 
Fabulous regular season. We all know our flaws and we did a great job minimizing them down the stretch. Great job Dan Hurley.

UconnFanDC said:
Lol I love Uconn but hey, it's the truth. All ranked teams we beat were missing key players except the Nova win at home. We have not beaten any top team on the road
Expand ...

Huh
 
UconnFanDC said:
Outside of the Auburn win (who was missing a key player), the Nova win at home was only really good win. We did not do anything else away from home that was impressive. Ijs
Expand ...
Auburn wasn’t missing a key player. They were missing like their 5th or 6th option.

He's a starter, a returning experienced player who did not play in a key early game. But this isn't about Auburn. That's not the issue since you want to comment on every thing I post. The point was a player was missing, we didn't beat a top BE team on the road with the exception of Marquette which was missing a key player. What can this team actually do has yet to be truly determined. But we'll see what the players and coaching do when we start BE Turney/NCAA's. And again, I have not been impressed outside of Nova and Auburn and I am absolutely ok to feel this way. Just like many of you who are critics on what you choose to criticize. Lol

You can look up what "fact" means! How about ask your question for your reasoning to say "huh" and I can give you an answer

It’s a dumb comment by you meant to downplay UConns success.

I am more optomistic that our strengths might help us. The team is clicking on most cylinders. Sanogo is a mismatch down low, Jackson is playing more in control, Polley is starting to hit from 3. This is a well balanced team that can win multiple ways. That should translate to success in a tournament. I get concerned about teams that are one diminesional. UConn clearly is not.

They are solid, competitive team with some weaknesses that Hurley really struggles to manage at times. I can see this team taking down a top 10 on any day, but sustained high level play against a series of high quality teams is a very tall order.
Expand ...
We shall see.

The tourney is, after all, a series of 3 2-game, single elimination, weekend tournaments.

Lots can happen.

Regarding the resume - we have wins against teams missing key players. We also have losses missing some key Huskies. Overall a solid resume and I think we will, at worst, be a 6 seed. Very satisfying to have a 20 win regular season again.

Lol congrats on the worst dislike ratio I've seen on the yard to-date. Truly impressive.

And to follow up with multiple desperation posts to try to defend your innane stance. *chefs kiss

No more feeding the trolls, guys.

Wrong assumption. Not trying to defend myself lol. Only responding to those that required one.

This team is good but not great or "impressive". Still inconsistent to close out games and the lack of depth can be a problem. The fact that i read some of you are so afraid to play Nova before facing Providence makes my statement supported. Let's not be afraid to play anyone.
 
Given the last few years and the struggles of the football team - I'm more than happy to accept a few seasons where we just finish 3rd in the Big East and top 20 nationally.
