Dayum.

Context. No context. Compared to any team of any era.

Damn.

I bet Dan couldn't believe he even thought of considering Pitt over us. Look at what this man has done.

In Dan, we trust.

Largest margin for a BE Conference winner -- four games.

What's equally as impressive is 18-2 in BE play. Will that ever be matched again?

This felt like the year to do it with so many coaches still relatively new to their programs and in the beginning stages of instilling a culture.

This was a vintage UConn team, like that stretch in the 90s where we'd regularly go 16-2 in the Big East and be top 5 wire to wire.

I don't think anyone genuinely believed that after the KO disaster that we'd get back to this level.

This is when I always like to mention that the 3 Ray Allen teams went an insane 49-5 over 3 Big East regular seasons. So we’d have to go 31-3 over our next 34 conference games just to tie them . They also had a 17-1 year and realistically would have gone 19-1 if they had 2 more conference games. They were awesome.

With the two schools tied for second place both in the top ten

The three year Ray Allen run of 49-5 in league play will probably never be matched. But this sure feels good.

I have to keep reminding myself how many significant pieces were lost from last year’s squad. Sanogo, Hawkins, Jackson, Joey C, and Alleyne all gone and they go 28-3….

We lost a guy that made 50 threes at 45% clip and he was the 4th most important guy we lost. We only returned 43% of our minutes.

And then we went 28-3.

What an absolutely special season we are having. This is insane. Most wins over a two season span is 66 in 98 and 99. last season we had 31 now we have 28 so we are 7 wins away from tying the record, 8 from breaking it and 9 from immortality.

Which is exactly why Dan Hurley absolutely deserved to be Big East coach of the year.

Let's hope this UConn team finishes like the 1999 team and not like the mid 1990s teams
