Agreed. Didn't that win get a monkey off their backs about winning a game in the BET also?

Yup. They won in 2005 against Georgetown, and then lost to Syracuse.
2006, lost first round to Syracuse in McNamara's great run.
2007, lost first round again to Syracuse
2008, lost first round to West Virginia
2009, lost first round to Syracuse in 6OT (hard to believe players like Adrien/Price/Austrie/Dyson never won a BET game...)
2010, lost first round to St. John's.
2011, won the whole thing...all of the things.

Especially since they went to a Final Four.

Extra game though. The more games we ask this team to win makes our chances slimmer too!
The old "If we can't beat Houston we don't deserve to go to the tournament" argument applies. *Edit* which is why we don't currently deserve to go to the tournament.
It's known as parity and it's going to be with us for some time. Recruiting success is the sole true medicine!

I can't believe the next tier below us is Tulane, East Carolina, UCF, Houston, and USF. If there is a worse group of teams in any conference in the nation, I haven't seen it. And that is UConn's company. Never thought I'd see the day.
Onward and upward. Let's hope for a miraculous turnaround.

Oh, our conference is bad? What an original complaint.

It's just an observation. And my complaint has nothing to do with the conference. It's that we're a mid-level team in that crap conference. The bottom of the Big East was crappy too...not like I'd have been stoked to have UCF and USF as our company in the old conference either.

small technicality in that Memphis is currently the 4 seed due to head-to-head win over Cincinnati. If UC beats Memphis at home and wins at Tulsa, they would hold the tie-breaker over every team in the conference provided SMU stays in first place.

The 6th slot/seed is the best place to be. Losing to Memphis was a good loss from a match-up bracket perspective. Funny how that worked out...

Except, you know, that whole extra game you've gotta play.

I think home court would really help mitigate the disadvantage of that extra game. A final against SMU would have husky fans hanging from the rafters spitting bullets. A season from h*** all of a sudden turned into Selection Sunday viewing parties all around Connecticut!
