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.

If we beat SMU tomorow night, we're running the table. Put your bets down now. No, I'm not drunk.

High?
Lit?
Buzzed?
Stoned?
Doped up?
Wasted?
Like your enthusiasm and sunny side outlook. I'm with ya but I am one of the above!!
 
Back to 6th place we go (actually, this looks more appealing than being in the other half of the bracket):

Think I'd prefer 7 to 6 in that scenario, but only if Tulsa retains #2.

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.

Kinda of challenging for me to look at that chart and feel confident we can run the table.

This year every game has been a war, and that won't change in Hartford. Its just been that type of season.

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!
 
2/23 UPDATE - no changes really

Dougie last nite had a good argument for staying in fifth place. your are playing at home, play two lesser teams, then possibly meet SMU.

He said it would be best to stay in the 6th position and avoid SMU until the final

Yeah, right now, 6th place would give us Houston, Temple (who just lost @Tulsa by 16), then either Tulane, USF or Tulsa before getting to the championship. I wouldn't mind that.

Plus Cincy (which swept SMU) on the other side of the bracket poised to take out the Mustangs. Too bad we can't freeze it now, that really would be a perfect setup. A lot of games between the top 6 to go though.
 
Memphis could very easily lose out. I think 5 is still our more likely end result. Which might mean we still get Temple as the 4 (Cincy will probably pass or tie them and Cincy has tiebreaker) but wouldn't get to avoid SMU.
 
Not saying this will happen but it's not entirely impossible to get the 3 seed if they won out. Not sure what the tie breakers are but it's still possible.

If we won out and were tied with any of the other 3 at 12-6, we'd lose to Cincy (worse W-L vs SMU), lose to Memphis (worse W-L vs Cincy), and beat Temple (better W-L vs either SMU or Tulsa).

Basically we would need to win out, have Cincy lose two, and Memphis lose one other (besides their 3/5 loss to us). Ran the numbers real quick using Pomeroy's current WP and there's about a 3.3% chance of that happening.
