Geno & UCONN have been figuring out how to win for a long, long time.
It’s been even longer since they’ve had to come up with a formula that would enable them not to lose.
Two very different missions.
And let’s not be too dismissive of our conference opponents.
If the OOC coaches & players can spot & exploit our weaknesses, so can they.
Whatever the circumstances ( injury, reliance on freshmen, lack of size, poor ball handling, etc.) the quality differential between UCONN & some of the Big East squads is no longer the lopsided joke it used to be.
If, in November 2022 we were told that we would drop games to Marquette & St.John’s, the hoots & howls of derision would have been deafening.
Like confidence & success, dejection & defeat can also be contagious.
Like it or not, BE play will not be a vacation or breather this season.
Geno & staff are going to have to come up with some answers ( & everything is on the table) in fairly short order.
It’s not a matter of patience vs panic.
You either have an elite program with a commitment to excellence or you don’t.
