Rooney!

 

[Waquoit]

I love this guy

He's been an early adopter of UConn.

 

[Storrs South]

He's been an early adopter of UConn.

Which is funny because a lot of his tweets preseason he sounded skeptical of the Huskies but he was very quick to adjust once the games started

 

[Storrs South]

Could be the first time in what I guess is 16 years since MBB is ranked higher than WBB

 

[imno1]

Didn‘t realize Hubert Davis’s mom gets a vote but noticed UNC had 1 in the others receiving votes.

 

[YoungFree]

#5!!! But still have a 60% chance of losing Thursday. When we were #8 it was only 50%....

They have a 0% chance of losing Thursday.

 

[Khal Drogo]

Yeah, Houston is very overrated. They are a good defensive team, but limited on offense. Winning games by less than 10 points against crap teams while only scoring in the 50’s isn’t very impressive to me…

They play Alabama this weekend, which should be interesting

Sounds like a lot of the fan base.

Cause Sampson’s playing amiwrite!

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Rooney!

Wild top ten for him. Duke at 6, Auburn at 7, and Baylor at 9 all ahead of UConn.

 

[August_West]

Sounds like a lot of the fan base.

Could you imagine where we'd be without this piss poor OOC scheduling?! Shizzle wasn't willing to buy a Gampel ticket to watch his team. It's about November "events", not about building success to March or shizzle won't go.

I'm not driving to narnia.

 

[HooperScooper]

The big east officially runs through Storrs

Are you stealing Jon Rothstein's material?

 

[CTBasketball]

He's been an early adopter of UConn.

He’s a Providence-based reporter who mainly follows PC Hoops. He’s also very pro-Big East.

 

[g_smith]

This is the best part of the climb. Nobody rush this season! No one! We have a lot to be hopeful for.

 

[aburks41]

Looks like a worthless guarantee.

I'm very happy to have been wrong. I'm glad the voters got that one right

Usually people like it when a plan comes together.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Totally agree.

Baylor will be interesting to see where the go being 1-1 last week With the win being over darling Gonzaga.

A sigh of relief that Baylor isn't ahead of us. Shouldn't dodging them in the Big 12 challenge get counted as a forfeit? Plus, we haven't really played anybody good. And now that our conference stinks, we're pretty much cooked. Unless we can get our free throws made comfortably above 80%.

Ever the optimist, I will celebrate the #5 ranking, breathe steadily, and return to taking one game at a time. I am hopeful that the coaches, players, and fans do the same.

Saturday's game is a big deal.

 

[UofCT]

Rooney!

Bumped into this guy in Weston, CT like 20 years ago.

Like I said, this should be very, very low variance. It's also collapsed to a unimodal distribution.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Not only are we #5, but we are ranked above Duke, Kentucky, UNC & Kansas! 0 blue bloods above us, that is awesome.

 

[YoungFree]

They have a 0% chance of losing Thursday.

U got me. Lol. I meant Wednesday. Good catch!

 

[awfuldan]

They have a 0% chance of losing Thursday.

If UConn loses in 4OT at 12:15am on Thursday, @superjohn will be to blame.

 

[polycom]

If we want to be number 1 we need to win by 30+ but I trade a March run for a Dec #1 rank.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Saturday's game is a big deal.

But first, Wednesday.

 

[alphasigko]

Let's hope that they keep their heads by not believing the hype...
