Probably! Here's our upcoming schedule:

1/10: vs. UCF
1/13: @ Tulane
1/16: @ Memphis
1/20: vs. Villanova
1/25: vs. SMU
1/28: @ Temple
1/31: @ UCF
2/3: vs. Cincinnati
2/7: vs. USF

The only team worse than us on this list, going by Kenpom, is Memphis. But obviously we're playing on the road where we're a disaster, and it'll be the second straight game on the road at that. Historically, KO's teams have not done great in those situations.

My guess is we don't win another game until February 7. And I think there's a decent chance we just saw Ollie's final wins as UConn head coach.

Only games I see UConn having a chance against are Tulane, Memphis and USF. But, yeah, KO and road games don't go together very well. This is going to be rough.

KenPom has us 1-9 over the next ten.

3-7 over the next ten, and that's being optimistic. I would not be surprised if we go 1-9

It's likely, certainly 7 out of 8.

I’ll guess another losing season, that much seems certain at this point. I wonder how many years ago we had back to back losing seasons? We’ve already broke a 30+ year record with our first losing season last year. As someone who has religiously followed every single game, frequently watching each game more than once during the off the season, since 1988, I’ve mentally checked out. I just want to have that feeling again of hope. I just cannot bear another season with Kevin Ollie.

While we're looking at depressing KenPom stats -- look at our company around the rankings. Iona, Lipscomb, Northeastern, Idaho, Rider. Just sad to see where the program stands.

I’m thinking 3-6 but you never know. We could win 4-5 of those games if the team plays hard and shoots better. I’m concerbed that they could give up tho and win 1 or 2. The Cobb thing makes me think the latter

With general overall inconsistency, and the tendency to play up and down, usually to the level of competition, I'd imagine they could at minimum squeak one win out. idk But 0-8 seems a stretch.

Took me a minute, but haha.

To be clear it's nothing against scrappy I think he's a great poster. And to channel his optimism I'll go ahead and say 8-0!

I translated it as, he's seen the writing on the wall and was changing theme to 'crappy'. Not that he himself was crappy.

Looking at the entire schedule, I don’t see more than 6 remaining wins, more likely 5. That would put us at 14-17 at best.

Scary, especially looking at the names and still acknowledging this. This isn’t exactly Nova, Cuse, Georgetown, Pitt, Notre Dame, West Virginia etc
