I am surprised every time a Fran Haith coached team beats anyone decent.

No matter what happens the rest of this season that will go down as one of the more perplexing games I've ever seen the Huskies play.

St Joes was worse than the Wagner lose.
Wagner at least was an experienced disciplined team who returned all 5 starters from an NIT *team and were favored to win their league Injuries killed their season . That’s a scary first game when your team lacks cohesion.
But even the first half of the St Joes game didn’t bother me that much. That happens. It was our lack of adjusting in the second have that bothered me.
I believe the half time deficit was around 16
Coming out flying the second half and that game is tied before 10 minutes expired. We should win that game going away by
10-15 pts . Instead we out scored them by single digits. That was totally unacceptable. St Joes is an awful
team who would struggle with the decent mid majors we’ve played.
they will finish a distant last place in the A10.
*Getting an NIT bid in their league is a pretty decent achievement

Watching Creighton vs. Butler. UConn better get a lot better, quickly, or we are in for a tough season next year.

Tom Crean and Georgia take down Memphis on the road

Unless they are hiding someone deep on the bench, I'd say we are already there

This game was awesome. No Jefferies for Memphis today but it was still fun to watch

Next season will be tough, there is no doubt about it. The Big East will be very good with potentially 6-7 tourney teams.

Tulane and Cincinnati are tied at 69 with 3:03 left on CBSSN. Can’t believe I’m saying this- I’m scared about the Tulane game next week

Seems to be tough to win on the road in AAC. Temple destroyed on the road at Tulsa and Cincy loses at Tulane. So being at home may help UConn regroup.

Tulane wins by 5. Ron Hunter is a damn good coach.

And yet we keep making excuses for Hurley. Ron Hunter in year 1 beats Cinci and Utah and are improved from what they've been.

UNC down 27-6 at home to Georgia Tech.

 

[Jaker]

LOL, Tulane may clown us.

 

[FatHank]
