This is not to say that UConn is great, but they have not lost to a team with an RPI rating worse than 28. Which means at the very least, they have not lost to a team yet this year, that they were expected to beat. At the beginning of the season, with Gilbert, I anticipated them being somewhere around 40 - 50 in the RPI ratings, borderline bubble team. They sure do need to beat a team in that class to be considered for the tournament(yes I am still and always hopefull) but those 6 loses were all against excellent to very good squads. They have lots of new moving parts....maybe they put it together at the end of the year and steal a couple of big ones and a least look a team on the rise...even if(I know this does not sound good) it means they would be only NIT bound. now go ahead and bash away at my analysis.
