As Dominant as Hurley Has Made the Program, the Road is still a Harsh Place

How is that possible?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Gonna be a fun couple days around here.

 

[Leebo]

Ripper indeed.

 

[uconnfan68]

How is that possible?

We had a few losing seasons since then too.

 

[Ripper32]

How is that possible?

It's a pretty startling stat. This team was doing a lot of it's damage at neutral locations. I'm not saying it's an indictment on the state of the program, but just one of those phenomenons.

 

[EnochRoot]

Playing at neutral courts are where a lot of the team's non-conference ranked opponents come from.

Not sure what to make of this, but yeah, beating a good Nova, Marquette or yes, Creighton team in their own building would help to avoid this puss-filled acne.

Jan. 16, 2014 at Memphis. Wow. I wasn't even aware, prior to tonight.

 

[uconnbill]

I had one of those feelings before the game after the blow out this past weekend. I would rather it happen now then in another month

 

[Poe]

2 championships since then … is that good?

 

[Ripper32]

March 6th they play at Marquette. Could end this nonsense.

Don't call it a trap, because that's only to be used on games you lose to absolutely inferior opponents.

Dec 15th in Seattle was essentially a road game.

Game is a game is a game. And UConn has won a whole bunch of games that matter most. Comparatively, anyway. (o;

Everything is "one of those phenomenons."

LMAO that was in Seattle, but it's not a road game cuz Gonzaga was on the road as well?

I just had a bad feeling after the game this weekend. It is not a trap game, but a let down, to say the least. One player did his job and the rest didn't. That is it

 

[superjohn]

Now do Hurley's neutral court record the past two seasons. Guess where NCAA tournament games are played.

 

[GotNets?]

Exactly

 

[housekeys]

Very deceptive stat. From 2014-2023, UConn was in the skids. Outside looking in. There are a lot of bad "phenomenons" during this period. Let's see how the next few years go.

 

[navery12]

I'll be concerned when we get a road game scheduled in March

 

[bendm]

So we’ve won 2 chips in the 10 years since our last road win against a ranked team. Sign me up for another 10 like that.

 

[Deleted at users request]

Bizarre stat. But yeah the tournament is played on a neutral court. Get another chance to break this against Marquette too.

 

[AdamaNation]

We’ve also won the most titles with the fewest 5* recruits. Oh and 3 straight coached have won a ring here.

 

[SixRings]

It’s an impressive, negative, headline for the media to get attention but realistically, it’s not like we get that many chances to beat a ranked team on the road. I’m too busy to do the research. Frankly, I’d rather be really good at neutral court games - in which we have thrived.

 

[CTBasketball]

We deserved this L. And so do all the bozos on here.

 

[Greg]

Every team has some road struggles, hard to win on the road. I think ranked teams actually have a losing road record nationally

 

[willie99]

And yet we won two national championships and are in the mix for number three since then

Next

Hopefully no 2009 Michigan State brackets.
