That is the standard for success.

Losing to a historically bad Seton Hall team the way we lost to them will do that to people. AK's comments after the game give an added "the sky is falling" feel to things.This place has gotten very funny very quickly. What’s the ven diagram of people saying after Creighton that we were a sleeper final four team with those now saying they just hope we get a bid and don’t embarrass ourselves? A circle?
We don’t do anything halfway around here.
Sweet 16, which is still very achievable. And despite what a few people here want to believe, we are not on the bubble or in danger of missing the tournament
Honestly, no. I don't see a scenario where they close out the season 3-4, but even if they do I think we'd be in. The bubble this year is HORRIBLE. The teams on the bubble right now have 10 or 11 losses, and that's only going to increase over the next monthIf the 68 team field were drawn up today—-yes they would be in no danger of missing.
But there is a lot of season left. After yesterday there are no more “games they should win”. They lost that privilege. Do you not objectively see a scenario where lose 3-4 more games in regular season and then one in MSG?
3-3 regular season and 0-1 in MSG is 20-12 with a couple horrendous losses. No Big East team is getting in with that record. And that’s not even the worst possible outcome!
So yeah…..they control their own destiny. Win and you’re in. But missing tourney is very much on the table.

If you're speaking about the team, don't worry, they won't.I just don’t want to embarrass ourselves.
Or it's just fans reacting to our worst loss since the 2019-2020 season under Hurley and arguably our biggest late game meltdown we've seen as Husky fans.What I believe would make this a successful season would be for us to win enough games from here out where we won't have 85% of the Boneyard behaving as if they need their mommies to change their diapers and give them pacifiers. Sadly, it appears that there are many here who would need to see us cutting down the nets in San Antonio or they'll be throwing temper tantrums all summer. Worse, there are a few here who would still complain even if we did pull that off, griping that we should have won more games in Npovember and in conference play.
Hope is not.a strategy. We are 25 games into the season and everyone knows what we're working with and the spectrum. The team still has the opportunity to show us something different that's sustainable and turn some sort of corner. It hasn't happened yet 25 games in. We are all waiting for it.3-Peat or Bust. Were UConn. A Blueblood. We have 3 players who could put up 30 on anyone Sickening to read the defeatists posts on this thread. It's time for the BY to man up.

People can be mad about the loss. They don’t have to jump off the deep end though. Every single fan base in college hoops would trade their situation for what UConn fans have experienced recently. It’s important to keep perspective.Or it's just fans reacting to our worst loss since the 2019-2020 season under Hurley and arguably our biggest late game meltdown we've seen as Husky fans.
The fan base has lost their minds.If you're speaking about the team, don't worry, they won't.
If you're speaking about our fan base, you're too late, that ship has sailed.
