At this point, what will you consider a successful season?

[Deleted at users request]

No. And it's not even close to being a concern.

If you are tremendously loud and wrong again would you at least own up to it?

 

[temery]

Nothing less than Elite 8.

 

[mauconnfan]

Win 20 games, win 2 games in BE tourney make the Dance win a game, then be very competitive against a team they just can’t beat.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Results-wise, I’d say make the tournament and win the first round game. Everything after is a bonus.

Play-wise I’d say run the offense and get good shots on every trip (no late clock desperation heaves), beat pressing D, reduce turnovers, and look like there’s a plan getting the darn ball inbounds.

I've already said multiple times I was completely wrong about Mahaney months ago

 

[DemonDeac22]

We are 17-8 and 9-5 in the Big East with 6 BE games left. We need to go at least 4-2 in those games and make it to the semis of the BE tourney to lock down an at-large bid to the NCAA. Our NET rating is #35 and makes us not a slam dunk to get that at-large bid today.

 

[SubbaBub]

Run the table, get a 6 seed and win it all.

 

[Deepster]

I don't need to read 6 pages.

At UConn we play for titles. Period. No title, no success.

 

[80shusky]

Realistically: Make the tourney, win a first round game, be at least competitive in a 2nd round game if not win it.
Hopefully: Make the tourney, win a first round game, some matchups break the right way, a couple of guys play out of their minds, go on a run.

 

[ctbro1999]

As much as it pains me to say it, making it to the Sweet 16 will be a huge accomplishment.

Have you looked at the competition for tourney spots?

Color me unconcerned even if we go 4-3.

Someone said it already, but I'd much rather grab a 10 seed than an 8-9. Give me a 7 & 2 than an 8 & 1. Seeds 4-11 look a lot alike and all very beatable.

Our chance of beating a Duke (which would smother us defensively) or an Auburn is close to 0%. Duke might at least be fun given the matchup. I'd much rather play highly rated offensive teams than defensive, because as we've seen this team can go into demoralizing ruts offensively when playing smothering defenses.

 

[LIuconn]

At large bid

 

[GotNets?]

Big success would be either:

• Winning the BET
• Elite 8

Positive outcome:

• 7 seed so we have better chance, leading to
• Sweet 16
• BET finals

 

[6Nattys4Us]

• 20 wins going into BET
• 2 wins in the BET
• Tourney seed 7 or 10
• Elite 8

Yeah, we would need a total collapse to completely fall out of the field. Talking like going 2-4 rest of the regular season, then getting bounced 1st round of the BET. That finish would probably saddle us with 3 more Q2 or worse losses. A 2-5 finish would put us at 19-13 (11-9). If that happened, definitely time to push the panic button, but I see us going 3-3 at worst and winning at least 1 BET game. If we do any worse than that, we don't deserve to be in the NCAAT anyways.

 

[05Alum]

Make big east tourney final
Win 1st round NCAA game
Compete in close 2nd round game (likely a 1 or 2 seed)

 

[LBird33]

NIT champs or bust

 

[HooperScooper]

UConn​

vs. Villanova, 6:30 p.m. | FS1
The Huskies, a No. 9 seed in the latest bracket projection, have a tournament résumé full of holes. Among their eight losses are two each in Quad 2 and Quad 3 and a total of five losses to teams not currently in the bracket. The worst of those is the latest one, a loss at Seton Hall. UConn also has five wins over teams in the bracket, including Texas, which is one of the "last four in." That inconsistency is why the Huskies have spent most of the season in the middle of the bracket and why they could eventually fall out. I would still be surprised if they did.

Let’s just win today so a loss vs St Johns doesn’t torpedo the season.

 

[Cucumber Jo]

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

Yet

 

[6Nattys4Us]

Noting Xavier has 4 games left, with 3 winnable so probably a loss to Creighton: 20-11.
We have 5 games left and need 3 of them for 21-10 so we are seeded in the BET above Xavier.

Winnable for us:

Georgetown
Seton Hall
@Providence

Will take a great game

@St. Johns
Marquette

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Right now, but this will change:

• Make it to the second weekend in the NCAA Tournament
• End the season with a lot of positive vibes about guys who can potentially return

 

[jibsey]

Beat St. John’s at The Garden.

 

[Willy Gee]

Would an NIT championship count toward a 3-peat?
