Boneyard hysteria

[Yardigan]

That's the thing I'm really wondering - will we go through this every year moving forward?

Yes. Without a doubt.

It's a monumental moment in Husky Hoops ("is the price increase worth the product?" ....that is basically the consensus for the insane spike in season ticket prices the FANS have seen (this is not a post to discuss that)).... Huskies are officially back in the spotlight of the CBB world and there is no doubt that Coach Hurley's energy was magnetic from the start....HOWEVER....there comes a point when what is coming out of your mouth needs to come to fruition for the UCONN FAITHFUL to trust ....here is a list of goals that might be pivotal to the success desired for next year and beyond:

1. Schedule Creighton @ Harry A. Gampel Pavilion on a mid/late Saturday afternoon in February
2. Don't get embarrassed at the Phil Knight Invitational
3. Win the 1st Big East Conference game (we lost to Providence last year....)
4. Hurley to not blame the FANS at all during the year (maybe tone it down a bit all together and start getting it done in between the lines....)
5. Beat Creighton (don't care where, don't care how....)
6. Finish Top 3 in BE standings (should be Top 2 but Top 3 is acceptable with the above listed items checked off....)
7. Make BE Tourney Final (should be "win it all" but this is the big bad BIG EAST right....)
8. WIN AN NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME!!!!

....but what do I know

1. Love that
2. Love that
3. Sure, don't disagree, think thats more getting momentum than anything else right?
4. This one is a 2-way street. The way we get down on the team you would think we've been to 4 straight final fours rather than won 1 tournament game in 8 years. Need to accept the climb back to the top isn't going to be a straight shot up. Nothing wrong with holding the team accountable, but got to remember these are kids we are rooting for on and off the court, who are doing their best.
5. 100% love that
6. Agree, big east is going to be loaded this year a top 3 finish would be BIIIG
7. Win it all!
8. Sweet 16!
