Calling Sat Bonnie game a must win...

[LIuconn]

Not a must win but kinda a must win

Espn2 shows 4pm start, but 3:30pm everywhere else. Which is it ?

 

[UofCT]

Unless we want a lot of league games to be must wins, it's a must win.

The women's game is at 1 so I think it'll be closer to 4. Not sure how much time will be between games but I assume it'll be at least a half hour

Except Lofton is playing.

Maybe not.

St. Bonaventure basketball faces No. 15 Connecticut, in pursuit of a key win

NEWARK, N.J. – At first glance, the matchup between the St. Bonaventure men’s basketball team and Connecticut might have lost a little luster after West Virginia edged out the shorthanded

Never been to Newark, and I hope I can say the same when I die.

They do sort of go together. I once had a professional conference at a hotel there in the 70's and I was advised not to leave the hotel! Once upon a time a great city like Bridgeport. Then riddled with crime and corruption. Both cities need a rebirth.

Going to be interesting to watch pre-game warmups to see if it looks like Martin and Lofton will play. I imagine both coaches are being secretive with their plans. My guess is they're both going to play.

Anything on Martin?

Anything on Martin?

I guess I can answer my own question. No update yet.

I miss Butch.

If UConn loses today, they won’t be ranked the entire rest of the year. IMO.

 

[dvegas]

With Lofton out, and what will be a "home" crowd advantage, this is a must win game.

 

[87Xfer]

Wow, great to see that Martin's even a possibility. Seems like he should be back by Providence then?

Survived OOC schedule shorthanded.....big time!

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Obviously it wasn’t a true must win, but it definitely was in terms of momentum going into conference play. Luckily the team and the coaching staff responded. Solid W!

 

[Yankees32123]

Are we still ranked Monday? I say yes. One possession loss at WVU without 2 of our 3 best players. We’d be top 10 if we won both, so I can’t imagine the L knocks us out.

Definitely...probably about the same. Other teams near us in ranking lost a game also.

With two of our best players out, and Providence, @ Marquette, and @ Xavier coming up, today was a must win, and UConn won it.
