I don't want to wait and decide after Memphis game.
I say yes, this is the team I thought would emerge in late January.
Here are some of the differences:
Jalen is taking more of a leadership role and has newfound confidence
DHam is super confident now and super dangerous
Miller although foul prone is playing well with the other players and is dependable (offensively)
We have a guy not scared to take the big shot (duh!)
Brimah is making noticeable contributions including rebounding. The biggee: Brimah is managing his fouls
Purvis and Gibbs are giving us what we need from the outside, and purvis more on the inside (driving)
Our bench of Nolan, Facey and Omar is tested and if managed can spell starters enough not to hurt us.
Sure the sample is small (March) but the timing is all that matters and this team is on time. Also I'm not saying FF expectations I saying 'UConn product' expectations.
I 'finally' see a team or more specifically a UConn Team.
So I'm raising them to do damage in the Tourney, to never quit and shock the world. This team is ready!
Opponents won't want us in their brackets. Why? Because WE ARE UCONN DAMMIT!
