Can we start 7-0 in the conference

[SwingDog]

Hurley and his Huskies have certainly had this game circled on their calendar and have had ample time to prepare for it. (I'm not just referring to the couple of days since the DePaul game.) UConn has the right mix of players, and they're due to win one at the Prudential Center.

Overall, they've done much better at not fouling excessively, and hopefully that continues here. It's going to take tough defense, rebounding and rim protection. Offensively, if Tarris can be a factor on offense early and if Reibe can get involved too, it will help open things up for perimeter shooters. I'm also looking for Silas, Solo, Alex, Braylon and others to get production with midrange shots, which I think will be available.

I think we all expect this one to be a grind as usual.

Screw this conference and the officiating. Go win out.

Took care of business. Let's roll into Creighton 9-0. They might throw .50 cent Beer Night.

We've scratched off two of our tougher road games in PC & SHU. Nova, StJ & Creighton left.

Win 2 of those remaining 3 and you have a path to a 1 seed

1/17 Next up @Georgetown and almost guaranteed win.

1/24 Then after a week off we host Villanova where with homecourt and they host Georgetown 1/21. I love our chances

1/27 we host Providence - at home this time likely win without OT.

1/31 @Creighton we can roll there at 20-1 / 10-0 and they are a shell of their former self.

Only chance we can is if one of our next 3 games is cancelled.

If you only read our comments you would never know we are 17-1.

Seven teams thought they could win. They could not.
