Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 2528495, member: 10"] So I was thinking about this last night. Memphis also had a disastrous off season. They had to fill a lot of spots at the last minute like UConn has. Their roster is not very talented. Certainly not more talented than UConn's, in my opinion. Because of this they were picked to finish 9th in the AAC coaches preaseason poll. UConn was picked to finish 5th (granted nobody knew Gilbert would get hurt again). Memphis is no juggernaut and yet they seem to compete much harder and play more like a basketball team than UConn typically does. They are now 13-6 overall and 4-2 in the conference. In their first AAC game of the season they got crushed at Cincinnati by 34 points. But other than that they seem to compete. So why is it that UConn looked so lost last night against a team that doesn't have more talent? Did they miss Larrier that much or did they just not compete? [/QUOTE]
