UConn looks better than we have all year and this is what you come up with? I think you meant to post this after the Houston game.

I agree it's nowhere near the right time for that post, but there are elements of truth to it.

Our NCAAT seeds in chronological order, starting in 1990:
1, 11, 9, N, 2, 2, 1, N, 2, 1, 5, N, 2, 5, 2, 2, 1, N, 4, 1, N, 3, 9, N, 7, N, (probably 9 to 11 this year)

From 1990 to 2009, we were a #1 or #2 seed 11 times and a #5 seed or better 14 times in 20 years. In the 7 years since, zero #1 or #2 seeds, one #5 seed or better.

Wow...how far we have fallen. From the days of beating Georgetown, Pitt, Nova, Syracuse, Louisville in gut wrenching games to secure a #1 or #2 seed in the tournament to laying hopes on beating Memphis to secure a NCAA bid. This is not the UCONN I grew up rooting for,, since 1990.
No this is the UConn that was unable to recruit over a three or four year period where first the NCAA and then the forces of evil lead by ESPN and their minions tried to kill us.
In between we won a NC with the residual of our last decent class.
Payback is amazing sometime.

I would suggest you go to the women's board to satisfy you front running need but I suspect your not actually a fan.
So thank you for your interest in UConn basketball.

I bet it was hard to be a fan then.

Tulsa and Temple are cooked.

The last thing in the world Cincinnati wants is UConn losing to Memphis on Sunday.

I understand how the selection process works - but if you like the Bearcats - you don't want to be the second bubble team in the American.
Dear UCONN, It seems as though you guys are in the middle of another one of those zones you seem to get into whenever March rolls around. For the Love of God, BEAT MEMPHIS........Regards, Cincinnati Fan

Lol been around a lot longer than that... and those if us remember it wasn't always so much fun. But good for you getting on board at the right time and missing 1980-1985.

I was too young back then...lol...
