I'd really like to see more conviction along the lines of a guarantee that the team will cut down the nets to celebrate the AAC tourney championship and automatic bid.

Hope and try will get you nowhere. Either do it or don't.

Let's go Huskies!

I can't argue with him. He knows the team better than we do.

I too am hoping and not much more.

I love the guy, but what else can he say? Based on actual performance, I would say that on Sunday they will either be in the stands or somewhere on campus watching another team cut the net down. This isn't a case of a team peaking at the right time.

He is going to return to the XL Center to help Cincinnati cut down the nets? Kevin Ollie is a class act.

Hopefully they can cut down the "nets" on Sunday but don't know if this team can be consistent enough to play with enough offensive proficiency and defensive intensity to accomplish a tourney championship. They definitely have their "backs against the wall" and it is "put up or shut up time" as they say. Hopefully they will "leave it all out on the court" and give their best effort. Would be a good idea to "guard the three line" and make their foul shots. Hopefully they will "drive toward the basket" and not settle for last second of possession desperation long jump shots. We shall see. UConn has beaten SMU and Tulsa so hopefully they will have the confidence and poise needed to give their best effort. I hope if they don't make the NCAA tourney that they will also give their best effort in the NIT if they end up there and represent UCONN as best they can. Remember the NIT is on TV AND a chance to play in MSG if they get to the NIT final 4. Let's hope they can win the tourney but no matter what lets hope they give maximum effort and then see what happens.

He should have gone with, "Pain." He'd have been right either way.

In respect to Ollie's first game he ever coached, I'm ready to go!!!

Coach you haven't won four in a row all year, your second best player's grandmother died 3,000 miles away - can you please use the word guarantee in your response - because that would seemingly change the results of the games.

Detecting a hint of sarcasm there...

When UConn wins the next 4 games, they are no higher than a 12 seed...then knock off the 5 in typical fashion...

 

[UCweCONN]

We will win it all!!!!........maybe.

Did you know he also helps put away the folding chairs at the end of every convalescent home bingo match in Connecticut?

Will you be at the tournament Kobe? Is Cincy sending a large contingent, do you know?

It is remarkable. Not wanting to see all of our big 4 showing up for the same games, or fewer turnovers, or more consistent D. But wanting to see more conviction in a friggin tweet.

I obviously don't get it.
