Watching how important Keita was to the comeback, we were very fortunate he wasn’t available most of the game.

They were very fortunate Mullins wasn’t available.

Evens out.
 
BYU is such a weird team. Second time they have rallied from 22 down in the last 3 weeks.

Michigan is VERY good. Let’s cool on the 2024 UConn comp until the dominate for a full season the way 2024 UConn did. Respect them legends.

I can respect how they are embarrassing teams now and pass every inch of the eyeball test, while also respecting the 2024 team. What they are doing to teams this early that 2024 didn't even do. They are dominant - massive athletes all over, and they have depth.

Agree 100%, wake took them to OT and loss by 1 and TCU could have beaten them as well.

One thing they do very well, when they are beating you down , Dusty doesn’t put the breaks on and play different. He keeps them going all gas and no brakes.

2024 did things they haven’t done.

You don’t disagree.

Let it play out before we compare them to our champions. Who dominated in the actual tournament. And dominated a team with the most dominant player of this generation. This Michigan team may not end up being better than 2025-26 UConn. Let’s slow our roll.

I don’t think it’s fair to Michigan. They’re a great team in their own right.

Sec drops to 13-32 in Q1 games, almost a 180 from last years sec.

Alabama and Vanderbilt only teams over .500, Kentucky 0-4

Alabama has tough game against Arizona on Saturday. Should be a good one.

BC coming back now after being down 14 almost midway through the second half. You can hear individual people cheering and clapping. Let's just say no one is going to confuse the atmosphere at this game with the scene last night at MSG.

This makes me laugh. It's like as Uconn fan you refuse to recognize how good a team is by looking at the games earlier in the year, rather than the game after they've gelled and gone on a ridiculous run. Have you actually watched their recent games?

Dusty puts the breaks on alright - they were up over Nova by 30 at the half and won by 28. They go up big quick and just overwhelm teams with their size and athletecism.

That's pretty weird, because the game is on ESPNU. Looks like it's coming down to the wire. BC went on a huge run over about four minutes to go up 7 after being down 14, but they've let that lead slip away.

UMass up 2 with 1:15 left, and then BC ties the score. They force a UMass turnover, but miss two free throws with 21 seconds left, and UMass rebounds the second miss. BC fouls the shooter at the top of the key with five seconds left, and he hits both FTs. Down two, BC gets the ball to midcourt and uses its final timeout with 2.8 seconds left. Forte tries a three at the buzzer, but it's no good, and UMass wins 76-74.

And the hits just keep on coming.

Good for UMass!!

Not sure Nowell's status as far as injury, but I was following VCU's upset loss to NM and it doesn't appear he played. Injury or not, his career isn't going great so far.

You’re just ignorant and think you know it all. I recognize how good a team is, you’re the dumb a.. who thinks whatever you say is gospel.
Yes, I have watched them and never said they were not good but I am certainly not ready to name them the team of the decade because your pompous a.. says so.

No one said team of the decade just a team to beat this year. Every metric supports it, watching them play supports it. Here the focus is on a very early Wake Forest game, not the fact that they beat Gonzaga (and others) by 40.
 
Wisconsin, who has wins against Providence and Marquette, and plays Villanova next week, got absolutely blasted by 30 at Nebraska

Cornhuskers are 10-0 and going to Illinois this weekend

It was never the focus! It was a simple statement to pump the breaks as they have shown they are not invincible! I never once said they were not a very good team.

The main issue here is YOU as usual. You continue to personally attack people and or talk down to those if they do not agree with you. If you actually knew 20% of what you think you do, you would be running a high major program. I swear you just love to cause drama.

Where did I personally attack anyone? Disagreeing with someone isn't attacking them. How good UM is was minimized because Wake took them to OT in the second game of the year. Since then, they've steamrolled teams, including a Zags team that is top 10. And if you watch them, they are huge and really talented all over the floor. It's ok that there is another great team out there that isn't Uconn. No reason to get all worked up over it.

No, it's not. Not sure what's going on there, but it seems Dan Hurley moving off him was the staff recognizing it was a miss. I feel bad for the kid.

Abraham is also being used quite weird where he plays like 12 minutes in the first half and then that is it.

Im not worked up at all and never said they werent a very good team. I also referred to 2 games and in both games Michigan's 3 point shooting was very much an issue. I never said they were not capable of winning a NC just simply stated they are not invincible.

Def not invincible, but they're good in ways our 2024 team was. They are big and they are athletic. They have at least two first round picks in their starting lineup. They have a first team AA. Scary is that they're probably going to get better as this is mainly transfers, and they have a top flight frosh on the bench. May is a top 10 coach. I wouldn't see what they are now as a finished product. They're a goliath now based on talent, and could get even better as the year develops. Right now they are physically overwhelming teams.
