Dicky V @ last night's Dook game said

[willie99]

nobody can beat Cuse in the regular season

and then mentioned they might lose in the tourny to UNC or UK

LMFAO

do you think he knows nobody ever went unbeaten in Big East history?

do you think he knows Cuse has been in this spot before?

does he know Cuse has the worst sweet16 record in the country?

I love these experts anointing teams on January 12th. They can't get their predictions right at the beginning of the tourny, or even before the final four

it's like he's never been there before

 

[willie99]

I will admit, I'm glad we're not playing them until February. If we played them the 1st week of January, it might have been really ugly

 

[champs99and04]

This one raised my eyebrows as well. I get Cuse is better than us right now, but to say you can't see UConn beating them with the talent on this roster is just flat out ignorant, especially considering the February 25th game @ Gampel might be one of the craziest UConn crowds ever with it being a 9:00 start on a Saturday.

 

[orangehomer]

we are obviously going to lose games at some point. this way if they over-hype us they can go berserk later when we inevitably lose.

No one is a bigger prisoner of the moment than Dick Vitale.

 

[Scoe]

its absolutly stupid to make tourney predictions in January to begin with, you should always wait till the brackets come out.

Dick Vitale is just a mouthpiece for what ESPN wants to pimp. They came into the season saying "KENTUCKY!!! NORTH CAROLINA!!!!" So, it's his job to scream "KENTUCKY!!! NORTH CAROLINA!!!!" all season. And of course, "DUKE!!!" as well.

I don't think we can underestimate what the crowd at both these games will be. The Carrier Dome will have around 34,000 easily, and Gampel?

Well, if the WVU game was loud, can you imagine the Syracuse game? Maybe their last visit to CT?

Exactly. What you have is the perfect storm for one of the all-time loudest UConn crowds.

Likely #1 and possibly undefeated rival coming into town at the end of the regular season
College gameday in attendence who will be hyping this game all day
9:00 start time, giving people plenty of time to get alcohol in their system
And oh yeah, it's *king cuse

I'm going to make every effort to get to this one but tickets are already going for like $200.

 

[Rico444]

Games like this are why I got season tickets for Gampel. One ticket runs a little over $200 for all 8 games.

 

[Husky1964]

The Cuse has never WON at the Gampel (small sample) and JB hates to play there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[willie99]

I'm losing my voice just thinking about it

 

[UChusky916]

I can certainly tell you the student section will be rocking at Gampel for the Cuse game. Gameday, Saturday night, late start. Gonna be intense.
