Have to agree. I will continue to attend or watch every game they play. Last year was so much fun. After the Big East tourney run it was already my favorite season. Have to treat every game now like its a knock out game which it may very well be. Just as they can not give up I certainly WILL NOT give up. GO HUSKIES!!!!!

Sometimes things can click for a player overnight. If Shabazz begins to figure out the balance between attacking to score and attacking to dish, this team could improve. If the younger kids on the roster begin to grasp the rotations, and learn to communicate on defense, suddenly there will be a lot less three point shots available, and the defense will be as tough as we envisioned earlier in the season. If Lamb utilizes that beautiful mid-range game like he did early in the game on Saturday, he will be one of the best players in the country. If Drummond gets pissed off, ditto.

I could go on, but the point is, there is always hope. We need a few of these "Ifs" to come to fruitioin. If that happens this team will be a lot more competitive.

I get the feeling that a lot of Uconn fans think this team can turn this season around just like last year. Go 9-9 in the BE, make a run in the BE tournament and another run in the NCAA's. I know I have that feeling but I starting to feel it is just wishful thinking and I maybe looking at this team through rose colored glasses. This team just can't put together two VG halves.

Is this team so flawed with very poor chemistry that we are a 16-10 team with very little upside?
No, last years team had a clearcut leader who pushed the team on the court and took the big shots. Confidence is contagious.This team will be watching the final 4 at home.
This doesn't mean they can't win some games, make the tourney and maybe make the sweet 16 because they could.We have enough talent to beat anybody.I'm just not sure they have the heart to do it.

Keep in mind my wise and insightful friend that UConn has tournament experience. Valuable tourney experience. If I am buying a stock (team) I would put a premium on that. That means something if they can just get there.
