If we are 100% healthy, I think so, but with James out for over a month, Andre out for a month, and Akok a non factor this year, looks like another missed tournament.
 
Bouknight is out for another month.

We're 7-3 now. We have 7 more games until he comes back, most likely, including Villanova. Seton Hall, and Xavier. Pretty good chance we go 3-4 or 2-5 over that stretch. That leaves us at 10-7 or 9-8 when Bouknight comes back.

5 more games, maybe 3-2 over that stretch, so optimistically, 13-9 going into the BET.

Is 14-10, with our best win being USC, possibly one of the Seton Hall or Villanova games, enough?

I don't see it, unless the Committee is generous in accounting for Bouknight being out.

Yes that record gets us in without any worries on Selection Sunday
 
Losses in the Big East won’t hurt our resume as much as losses in the AAC did, so I say yes, we still make the tournament.
 
It'll just be a timing thing. If we get enough games with Bouknight back, then yes. And if we get in, we're going to the Sweet 16 at least

Not the right question to ask right now. We obviously are a tournament team - why ask the question?? Healthy we are top 15 and everyone knows that

Because we're fans of the team and care about whether we go to the Tournament?

1) We are definitely not "obviously a tournament team"
2) "Healthy we are top 15" doesn't mean ____ because that's completely subjective and the Committee has total discretion about whether to take Bouknight's absence into account.
 
I think we’ll go 2-1 to close out Jan so we’d be 6-4 in BE and 9-4 overall. Maybe we can pick up a win over PC, and Xavier or Seton Hall without Bouk, get Bouk back and run through these fools picking up a quality win over Nova.

I guess I just don’t see how the answer is so easy, when we’ve lost to St. John’s, scored 66 points with a lot of those coming in garbage time, looking like we may struggle with Butler on Tuesday and our best player may not be coming back until 3rd week of Feb. To me that seems like a lot more things can go wrong then right.

I don’t want to see this thread after another loss is what I’m saying. Let me/us recover from another loss. I don’t need to talk about missing the tournament 1 minute after our team gave it their all while extremely outmatched.

It is a race against time right now. The more games we play without Bouknight vs the top teams in the conference the worse it’s going to be. We have Villanova on Thursday at home and chances are Bouk will not play. It’s frustrating because we are not facing these teams at full strength.

If any of these 3: Jackson, Akok, Bouknight ever play another minute of UConn basketball I’ll pour a whole bottle of Frank’s into my eyes.

Same person who said football would not played once we hit November, same person who said there was not going to be a basketball season, same person who said there would not be an NCAA tournament. You seem fun.

3 margaritas deep, pissed about the loss and health of the team. Maybe I just need to stay away from the Boneyard bait until I’m level headed.

Like I said 1 million times this past week the St. John’s loss was the killer - you can’t lose games like that -you just can’t -that loss changed everything. Creighton loss was pretty much going to happen regardless , but it wouldn’t be so bad if we beat St. John’s and you know we’re gonna get waxed by nova -it’s not even worth worrying about it or banging your head up against the wall - until bouk comes back, this is how it’s gonna be. Get JB back on the floor and I’ll be super psyched again -until then , we just got a ride out the storm. Like the poster above me said we just have to minimize the damage till Bouk comes back to put us in a spot to be on the bubble come late February -I swear we have the worst luck -every week the news just gets worse and worse. We re so due for a good stretch of luck it’s not even funny. Hang in there peeps.

Find me a bracket we are not in.
 
Yes, this team has a couple of big wins in them without bouk. They’re resilient

Healthy from the start of the season and we are a high seed with a chance at a serious run, our current predicament bubble team and feels like a likely miss if Bouk doesn't come back.
