Does UConn Make the Tournament

[87Xfer]

tonight was probably as good a game as we can realistically play right now without Bouk. good enough to handle 'nova? i'm doubtful, but maybe. chances we play 2 games in a row like this? i'm doubtful again. but i'd love to be wrong.

Guess it wasn't that hard to find a win.

Um you are a special kind of stupid, aren’t you?

 

[alphasigko]

Not without Bouk

Great response lady bug. Sorry your outrageously stupid and unsupported comments did not just disappear into the ether. But hey, at least you handled it like an adult, so be proud of yourself for that.

Right. You get a participation trophy, junior.

if bouk comes back when he's supposed to we will make the tourney, simple as that.

I hate this place.

This cracked me up while on the royal throne.

Seton Hall in a loss. 7-3.

There you go. We're coming.

We haven't played Nova, S Hall, Xavier or Providence....those will be 8 tough games with or without Bouk. We've won the BE games (besides SJ) that had to win.

Not being a downer but other than GTown all the rest of our BE games will be much tougher than DePaul and Butler which are 4 of our 5 BE wins.

The BE season shifts into overdrive starting Thurs, rest up fellas.

^^ Bingo ^^

Just wanted to check in here as we are currently getting our ish pushed in by a marginal seton hall team.

They are en fuego. And we’re without our best player. I mean they aren’t even touching the rim on these shots

 

[Jaybo]

Honestly don’t think so

If this game finishes the way it's going, we're squarely on the bubble with Seton Hall now ahead of us in the pecking order.

Everyone brushed aside the Creighton loss. It's the difference between safely in vs. hanging on by a thread right now, and might be the difference between in and out.

Always so dramatic.

Always so dramatic.

If we lose this game, our NET is around 50, we're probably on the 11 line, and Seton Hall leapfrogs us. Those are facts.

If we had beaten Creighton the first time, we wouldn't be in that situation.

It’s almost like you aren’t a UConn fan. Have some positivity for a change - the season doesn’t end after today’s game.

he's not wrong though. if Bouk isn't back soon, we're screwed.

Luckily Bouknight will be back for our next game

 

[JMick]

Luckily Bouknight will be back for our next game

is that confirmed? god I hope so

 

[navery12]

is that confirmed? god I hope so

I guess things could change between now and then but Hurley said he'll be a game time decision for Wednesday so I assume we'll see him

 

[BigFanCT]

Remember kids, Hurley gave them 4 points with a T. Why is it that every game Hurley coaches it seems like we are down between 8-20 points between the 12-2 minute mark before halftime?

 

[Vuce]

The answer to the tournament question is definitely “it depends on if Bouk comes back soon enough.” And if both Bouk and Akok come back with enough games left we are in. Seton Hall is a good example of a game we win with two of our best players back on the court. Polley, as limited as he is, becomes a dangerous offensive player if Bouk is out there at his full powers

How the ____ do you figure the T was 4 points? They had the ball anyway. The guy hit a prayer 19-footer at the end of the shot clock.

 

[ucawn]

People think this is a marginal seton hall tema because they look at records??? I’m rolling. We just hung with a top 4 team after being down 18 WITHOUT our lottery pick. We’re good chillax you losers. The youth played very well, and seton hall has a season best shooting effort.

Also we get Bouk back next game so we’re a top 3 team in the conference with him.

Need to win games like this if you’re an NCAA team
