Lol...we're not on par with Depaul without Bouk? Who exactly are we beating the rest of the way if Bouk doesn't play? Maybe G'Town if we're lucky.

We were ranked with Bouk, so yes you are an idiot for saying they are boardline team with him.

We beat Depaul without him, we also beat Butler 2x. So again, you are an idiot.

It won’t hurt recruiting. The guys coming in next year can call create their own shot. Still optimistic about that

I would say one of the three guys coming in next year can reliably create their own shot, not that it matters in the slightest in the context of this season.

"Boardline"? I agree we aren't a boardline team with Bouk.

But yes even with Bouk we are a borderline Tourney team, we hadn't beaten any good BE teams when we had Bouk and were ranked and with him maybe we win some (like USC) but we are not as good we thought either way.

They weren't a borderline tournament team with Bouknight. Christ almighty the basketball threads are the worst part of this board these days. Somebody start a new food thread.

Based on what? We beat USC with Bouk and that's it, but we didn't beat any other team with Bouk that helps you get a bid.

In theory we are Tourney Team with Bouk but to say with Bouk we're beating Nova, Xavier, S Hall, Creighton is certain is BS.

I have no idea if we beat the top 4 in BE with Bouk and neither do you. It's pretty obvious his supporting cast is either not very good or not ready so it's all speculation if Bouk alone takes a bad team to the Tourney.

So yes I think we are a borderline Tourney Team with Bouk until I see different.

They have a top 10 recruited team for next year.
This year is a mess for most programs - I think the 2021 team will be the foundation of UConn hoops going forward. Tough to blame Hurley for covid stops in practice and play

Ok, confirmed, idiot.

My initial vote was no and of course it hasn't changed. Even if Bouk returns this team has no identity besides him. We have no idea whom is going to step up from game to game on offense and the defense has gotten progressively worst during the season.
 
.-.
A player of Bouk’s talent elevates others’ games. Team is automatically in just about every game with him back and probably in but do we get him in time?
 
I’m in the yes party unless Bouk is out more than 1 more game. If he’s not back for PC round 2 outlook is bleak.

You said a team who was ranked with 1 loss (to a top 20 team) was a borderline NCAA tournament. There is zero evidence to support your conclusion. You can have an opinion, but that does not mean it is right.
 
I still believe the games without Bouk will not matter if he returns in the next game or two. The team is a tournament team with him. Not a tournament team without him.

I agree. I've just lost all faith that he will be back in time

Agreed. Tough to have confidence when the story is littered with mixed messages and what some call misinformation.

I gotta believe the fact that he's practicing is a good sign. I mean, if he's shutting it down, why practice? Likewise, If he's not close to game play, why practice?

Odd story. A bit of a turn off for me to be honest. I don't enjoy watching the Huskies get rolled. I dislike being teased about a potential Bouk return even more. Eventually I tune out the whole thing. My cynical side comes out and and I'm suddenly not interested in being jerked around by children (that includes coaches) who play basketball for a living.

Rankings from Dec to mid-Jan are not always great barometers, they are mostly a projection.....Duke, Kansas & Mich St were ranked in January as well until they started playing games against good teams. I simply have no idea even with Bouk if this team was a Tourney lock so borderline is appropriate without more than 1 win against a good team on the resume.

We can make the Tourney but it's a tall order with our best opportunity games on the road (Nova/Xavier/Hall) even if Bouk returns. See below....we are 0-5 against BE teams in the NET top 100 so far.
