FIVE SEED

[g_smith]

Tulane on Thursday and with a W, we get Witchita State. I like our chances! How are we feeling??

 

[navery12]

Terrible because I can't watch now

 

[XLCenterFan]

Is it possible that we are the favorite to win the AAC tourney? No one is hotter. I don't care what Wichita State did today.

 

[ThabeetDown]

Had Wichita on one of my smaller TV's during our game. Really impressive showing for them today. Other than Houston, they scare me the most.

 

[GHSWolverines]

Real good. With a Tulane win we should see postseason play NIT. Run the table we go to the dance.

After watching this game, let's just get past Tulane. Again.

 

[Austin316]

Gimme at least 20 wins, an NIT bid and this season is a success. Cannot let Tulane keep us from being UConn. Anything can happen in this tournament. Cannot overlook anyone.

We’ve gone on to beat the top of the AAC in our current streak. Every team we lost to originally, we’ve won the rematch. This year we didn’t play in Kansas, so this would be our rematch with Witchita. There’s mojo potential there.

Love your spirit, but if we play like today, we don't win 2 games.

We just didn’t play well. We’ll dust them next time. I’d put money on it

 

[Danbury Dan]

Greg Marshall is a great tournament coach, that game really scares me. Playing Tulane again won't be easy, would have preferred the 6 seed honestly.

 

[KingAG]

Love your spirit, but if we play like today, we don't win 2 games.

Can’t have your A game every game. They’ll be fine

WWBS? what would Boatright say? Something about a taste?

Not an enjoyable game to watch today, but it had that “let’s get it over with feel.”

I expect Hurley to light a fire under our guys before Thursday and we come out re-energized.

 

[Marat]

Terrible because I can't watch now

I plan to watch on ESPN app phone on Thursday and work from home friday.

 

[ucawn]

Today means nothing about how we’ll do in the tournament. Bad shooting night and sloppy d. Didnt want to give Tulane much to scout. We’re also a terrible road team. We’re also a good tournament team... Charleston. I’d expect a big win Thursday

This is exactly what it was

Plus there was that odd situation where it was senior night for the Tulane player. Hurley’s an emotional guy and if you watched URI senior night before we picked him up, they lost their Senior night. He chalked it up to him being too emotional. With that behind us, I like our chances.

“A baaaad taste in they mouths!”

I love Boatright. One of the toughest and most tenacious defensive guards in UConn history.

Alterique was playing that role this season but more so these past few games he has turned it up a notch. His defense against Houston was nothing short of incredible.

If our defense shows up, Whaley doesn't finish like Carlton, and if Hurley can take a timeout before our lead evaporates

 

[JustbrewitMan]

We played like the game after our most important game of the year. It also was less than 72h after said game and included a fairly long plane trip.

We looked tired, a step slow, and a little emotionally drained. All game.

Kudos to them for holding it together enough to grind out an important win!

I expect a completely different team next Thursday!

Whaley has emerged as this year’s surprise spark in a way that was almost too good to be true. Up until today he was shooting a high high percent from the paint. Today was a hiccup. He’ll be back on Thursday.

 

[kobe]

i don’t like this outcome friends.

 

[g_smith]

i don’t like this outcome friends.

we do have a history of very unhappy endings in March for the boys from Ohio

 

[Waquoit]

We look like a team on the come. This had real trap game potential and the team passed the test.

He played great after missing all those first half layups.

I plan to watch on ESPN app phone on Thursday and work from home friday.

Pretty much my plan as well I think. Since I don't have ESPNU/DVR it severely limits my options to turn off the phone and watch a few hours later

 

[g_smith]

My only fear lies in the fact that with the top of the conference as it stands - only Houston is truly guaranteed an at large. The rest of us are in the fight for the conference tournament title.

 

[g_smith]

He played great after missing all those first half layups.

He seems to have a short memory of his mistakes. You gotta love that in a player.

Terrible because I can't watch now

I am coming up with a BS excuse to work from home on Thursday. I will get a lot of work done, well before 3:00 that is.
