Message: [QUOTE="djct1999, post: 2418291, member: 2281"] Mental toughness against a team slated to finished fourth in the American East? Sweet. Sadly, this is UConn's new reality. The glory days of Calhoun appear in the rearview mirror farther and farther away after each passing game. Ten years ago, we would play on the big stage. The last two, we struggle against the likes of Stony Brook, Wagner, and BU at home. What makes things worse is that UConn has a better chance at success keeping things status quo than cleaning house. Unreal. UConn is simply becoming what most pundits warned what would happen once Calhoun retired. We are fighting our way back to being a regional program that will have an occasional stronger than normal season. That is not this year. How far has UConn fallen? Three and a half years ago, a young Coach Ollie was talking about "level 5" against Kentucky in the National Championship. Last night, he was talking about 'level 5" after being down 9 at home to a team who probably has an rpi of over 200. I wish I could laugh but it simply is not funny. It is sad. [/QUOTE]
