With a strong sense of conference loyalty, I'll root for any other Big East team in every matchup unless UConn is the opponent, but the pretty clear vibe coming out of the BET is that Providence avoided 3 additional losses by not rescheduling Creighton, Seton Hall, and UConn w/Sanogo.

Your team's challenge is to dispel that recent impression. Good luck. Really.

You obviously don’t understand how rescheduling works in the BE - I understand the uneducated fans of the BE Conference teams who want to see PC fail because we are #1, who just want to bang there heads against the wall swearing that PC avoided those three games by not rescheduling them need to learn ( as long as it takes your mini mental brain to figure it out) that the Big East Conference RESCHEDULES ALL THE GAMES AND CONTROLS WHICH TEAMS CAN AND CANNOT MAKE THEM UP! So with that knowledge how can you sit there and say Providence avoided three additional losses by not rescheduling them?? Are you just plain stupid? By the way we are 25-5, beat Uconn and would of either gone 3-0 or 2-1 in those three games! Uconn would have lost by double digits at Providence, so whose the lucky team? You avoided another loss!

Ok sure, since you fans believe it, it will come true good god the players are the ones that need to produce and make it come true, they need to believe it and let me tell you, you’re not a thought in their mind that powers their belief, you think you are but no you’re not connected with the players that way… first off they believe they are good enough to make a living at the pro level and this is the platform that will get them there, second talent is important, do you realize this fact, you know, talent, and although Uconn has some real good players in Cole, Sanogo and Martin, the remaining team is just not talented enough to get by Arkansas! So to sum it up, your belief is great to make you feel good and rah, rah, rah on this board, but is not realistic!

A pay site I use for betting, algorithms and advanced metrics has UConn’s chances as follows:

Advance to round of 32: 79%
Advance to sweet sixteen: 43.1%
Advance to elite eight : 9.2%
Advance to final four : 3.6%
Advance to finals: 1.3%
National Champs: 0.5%

Most likely to win tournament

Gonzaga 30.2%
Auburn 11.2%
Arizona 10.8%
Kentucky 8.3%
Kansas 8%

I'm surprised that we're favored that much in a hypothetical 2nd round game (advancing 43/79 ~ 54% of the time), or that we're that severe an underdog (~20% to win) in the Sweet 16 against Gonzaga.

Here’s what I know. Sitting in 116 at MSG Friday night I snapped this shot:

Every team you got second time around would've done this to you. Including UConn. Creighton treated you like a bitch.

Come on Silly Willy!!! Number 1? You won a big east regular season title without playing a full schedule and then got beat by 30 in the BET. The regular season is meaningless once these games kickoff Thursday!!!

And I was naive enough to think they'd stop after the total humiliation. I suppose this means we can look forward to more even after SDSU runs them out of the building.

Your writing is demonstrably erroneous in vocabulary, word choice, punctuation, and spelling. Your argument fails for being built upon poor reading comprehension. And your inability or unwillingness to accept well-wishing is just boorish behavior unbefitting a guest.

If you want details, poke me for round two, but mere reference to your self-exposure should remain sufficient.

You'd have served your favorite team, your fellow visiting fans, and our shared conference if you'd simply exercised the clearly presented option to simply say, "Thank you."

Only because you asked, I'm neither plain nor stupid.
 
Feels like a Sweet 16 year - I could say that falling short would be a disappointment and moving beyond would be a bonus...but honestly, it's just nice to be back in the conversation again, where we should be.

Sorry, I voted for no wins at all because one win to get to 32 wasn't an option.
 
if you're watching the 1st half then you would have to say we're not going past this game

Second year in a row Hurley did not have this team ready to play. They will be lucky just to make it close.
 
i thought with a 5-12 upset already happening (Iowa/Richmond) that UConn would at least win one game. guess i was wrong.
