Message: [QUOTE="DogMania, post: 4825945, member: 21"] Although the OOC part of the seaon is wrapping up, there's still a lot of hoops to be played. Our Huskies did us proud. If we were a tad more healthy, we would have left Allen Fieldhouse with a W. We won't see many games where Spensor doesn't knock down a bunch of 3s. He was playing on a couple of bad wheels. Plus they were without Castle. I really don't care about the rankings all that much, though like just about everyone here, I always check on Monday to see where we landed. What i do care more about is: The eye test! How the team runs their offense, shoots the ball, finishes and defends. How they execute when under duress (lose a late lead or are behind late) and during winning time. So far they've checked this box! I think this year's team runs the best half court offense in college hoops I've seen in many years, which will bode well come March. Staying healthy when March comes around. Just about all the top teams will drop some tough conference games, especially on the road. Just as Marquette took it on the chin against the Friars. UConn has proven more than once that they can be the last team standing regardless to where they are seeded. With that said, I think we'll end up in the top 10 (hopefully stay there all season long) and land anywhere from a top 1 to 3 seed and hopefully see back to back NCAA Championship banners hanging side by side next fall.
