Hot Take: We will repeat with back to back titles this season.

[UconnFanDC]

You see, I claimed early last season that we were winning a title. People told to shaddap.

Yep, we won the Empire Classic

 

[HuskyHawk]

Well, like Providence, we've got as good a chance as anybody.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Doomed, maybe even a hanging

He's been hanged too many times already.

Can we pour gasoline on him and set him on fire?

 

[CL82]

Sorry. I thought we are the reigning champs?

You're not sure? I guess it's tough for you to keep up with this stuff in retirement.

I don't know if we'll repeat, but I believe we'll look back on this era and marvel at how good we had it. These are the good old days

53% from the stripe isn’t cutting down another set of nets. Gotta address that as a team, stat.

Good thing we're shooting 73% then

 

[Deepster]

The back to back stuff is dumb right now. Got a ways to go before even caring about something that’s very rarely done.

Focus on BE, been awhile since UConn won a conference or conference tourney.

Why is it dumb? As a fan? Why do I have to focus on the BE? What difference does it make that I have my eyes on a bigger prize and I’m confident we can take it?

Was talking last nights line. I was off a bit, we shot 56%.

Which national championship contender are you now more all-in on?​

Borzello: UConn. I thought the Huskies were the Big East favorite entering the season and a legitimate Final Four contender, but they might be better than expected. Tristen Newton is playing like an All-American, Alex Karaban has developed into a legitimate NBA prospect, Donovan Clingan is a potential lottery pick, Cam Spencer brings shooting and experience -- and they've played only three games with top-10 prospect and projected top-10 pick Stephon Castle. When this team is fully healthy, I could see the reigning national champions making another deep run.

State of the men's college basketball season, one month in

Is Zach Edey still the best player? Do we still believe in Duke? What questions remain? We react to the first four(ish) weeks of the 2023-24 season.

Of course, Providence didn't seem to have much of a chance last night. Just saying.

In my opinion just an unnecessary pressure on the season right now. Selection Sunday is far down the road. Other milestones to hit well before that to focus on and enjoy.

Dumb wasn’t right word, my apologies.

Nobody seemed to get the joke.

Unnecessary pressure on who?

 

[Nickiiiv]

Yes

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Unnecessary pressure on who?

On those who are going to have to hunt you down and slap some sense into you.

I’m just getting started, boyo.

All joking aside, Some might have thought back when JC was coaching that those were the good ol' days. Would we ever see that kind of success again. Then Ollie somehow managed to coach a NC with JC's guys, and that seemed to be the end of the era.

In comes Hurley. And in his 5th year, coaches the team to it's 5th NC. This right after a pair of 1st round exits that at the time had some fans questioning if he was the right guy (you know who you are!).

We all know how hard it is to win a NC. I'd much rather be UCONN with our HC rather than Duke, Kentucky, or UNC. I don't know if we will win another NC in the near future, but I know we will be there at the end competing for them. As long as we have Dan Hurley, IMHO, NOW are the "good ol' days"!

Glad to help.

What @FfldCntyFan said! First week of December, take a deep breath man.

Why? Who and how am I impacting anything real? And how are you helping anything by being scared to say how good we are?

 

[Waquoit]

I like it. It spits in the face of "doomed" and all that poor me merde.

Blue bloods would never say "doomed". FACT.
