Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 4543979, member: 2839"] From being [I]the[/I] favorite team for a 32-year fan to second guessing Hurley's competencies as a coach. My, how UConn has fallen in the span of less than a couple months. Wait...what? They're ranked? Hmm. From the responses, I could have sworn they'd be below .500 and mired in a multi-game losing streak. Both UConn and Purdue were unranked to begin the season. How did they get to #2 and #1, respectively? Everyone else lost prior to their conference schedule. UConn is currently ranked 18 and while it is certainly not #2, I recall the discussion at the beginning of the season where UConn should probably end up being ranked in the teens by season's end. The #2 ranking adjusted the expectations of many, but should it have? Unless I am reading it incorrectly, only Creighton and Nova were solidly in the Top 25 in November. Holloway has Seton Hall playing well, and the entire conference is up for the most part. There are 5 top 25 Big East programs currently, and none from greater Philly. By virtue of being college kids, not a game goes by where there isn't something that can be improved upon, but be that as it may, I didn't think Saturday's game was in doubt after about the 10 minute mark.
