I truly believe we can win it all

[WeAreUCONN]

Nah.

You’ve got to be joking about an intimidation
Factor

If anything, the moment is more likely to intimidate the opponent than UConn, if UConn can get far enough for that to matter.

Take the best versions of our guys this year and put them together.

Solo shooting lights out. Tarris double-double machine. Hass steady with the ball and continuing his magic with Samson. McNeeley late shot clock heroics. JStew and Mahaney providing spark off the bench. And AK doing a bit of everything and hitting crunch time threes

I don't particularly care if it's not realistic. I'm not some ESPN talking head, I'm a UConn fan. I believe

You’re not wrong, if everyone plays at their best. If we’re hitting on our 3s, especially AK then we can do well.

Defense and turnovers. We’ll see if what Hurley has been preaching all year finally gets through.

Those teams had the best player on the court every game, regardless of the opponent.

This team is lucky to have the 3rd best.

Condolences, yet again. Maybe next year, maybe sometime in your lifetime

Of course nobody thought we had a chance in the Dance in 2023, Hurley can't even win a tournament game, 2014 or 2011. Nobody thought we had the best player on the court on March 13th in any of those years. I think it's funny to suggest we had the best player on any court in 2014. What we had in all those years was the best team.

As for a great player, a highly ranked recruit, a projected lottery pick, I present Liam McNeeley. More potential than you can even dream about. But it's the team and the coaching that makes us good. We have the opportunity and the potential, I'm good with that. Someday you may get to experience what that feels like. I hope you do, everyone should feel it sometime in their life.

I feel we have much more than others think we have.
Defense and rebounding trending up
I believe our center position is top 5 of 68
We have 3 legit scorers
2 bench players I feel will have a more polished game than the reg season in Mahaney and Stewart
And a healthier Diarra

No arguments there.

All I'm saying here is don't let us get hot.

One more factor is officiating. If we get more freedom of movement because we arent allowed to be grabbed constantly, that could be a big difference.
