If we get past Arkansas…

[Marat]

Btw, isn't Arkansas coach Oats close with Hurley?

 

[Jaker]

Arkansas is Musselman. Oats is Alabama.

Arkansas is Musselman. Oats is Alabama.

Thanks. For some reason I get Arkansas and Alabama confused.

They better take care of NM State first. This UConn team is capable of losing to anyone.

Disagree completely. We don't have a single bad loss on our record. Our problem is getting over the hump and consistently winning against top 25 level competition, not beating "weaker" teams.

 

[BUConn10]

I mean I get he’s getting ahead of himself but you guys let scrappy3, 4, 5 whatever say whatever absurd thing he wants about what the team will do so it’s fair game.

People here get mad if you are too negative or too positive.

West Virginia wasn’t exactly a good loss

West Virginia wasn’t exactly a good loss

A three point loss on the road three months ago with no Martin and no Sanogo? It wasn't terrible, and it still completely misses the point to which he's responding. (He's right, by the way, this idea that this team can "lose to anyone" is pretty dumb. Their ceiling might not be as high as some other UConn teams, but their floor is much higher too.) They can beat a good portion of the teams in this tournament on nights when their offense abandons them because they're going to rebound the ____ out of the ball and defend.

One game at a time.

UConn WILL get past Arkansas. No doubt in my mind.

BTW it's "good" to be back. I first "discovered" your "Boneyard" in '99 .... when this whole Gonzaga thing was "once in a lifetime".

WVU in Morgantown is a tough game for the majority of teams in the country. The thing that killed them this season is that they were god awful on the road.

Go back to that little corner of America, We’ll see you in SF. Tell Timme to be ready

 

[UConnSwag11]

…I think we go to the Final Four. I like our chances against Gonzaga and Duke. I think we match up well with both.

Can we win one game first?

West Va was a horrible loss

That was a hell of a Gonzaga team in 99. We barely escaped...... and frankly our squad was as good as they come

 

[Marat]

West Va was a horrible loss

Weren't we missing one or both of Adama and Tyrese ?

I said here 10 days ago that the team I would least like to see is Arkansas.
Their front line will more than neutralize UConn's and their guards are better scorers - it will be a nightmare match-up
Now, Arkansas is subject to some meltdowns at times but if they are defending like they have and get their fast game running it will be like playing St Johns with 3 really tough front court players
Ive got to look at NMSU - I know very little except they have one kid who can score - UConn should handle them

 

[SixRings]

Arkansas is Musselman. Oats is Alabama.

Claude Musselman from VT? This should be easy. Dude can’t coach. Can’t even drive.

 

[That Guy]

West Va was a horrible loss

Yeah, WVU away without Sanogo and Martin was definitely a "horrible loss"...

 

[UncleSpliff]

Gonzaga has struggled a little bit down the stretch against mediocre WCC teams. Losing to St Marys… getting taking down to the wire against San Fran (before pulling away in the last 2 min) and St Mary’s again where they won by 8-9 ish points again where it was close down the stretch before pulling away. Let’s hope that continues into the tournament. They certainly aren’t unbeatable.

[BGesus4]

Thanks. For some reason I get Arkansas and Alabama confused.

Funny I couldn’t keep the two of them straight for the longest time. Weirdly similar schools and they kind of act and look alike.

 

[JonnyRI]

What a weak arse thread. WHEN we…..

 

[Leebo]

Meanwhile Arkansas fans are already thinking about Gonzaga as well.
