Is Georgetown a trap game?

He must be talking about 2006-2007. That was a rough season after losing so many guys from the season before. Wasn't that Calhoun's only season after 1989-1990 that he didn't take UConn to either the NCAA or NIT Tournaments?

Yes that was a terrible season. IIR they started the season like 13-2 and ended like 17-14. They went like 4-12 in BE play. Considering they had an entire team full of future NBA players (albeit young at the time) it was prob one of the most underachieving teams or Calhoun tenure right behind the very last one.

If we're going to have a bad loss, let's do it tomorrow. Don't see it as a trap game or any other cliche. But as we head into one and done territory, I think the stench of a loss to this hoyas team would right whatever lingering wrong our guys might have hiding somewhere.

Lol we had the spread beat by 11 points with 150 seconds left and Georgetown ended up comfortably covering. Thank god I didn’t bet that game.

There's a difference between seems not good enough to win but actually is vs. just absolutely isn't good enough to win. This is the latter.

Only good enough to win against our deep bench.

UConn played well for 34 minutes (Outside the 1st 4 and final 2). All things considered, it was a let down after the more or less complete effort against Nova.

Wha? A trap game and we blew 'em out of their own building until we emptied the bench. Honestly, I think you're all on dope.

Georgetown likes to play a similar style to ours with much less mature players. We’re probably the only team in the league that lets them play their game. That’s their good news. Their bad news is we’re also playing our game and we’re a lot better than them. That’s never a recipe for an upset.
For teams like us to lose to less talented teams normally requires them getting us to play their pace. . We will beat GT 99 out 100 times this year.

My full posts provides context. An 85% effort will not cut it in Omaha.
