is tonight a must win?

[husky99]

I know they are all must win.. wondering what people think

 

[Chelo]

No doubt about it!!

 

[UChusky916]

Not quite a must-win. We still have more games against high quality teams (plus the BET).

But its as close to a must-win as it gets. I'm not sure where Calhoun would go from here if the lineup changes don't pan out.

No but if we don't put some kind of string together soon our tourney chances will be slim.

 

[Drumguy]

Yes.

 

[HuskyBballFan]

Must win..or else what? They cancel the rest of the season? They'll ban Uconn from the tournament regardless of how the year plays out?

They need to find a way to win 2 of these next 4 games. I happen to think Georgetown and Seton Hall are the most winnable of these 4, but I could care less which 2 they win as long as they win 2.

If they're sitting at 17-8 after the DePaul game (now THERE'S a must-win), they'll be looking at a difficult, but more manageable last 5 games where they get the good teams at home and the weaker teams on the road. Three out of the last five will be more than enough to get in, if this scenario plays out.

 

[Drumguy]

Must win from a psychological viewpoint. If our guys feel they can't win no matter what the coaches do, then I think we're toast for the rest of the season.

 

[FeedTheDove]

Gotta get some momentum going and confidence back. AO needs to break out off the bench.

 

[Rico444]

Not a must win...but we have to show up and play well. As long as we do that, a loss is ok.

 

[61cygni]

No.

 

[AJC88]

Would hate to see us lose it as I feel it would be detrimental to team mentality, but if we do it doesn't mean we are out of the tourny, just a tougher road to get there.

 

[Kitaman]

Well its crunch time and they better win.

 

[jibsey]

Must is 7th game of the world series, but we MUST score more than 50 points.

 

[hungry husky]

Not a must win, but gotta prove that we can beat good teams on the road.

 

[FeedTheDove]

Not a must win, but gotta prove that we can beat good teams on the road.

To ourselves more than anyone else.

 

[Inyatkin]

That was Calhoun's quote from 2005, I think. "Must win or what? They kill you?"

 

[willie99]

of course not

 

[sparky]

It's a must win so I can shut some buttheads at work up. We need to take on some sort of identity. The benching of Bazz may shake him up. He's only a soph and alot hit him this year especially all the boat issues and also the fact that JL hasn't been consistent and AO is in " i feel sorry for myself land ". I liked this team in the beginning and I still do. We will make it work.

 

[Prezidint]

Clearly not.

I heard you can loose until the BET, win out there, and then make a run to the NC.

[Chelo]

We are 14-6 and 4-4 in conference with the hardest part of our schedule coming up. If we finish the season 6-4 and 21-10 and 10-8 in conference, we will make the NCAA's. If we falter and lose one more game and end up 19-11 and9-9 in conference, then we have to win at least a few games in the BE Tourney to be tourney bound. We Have to win at least 6 games in our reg season.

This team has been up and down all year. Who knows maybe they will win out or go 8-2 or 5-5. But this GTown game IS a must win because it will give them some confidence and momentum going into the heart of there remaining schedule.

 

[StongingtonBob]

From an outsiders perspective, I think you all have to agree on the definition of "must win". If it is defined in terms of the NCAA's, I would say no. A loss tonight wouldn't be considered a bad loss. Rutgers and Tenn are bad losses. DePaul, PC and 'Nova would be considered bad losses. Realtimerpi predictor has you losing tonight 74-67 but in very tight games with Nova and PC, losing at Nova and finishing the season 20-10 (10-8). Any scenario that has you finishing .500 or lower in conference puts an at large in jeopardy. With a loss tonight, I would say SHU, DePaul, Nova, PC and Pitt. are all must wins, with at least one BET win keeps you in

 

[Edward Sargent]

For the love of my sanity YES this is a must game for ME. Who else matters?

 

[RS9999X]

I hope so. I'm hoping Roscoe bangs some heads while out there and we see some physicality in the post play. I realize he's in front of friends and family and all that but we still need a physical presence

 

[Scot-e]

As close as it gets this time of year.
