I say we need this for security, lose and we are at the mercy of the committee, and certainly at risk.

I feel we can't lose this nationally televised game, or if we do, at least prove to the country that we belong (i.e. no double digit loss).

Beating the legitimate top 5 team solidifies our spot.

Damn, I hate this kind of talk with this loaded team!

I view this as do or die. I know the crowd will bring it tonight and I think that's the type of intensity and support this team needs to see in place of Calhoun's presence.

We win - we took out the #2 team in the country towards the end of a season when rankings are much more accurate and solidify our spot in the dance.

We lose - it's in the committees hands and we could be looking on the outside in.

Let's go Huskies!!!!

No but if we lose we at least have to win 1 of our last 2 and probably at least 2 in the BET. We beat Cuse, we are in.

No, its not a must win by any means but it will be a very telling game about how the rest of our season will go. The last two games against Nova and Marquette we came out flat and very disinterested, I can't see that happening again tonight but if it does we will probably see this the rest of the way. We are in right now plain and simple, a loss to the number 2 team doesn't eliminate us just makes our last two games much more critical. This is a game that could potentially be a season changer for us if we win this I truly believe we get rolling down the stretch. Very eager to see how this team performs tonight.

If we win, we only need to win 1 of our next 3 games to be a lock.

If we lose, we need to win all of our next 3 games to be a lock.

No the bubble is weak. NCST lost today. 4 straight. MD lost to GT. the ACC may only get 4 teams in if Miami lose on Sunday to FLST.

need to win and send Cuse to the ACC with a parting gift.

Not do or die at all - they have two winnable games to follow. Although a huge opportunity to make a statement to the committee and more importantly themselves that they can put a lot of this garbage of a season behind them. It's not often one game can put a lot of ugly losses to bed, but I think this one can. It's a huge huge opportunity and they will have a ton of support backing them up so a big showing to understand whether they can grab some momentum and see if they have the character to turn things around and put it into a gear they haven't shown for March.

They get punched in this one, I think it's time to start waving the white flag on this season and just accepting them for what the are, a disappointment, whether they make the NCAAs or not.

This is UCONN and we are here to win to prove that we are still UCONN and we will always be UCONN. This is our time and time to whoop some Orange ass on prime time television. There are no more moral victories.

They are here to die it looks like. Wow. The defense is so soft. Nobody wants to step up for a charge. SN doesn't want to shoot anymore. Weird.
