January General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

It would be cool to see them dominate the Big 12, which would actually look good for us. But yeah getting to No. 1 would be nice

Hum, it's always nice to be ranked #1 in the polls at some point in any given season. But it's tough enough just being UConn and atop the Big East where most conference teams are gunning for us and some see the matchup as their Super Bowl, never mind salivating at the chance to upset #1 and rush the floor.

With all that said, I want us to keep on winning, and run the table, which is extremely hard in any major conference. Extending this year's BE winning streak for another 2 to 3 weeks just might get us to #1 since Zona and Iowa State have a tougher field (B12) to plow.

With that said, we're 0-4 against our next opponent, Seton Hall, at their place the past 4 years when they weren't all that good. This year's team looks like their best in quite sometime. Also, we have to play at Creighton the last day of this month, which other than last season when McNeeley went off for 38 points, has been a nightmare destination. BTW, they beat us at Gampel and MSG last season.

If UConn plays anywhere close to their A-Game, especially against the programs that have given us problems, no BE team should beat us. I'm just not sure if this year's very talented team can do that after pulling out an OT W out of our *ss the other night against PC. We won't be that fortunate to come back from as big a deficit against the upper echelon BE teams.

Cincy loses a nailbiter, but kobe will sleep well knowing other teams they play against are respected.
