OT: Last 8 Games

[bendm]

Our 3 toughest remaining games are at Creighton, SJU at MSG, and home against Marquette. I voted for 7-1 with our only remaining L at Creighton on Tuesday. Then I think we win 7 in a row going into the BET. Finishing 15-5 will prob be good for the 3 seed in the BET.

I hope you're right but it seems like wishful thinking the way they're playing right now.
Besides, I hate the game times for the 3 seed.

Can’t afford 20+ turnovers every game.

Formula for losing. Assuming 6-8 turnovers by the opposition, Thats giving up around a net -10 to 12 points per game. Add in 6-7 missed free throws and you’re down -16 to 20 points and fighting uphill over the course of a game.

How many more games can they lose before they become a bubble team? Big East sucks!

I voted for what I consider to be the lowest end of realistic, 5-3

The non-negotiables should be @ Seton Hall, vs. Nova, vs. GTown, @ PC, vs Seton Hall

That would leave the losses as @ Creighton, @ St Johns, vs Marquette. But @ St Johns is a neutral site, and we already beat Marquette on the road. UConn has a real chance to win those games assuming Diarra is healthy and Liam is back up to speed

Lose any of the non-negotiables and you have to win against the big 3. 5-3 puts us as 21-10 (13-7) going into the BET
With the current standings, that would be a BET lineup of Xavier/St Johns/Creighton (gulp)

I voted 6-2 which I think might be generous...

This team has talent, but to think we'll pull it all together and go 8-0 or 7-1 is a pipe dream sadly enough. Putting on more UConn gear today and watching ship runs from last 2 years.

We won't be anywhere close to the bubble, take a look at who's on the bubble this year. Those teams are BAD

 

[uconnfan68]

Not very optimistic. We're hurting physically.

...

The issue is, the team has enough issues that there are no "non-negotiables". Did you forget we needed overtime to beat Butler at home?

Probably 5 more losses and no the Big East does not suck.

They already a bubble team based on Kenpom.

You are living in a fantasy world with both those comments. How did the Big East do in non league games? We lost to Memphis, COLORADO and Dayton. Our best win was at Texas and they are not very good
