Let’s dance

[krinklecut]

Losses hurt. But the way everyone around here implodes after a loss in a competitive game against a good team is bad for the program.

Let’s go dancing.

I agree. This is just the appetizer. In a week all this will be forgotten, if/when we make our run. Let’s do this!

Forgot how this felt. A depressing loss in the conference tournament but you are heading to the NCAA Tournament anyway. Usually I get over the loss the next day and start looking forward to the big dance. . A few that come to mind...2003 Big East Championship game where we got blown out by Pitt. The 6 OT game, and the 2014 AAC Championship game vs Louisville.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Definitely a bit deflating tonight. But we are still heading to the tournament after a long drought. Team is on the rise.

Creighton is good as well. No shame.

Got harassed by Louisville fans a row behind us at the 2014 AAC championship game. Sucked. Got hammered on Beale St. after, ran into them, and made sure they knew we were winning it all.

we did.

Thanks for this thread. We don’t deserve success sometimes.

I'm not sure how good Creighton really is. maybe with a favorable draw they get to the sweet 16, maybe. I think Uconn has a much higher tournament ceiling - did not play a good game at all tonight.

I think post NCAAs we will look back on this season and wonder how UCONN lost to Creighton 3x

I thought they needed 2 wins minimum in the BET and 2 in the dance to call this a good run. They fizzled out in the BET and we will likely have an awful seed in the dance. It'll be a long week off. Blew a big lead in the 1st half and another lead in the 2nd half. They should have been able to take control of this game but they couldn't.

Losing 3 times to the same team should not be accepted

 

[Tenspro2002]

This was a big loss. With a win we were almost locked in as a 6 seed or better. The 6 line is exactly where we wanted to be.

Now we're looking at a 7, maybe even an 8. That means a team comfortably in the field in Round 1 and maybe an Iowa or Ohio State in Round 2.

I’m pissed because we lost an extremely winnable game. But I’m still high on this team. I don’t expect 90% of our players to play flat next game.

 

[Hoopcrazee]

6 or 7 line....Gonna make some hay!!!

Okay I no longer accept it thank you.

 

[HCCForever]

Losses hurt no doubt about it. But it is good to feel emotions again while watching hoops. On to next week.

Accepted? I mean who is accepting it?

It is also utterly meaningless in terms of what is ahead of us

I don’t really care about how winnable it was, we have been competitive with this top 10 team consistently. I didn’t care about winning for the seeding, just their confidence in their ability to grind out a tough game against a tough team like that.

It’s so late now that I don’t think individual wins and losses change anything much.

Nah Big East tourney games are never meaningless. Also, we lost out on good seeding.

Glad to guide your journey towards acceptance. I like this for you

You've been consistently pessimistic about this team's tourney chances for 3 months so I think you just need to subtract 1 from whatever your thinking is about seeds

Because they played a quality team with experience

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!?!?

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Selection Sunday comin' and we finally will give a ^%&!!!!!

We will survive the first weekend.

 

[auror]

My pipe dream goal for this season 2 years ago was Sweet 16. It's very much in play. I'm quite happy. Work to be done, but we're on the right track.

 

[krinklecut]

Wait oh god now I’m confused am I supposed to move away from or towards acceptance

 

[deedougie]

Think it's pretty simple. Creighton are a solid good, well coached team. You'll have to beat them, they will not give the game to you.

 

[willie99]

I felt bummed after losing a big game I expected to win.

I like that feeling. Better than being numb to it all
