Lose to Hall on the road, move up in NET rankings.

[storrsroars]

From 15 to 14.

SHU went from 25 to 26.

For those saying UConn is a bubble team... not as long as the NCAA employs the statisticians who produce this thing, lol.

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

Went up in Kenpom too.

23 to 22.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

But, but, but...did the algorithms see the last play Hurley came up with???

 

[uconngb]

Keep losing and I’m sure we will keep moving up

 

[HeGotGame]

Keep losing and I’m sure we will keep moving up

You do know teams other than Uconn lose right? I am honestly not sure if some people on this board are aware of this fact.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Deservedly so. At the end of the year, too much focus on just W and L. Out Ls are all very close, and all to good teams. Two road, one neutral. It doesn't get closer than OT. Then consider missing key players in several of those. They have zero bad losses. Now, need some wins. That starts on Wednesday.

 

[Rico444]

If they keep losing with the next 7 games they're in deep trouble. That being said, they should go at least 5-2 in this stretch.

 

[Austin316]

Can’t wait to get ranked Hall at Gampel and blow them out.

Edit: ANNIHILATE THEM!

Wins and losses are a helluva metric to overlook when assessing the totality of a season.

Come on you know they matter. But the nature of the wins and the losses matters more than the raw numbers. Clearly they need to win more games going forward.

but hey, we were close. I mean, we're ALMOST 14-0

And which of those do I care about?? NONE

 

[UConNick]

Auburn's 6 in NET and will probably be ranked even higher in the AP poll when it drops at noon. That win's carrying a lot of water for us right now.

Wisconsin jumps to No. 10 in Power 36 men's college basketball rankings

28. UConn (28): The Huskies are close to being an elite Big East team. Close. They just need to get in a rhythm after a long pause.

 

[Husky Alien]

SHU went from 25 to 26.

They know where damn good! We can play with any college team. Just need to finish them. There! I said it.

 

[Tenspro2002]

The good news is the computer rankings actually do care about margins, so close losses don't hurt us as badly.

That said, they kill us in the actual human rankings, perception, and buzz.

 

[bendm]

as a cautious optimist even i think we're about to go on a 7 game winning streak ahead of a ranked showdown at nova on 2/5

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

We SHOULD be able to rattle off 7 wins in a row before a huge showdown with Nova. Anything less than 6-1 will be bad. If that’s the case it’ll be a top 10 matchup

Between 5 and 6 wins is the computer model estimated wins. Less than 5 is bad. 5 is fine, but not happy. 6 is good. 7 has us flying high.

We should handle Creighton at home but that team is crazy streaky. I REALLY don’t want to get swept by PC but I do not wholly expect to win.

Advancing in the NCAAT is heavily weighted on final score too.

A win that's sneaky helping us out a lot is VCU. They're on the brink of being top 50 in NET which would make that a Q1 win. Was tough to watch UConn struggle with them in the moment but they're actually a really good team and even better now that Ace Baldwin is back.

Yeah Auburn and VCU are combined 17-0 since we beat them. Mich St is also 8-0 since Atlantis and Baylor is undefeated in general.
