You mean the 2013 NC they won AFTER they were already given the ACC offer? Obviously not.

Our 2011 Men's Championship didn't help us out. Nor did our 2009, 2010, and 2013 WCBB NCs.

And the smashing success of Rutgers' and Maryland's football programs got them in the Big 10.

I am going to wait to pass judgement until we play Memphis and Louisville (both looked tough yesterday).

If we played Memphis and Louisville in the same manner we played yesterday, it would have been a 30-40 point lead at the half.

This is a new undiscovered low point for the program. No longer reliant on Big East creds we throw away games to 2 unranked programs. Looks like serious lack of experience in team preparation before games and lack of experience in team gel and cohesiveness. we did not have the rope to throw these away. Maybe this is new normal.

Went back to read this post to remind myself how people were giving up on this team three months ago. No matter what happens during the rest of the NCAA tournament I am incredibly proud of the Huskies and proud to be a fan.

You can't say "I told you so" unless you actually told us so. Got a link where you "told us so"?

I am concerned that the OP is right. I was at a party so I didn't realize Houston was missing 3 starters until reading this board this morning. Houston is a terrible team that was ranked in the 200's prior to last night. I can't remember the last loss to a team this bad. The scariest part is I thought the team was playing pretty hard. uconn may just be an average or worse team.

Hee hee. :)

Someone invited you to a party?

He didn't say "I told you so". He just said that a bunch of you were dead wrong. And you were. And I fully expect you to dig your heels in and double down on your stupidity.

He did say "I told you so", and you just did too with this post. Can you provide a link right after the Houston loss where you predicted UConn would go to the Sweet 16? Because if you didn't, STFU.

In case you forgot, you got called out by 3 members of the media for being a d***. That is pretty hard to do as a message board poster. So my question for you is: why do you make posts like this one? Every post you make is some kind of put down, insult or attack. You aren't clever, so you aren't funny, which makes it just mean, and worse, obnoxious.

Give it up troll. You got a large portion of this board calling you a d*, which in your case is easy for you to do. You don't post as a fan, you post as a know it all in search for internet glory and you fail miserably at it.

Neither of them said "I told you so." It's that simple.

I don't know if you were trying intentionally to be funny or not when you said this, but you are lacking some serious self awareness.

I did get a good laugh though. So, thanks.

at the intersection of Cliff Clavin and Jehovah's Witness you find Nelson. UCONN is doomed unless it follows his plan.

Somebody needs to talk me down. I was changing channels and saw the old Tonight Show clip with Ed Ames throwing a tomahawk at the chalk outline's testiculos.

Ames. Ax to the nuts.

Bad mojo.

Help!

If you are going to rag on another poster for something they said way back when, then you have better have said the opposite. Otherwise you are either a hypocrite (if you agreed with the earlier comment) or a jerk (making driveby posts just to slam other posters).

All Serrano does is driveby's.
 
It was actually @champs99and04 who had the best January 2nd foresight. I'll just leave this here.

Some good points, OK4. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that Tuesday's loss wasn't discouraging, but at the same time, it wasn't completely unexpected. As I've said countless times on this board, fans direct a disproportionate amount of their energy on the W or the L, and not the quality of the performance. This team has demonstrated many, many times over the last couple of years that the quality of their performance is very much contingent on the quality of their opponent. If you had told me Tuesday afternoon we were going to lose to Houston, I wouldn't have been shocked. We've had our hands full with bad teams on several occasions the last two years - people forget the Quinnipiac and South Florida games from a year ago because we won. And if Michigan State and Syracuse would have hit a few more shots, people would have forgotten about those great performances, too. The only difference between the Quinnipiac and Houston games was that Houston played a little bit better, got a couple more bounces, and made a couple more shots. So I ask: how big of a sample size do we need before we just accept that this team is what it is? It's not going to distance itself from bad teams, because it has an abundance of mid-major/raw talent in the post and its highly dependent on the three ball. That's not to say they didn't play like the other night, because they did. The difference being, when Kentucky and Syracuse play like , they win, because they're able to generate enough easy baskets to simply out-talent their opponents on nights where their shot isn't falling. This team doesn't have that luxury, so agonizing, nail-biting type games against the Houston's and Boston College's of the world become the norm.
But we all know things aren't nearly as bleak as they looked Tuesday. This afternoon, I was looking at ESPN's most recent edition of "bracketology", and I was saying to myself, "Why the hell can't we make the final four with that draw?" We'd play Boise State or Tennessee in the round of 64, a similarly composed Villanova team in the round of 32, and then Michigan State and Syracuse - who we beat last season - in our own barn at MSG to get to the final four.

That's just college basketball. There are about ten teams that are really good, and then there are a ton of other teams who can beat anybody but also struggle to distinguish themselves against bad teams. What makes college basketball great is also what makes it frustrating.

Of course, there's a possibility that Boatright, Calhoun, and Daniels all mange to put it together by the end of the season and begin performing at a high level on a consistent basis. But that seems unlikely. Right now, this team is what they are - a solid defensive team with one of the best players in the country and a hit-or-miss supporting cast. If that supporting cast hits, we could be dancing all the way to the final weekend. If it misses, things could go really badly. The sooner people on this board come to grips with this reality, the sooner we can stop questioning our players character after every loss and questioning Kevin Ollie.

Nailed it.
 
Some people (me) avoided the board. After a loss, this board is insufferable. Perspective: UConn has a WTF loss every year or so, and they turn up all right. The people making it more than it was (and it was a supremely disappointing loss) were myopic and predictable.

Looks more like a poster simply going back to remember how bad it was, to make the current success feel even better.

oh hell yes I will tell people to look at my response. look at my original response to this post where I call all of you folks out. While you're at it why don't you pull up the post in the same period, one word to describe this team. Lets see what most of you "fans" wrote versus me. Many of you guys are the most disloyal spoiled brats.
