Got to think they're at the 4 line given how week the 4s are. StJ firmly on the 5.

That's assuming the committee cared about the game that happened today, which has mostly been shown to not be the case. But either way not relevant to the overall point whether they end up as a 4 or a 5

I love your optimism, I do, but it just comes off kinda polyana a x.

This isn’t optimism lmao. IQ is a much bigger issue to overcome than height or muscle imo.

IQ is the reason we could drop a game in the first weekend.

I’d much rather be 2014 UConn with lack of size but amazing IQ than I would’ve 2012 UConn who had all the size in the world.

We lack IQ and composure. That isn’t good.

I don't disagree there.

How are we a 2 seed and St. John’s a 4? They deserve a 3 from their play lately. Except for our beat down they are strengthening.

Good news is that our elitest friends from Durham will have to deal with them before we do again. Duke could end up getting a big fat helping of BE basketball.

We don't have a height problem but we do have an athleticism problem and only having one guy who can create and take people off the bounce. St. John's athleticism and physicality gave us all sorts of problems in our two losses against them, they played up on our guys and forced a bunch of turnovers in both games. Marquette did the same thing to us and we turned it over a bunch.

They beat nobody outside the big east. Their best wins all year are the two against us. By contrast our best wins are against Florida (1) BYU(6) Illinois (3) kansas (4) and St John’s (5). Occ has to mean something for your resume.

Go back to the 2011 team that got a 3 seed after winning 5 in 5. Their OCC record played a part in that. They were perfect they won Maui beating Mich st #2 in the country and Kentucky #8 they also beat Texas #12.

Now that we know Auburn is NIT bound, I wouldn’t mind seeing Pettiford in a UConn jersey next year, however it may work

Anything that helps bring some swag in. We need some moxy, personality.
