Marquette v Cuse

[UCONNfan1]

And on Wednesday... Cuse will have to cheer for us to win...

That's gotta make the whole lot of them throw up in their collective mouths...

MCW is great against CCSU and Monmouth.

This. It cracked me up how, during our game against Cuse, ESPN had a stat showing how he averaged 9+ assists for their first 12 games, then 5 or so since. The announcer went on to say "Clearly, James Southerland's absence has had a huge affect on MCW."

Is ESPN really that dumb?

yes

Is there a bigger waste of talent than Southerland? The dude is 6-8 and athletic, and 11 of his 13 shot attempts were 3's.

It's pretty commical that those losers predicted we would be awful this year and fade into irrelevance. Well, they now have the same amount of losses in the Big East as us.

But, wait, our two best players would be walk-ons at Syracuse!

He's good, not great. He's had a solid year (aside from academics). Syracuse had a better team last year, and lost some key players. They feasted on their pre-conference Carrier Dome cupcakes. I don't know why people expected this year's team to be better than or on par with last year's team.

I guess it must be a coaching problem then.

You know 61cygni, this is great. Boeheim is nearing the end of his career, and KO is beginning his.

How awesome is that?

And of course the Cuse fans remain delusional.
This from the Cuse board:
"Okay, so, six losses.

• Each loss has been to a team with inferior personnel"

If you go by high school ranking, probably true:

Triche: no rank
Southerland: PG, no rank

Fair: #63 in class
Keita: no rank

MCW: McDAA, #21 in class
Christmas: McDAA, #20 in class
Cooney:#65 in class (how the hell was he ranked ahead of Boatright?)

Coleman: McDAA, #14 in class
Grant: #37 in class

Not many teams can look that bad down low with two McDAA centers.

 

[Gurleyman]

I know I said after we beat them then they had some gruck (grit and pluck) and that they'd win a game or two before the year is out.

I know it seems crazy, but I still stand by that comment. The key when you're a grucky team is that you generally give yourself a chance every night out. That's all you can ask. One day, the bounces will go your way.

I believe their current team has as many McD's AA guys as UConn has had in the last six seasons combined. Someone, please check my math. Kemba, Rudy, Charlie, right? Drummond was a weird case, granted, but still...

It's not just about having grit, its about being gritty, applying that grit. That's where the pluck is generated.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Quse is overrated annually. They will choke this year in the NCAA as usual. Boeheim is one of the most overrated coaches out there. They can't lose enough.

 

[temery]

A great deal of people HERE predicted we'd have a crappy year.

It's pretty commical that those losers predicted we would be awful this year and fade into irrelevance. Well, they now have the same amount of losses in the Big East as us.

Also, for people who thought somes of us can be too harsh on our players after a loss, go check out their borad....

And who would've guessed it? Boeheim was a bit grumpy after the game.

I think the mumu was a burger as well.
