Maybe the loss helps

[HooperScooper]

I may be pushing it by saying this, but they seemed very confident coming into the game and maybe this helps in some way heading into next weekend. Don't hang me for this take on the team and the game

Mike Anthony of the New Haven Register (yes, he left the Courant recently) with a similar thought.

“I think inexperience with the program and inexperience with the team in a postseason game like that showed up in some critical spots,” Hurley said. “I just think as a program we needed to experience the tension and intensity of a high-leverage game in March. We haven't been in one of those in years.”

Hurley added, “They're a hair better than us.”

This team was desperate for a signature win - not just for seeding purposes, but also for a late-game confidence builder. I have a hard time believing last night’s loss was a good thing.

Quality of team in regards to tonight being the real championship game. Creighton is going to beat GTown tomorrow as we would have. We’re just significantly better teams than Georgetown

Bump lmao. I’m an idiot

Creighton really impressed me. They have an almost professional demeanor in the way they play -- very poised, and very disciplined.

And Georgetown destroyed them.

Amazing.

And Georgetown destroyed them.

Epitomy of March Madness.

UConn’s shortcoming is not enough players can score, which hopefully improves each year. An off/night by one or two players and we are really impacted. Isaiah is great defender, but offensively? Polley can easily be neutralized. Really, it’s RJ and Bouknight who are the two main threats. Martin is good complimentary player but is inconsistent on offense. Great team defensively, but in the tournament, all the teams are good defensively and many have better offenses. Still, I’m hopeful!

Soooooo I do feel like resume wise it didn’t necessarily hurt us!

Zegarowski is not as skilled as Bouk but is tougher at this stage, stronger. He's 22. We'll see when Bouk is 22 but it won't be in our uniform unfortunately.
