My expectations just changed.

Looking forward to seeing what happens when we start putting the ball in the hands of MCDONALD'S AA caliber guards.

I remember when Jim Boeheim was on PTI and said "You don't need a great point guard to win the national championship. Look at UConn last year." He was talking about Taliek.

Boeheim definitely practiced what he preached. After that interview he spent the next 18 or so years chasing away all his good players.

I just want to win tomorrow.

You chuckleheads thinking about the sweet sixteen matchup need to be thrown in front of a train.

Or thrown into a volcano. Either will suffice.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Mojo smojo. Every fan base is looking ahead

Of course many-to-most are.
And it's suboptimal behavior.
Some such teams are already gone.
Keep the focus on beating St. Mary's.

Keep in mind that the Chaos Monkey can swing in many directions so let’s not try to get his attention, ‘mkay?

We have a national championship caliber team. We knew that ten games in. Anything short of that is a letdown. We are just so erratic that we have to temper our expectations. Every team has it's flaw and that is ours. Legit teams left are us, Alabama and Marquette.

Houston is very legit.
Houston scares me the most out of any team left.

Sigh…

Actually thought Kansas was the better matchup for UConn. I know they were a #1 seed, but just thought they matched up well.

Now, the pressure shifts to UConn. The Hogs are playing with house money. They can be a very dangerous team.

Besides, UConn has work to do tomorrow. It's not like St. Mary's is a slouch. They should be a tough out, but UConn has an overall talent and depth advantage. Just take care of tomorrow first.

Once upon a when many of us wanted Musselman at UConn. He’s a hell of a coach and has the players at Arkansas to back up his style.

But, anyways, let’s bomb St Mary’s first!

By season end I felt with this talent, anything less than an elite 8 would be a major disappointment. When I saw Kansas in the bracket, I could have lived with a Sweet 16. Now I have upped my expectations to at least an Elite 8. The talent and experience warrants such a lofty goal. Anything beyond that is gravy.

Shut up nerd!

 

[Mr. French]

Get this thread outta here!

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

As long as we are not in any close games and need to execute down the stretch or make any in game coaching adjustment we should be fine! LOL

Being completely honest, the one upside to a loss is the disappointment visited upon people who post stuff like this.

 

[Huskiefan23]

This team better not get caught looking ahead, look what happened to Arizona (their own player mentioned they thought Princeton would be an easy win).

Whoa, you got a @uconnswag LIKE for being positive. Nice!

 

[Yardigan]

Haven't read a post in this thread but will say...Kansas loss + Arizona loss clears the way for a natty. Just saying.
So happy for Dan.

How does Arizona losing clear the way? Would have only met them in the Finals and they were not a clear favorite.

Hey bud that's not how Coach Calhoun approached tournament . They can't afford to look ahead. Have to take tournament at each site is its own little pod. Have to win two game pods to advance. Focus is on the next game doesn't matter what any other team in tournament does. If we move in then we benefit from other results. We as fans always get ahead of ourselves. I certainly hope our UCONN players are not.

 

[husky1bags]

Sweet 16 is the minimum. Our opponents are irrelevant.

Your talking as a fan. Coach Calhoun approached tournament as a mini tournament At each site. Focus is on winning those 2 games . Everything else will take care of itself

 

[husky1bags]

I just want to win tomorrow.

You chuckleheads thinking about the sweet sixteen matchup need to be thrown in front of a train.

Exactly fishy they have no idea on Coach Calhoun's philosophy approaching March Madness.

 

[husky1bags]

You are being too sensitive

Hey I lost my only UCONN fans here in Jax because they said we were playing good when getting blown out by Washington University in the first half. Bad MOJO is not good. I'm just saying. Roy was fantastic in the game against us.

 

[husky1bags]

Yes we did go to win tournament game I know forgot throw in the punchline. We had 26 turnovers in that game. Washington pressure was relentless.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Good job @Madmannsucks you found a topic that aggravated most of the BY elite. You deserve kudos.

Hey Bud. Coach Calhoun is out. If you really think the boys weren't watching this game, you're delusional. I am not creating mojo. THAT is done in locker rooms and in practice.

 

[90BSEE]

MOJO? Please. MOJO is whatever the head coach deems it to be. If he does his job, you all will call it good. If he chokes, you all will call it bad. Having said that, if they play only one half of basketball again, they will lose. It is just that simple.

 

[Madmannsucks]

DOOMED!!!

Or ARE we?

 

[Madmannsucks]

Just realized are Huskies beat the Gaels 2 games in a row.

Did you really just say "Chuckleheads"?
