next week make or break

Recently released BPI (Bilas Index) has us at 53

53. UConn Huskies

This is the wait-and-see period with UConn. Given this program's history, no one will come right out and write off Ryan Boatright and the Huskies, but I don't notice anyone rushing forward to pick a repeat title, either. Too many turnovers and a lack of points in the paint have plagued Connecticut this season. That said, if Kevin Ollie's team wins its next three games -- at home against Tulsa, and on the road at SMU and Memphis -- just wait and see how fast this bandwagon fills to capacity. -- John Gasaway

I love how it is simply illogical and irrational to ever write UConn off again.

Ah, I wish somehow we used this line up all year. Nevertheless one down, next two we just need to play the same way. I think we have the better talent with this line up

honestly SMU will be a much tougher challenge. They are a better team than Tulsa and it will be a road game (something UConn hasn't done well with this year). Plus Brown just has Ollies number it seems.

I do not think 3 wins puts us in, but it definitely gets us back in the conversation.

We would probably be around the first four out on that weeks bracketology.

The teams on the bubble have resumes not far off from us as is.

I think tonight's game was a statement game by your team. And the statement was that 'we have come to honor our dignity and reclaim our talent to regain our rightful position.' Good win tonight that may result in shaking Tulsa's confidence down the road, and advancing UCONN's.

This is a differnt team with that line up NO way we are 14-9 with that line up--more like 19-5
