Not mad about this one at all.

Dude, get a grip. We play 18 regular season Big East games. So even if the team goes .500, the record will be 9-9. Like last year.

 

[Burnsbros23]

We also have a home game vs Depaul who has been playing really well so thats another loss for sure. Also @ providence IMPOSSIBLE to win there thats another loss. Home vs ND Home vs Marquette LOSS LOSS mark it down. The question is do we win another Big East game? DOUBTFUL 3-15. Lets see if we can redshirt anyone and way till next year just rest up.

I guarantee that we will not go 8-8 in the Big East.

I'm with you, and I will bet anyone up to $100,000 that UConn will not be 8-8 at the end of the BE season.

My bad. I was about to correct myself but you beat me to it. My point is still the same but let's say 9-9 or 10-8.

You jest but can you say there are any sure things with the schizophrenic team? I think the losses are easier to predict than the wins looking at the remaining schedule (I'd like to think DePaul is a W). Thank God I'm not a betting man because I would never wager on this team, with points or without. Like I said in a previous post, I am going to watch each game expecting them to lose but praying for the best so I'll be thrilled when they win but not get too down if they lose.

That's awful for a preseason top 5 team. But they are an awful offensive team. Only 2 scorers, sloppy possessions and poor perimeter defense.

Unfortunate when you potentially have 2 top 5 picks and NBA talent at 4 spots.

But happens, last year they overachieved and this year the opposite.

Prediction: 8-8 this BE season. Let's accept the mediocrity that is the 2011-2012 UCONN Huskies. Will Syracuse lose any players after this season? I hope they do and drop off next year because if they do we're gonna be tough to beat next season. Man, I miss the days when we were a dominant regular season BE team but after winning three national championships I think JC no longer makes a regular season championship a priority.

They are the #11 team in the country right now, just lost on more or less a buzzer beater 3 to a soon to be top 25 team and you act like the season is down the toilet. Get an grip bro.

Pitt, Memphis, Vandy, and Lville were all preseason top 10 teams. Preseason rankings mean

This team wins at least 11 games in conference and suddenly you will be back hyping them up.

Unless the NCAA takes away two BE games.

It's not a good team and light years from an elite team. You think Duke, UK, 'Cuse or OSU would lose to Cincy or Rutty?

Cincy plays Cuse next week so we'll soon find out. I think they have a shot to beat them. And we are a good team

I realize we aren't peaking at the moment, but let's not go nuts with hyperbole about how bad we are just yet.

If you think Duke is an elite team that tells me all I need to know about your knowledge of the game.

Stop embarrassing yourself by saying they are not a good team.

UK almost lost to Tenn.

OSU lost to Illinios.

Hate to break it to you but Tenn is under .500 and Illinois is not better than Cincy.

Your post shows me that what you say should be taken with a grain of salt because either your just a miserable pessimist or really slow.........

 

[husky91]

Cincy lost to Presbyterian, Marshall and blown out by Xavier.

All before Xmas, teams can gel and turn things around. You familiar with this concept? If not please see, 2011 UConn Huskies.

Cincy is also ahead of IU who beat OSU as well.

You know what is really awful, that you found this site!!

I understand the psyche of a fan. But it still amazes me that there are so many people in this world that insist people outside of themselves provide them with satisfaction. I understand the value of being passionate about something and the Good Lord knows I'm passionate about men's bb. But when it comes down to it, these kids aren't my toys or slaves. They owe me nothing. Their first and primary responsibility is to themselves. They also have an obligation to their coach. Failing that. the coach has a right and obligation to not play them. The university has a right in ensuring the coach follows a certain set of parameters that fit into societies rules. After that there is no claim. But somehow fans believe they have a investment in these kids. I claim that this is BS even if I know most fans won't agree with me. The assertion that someone other than ourselves owes us something is a form of pimping or abstract enslavement. We might as well stalk celebrities with our insistence that players (people outside of ourselves) be obligated to our demands.

Apologies folks. One of my buddies bought me a couple of drinks and it has liberated me from my restrictions.

3-2 with Boatright, so unless there is another situation, and assuming those wins were voided (I doubt it) UConn would have to be 11-8 and then void 3 games to get to 8-8. Not possible.

Lucky for you I wasn't accurate. Not many people can come up with 100 grand.
