ugh....uconn now firmly on the bubble....for the NIT...

They're not making NIT, They'll lose to SMU and CINCY... WIN at ECU and get bounced in first round of AAC

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Oh no push off on Gray?

 

[WrenchFan69]

You have no idea what you are talking about. We are 13-13 against D1 teams with SMU and Cincy left. You are out of your mind if you think we are in the NIT

We're in the NIT

 

[tcf15]

This team is already firmly in the NIT

We're in the NIT

As of right now, not really close: http://www.nycbuckets.com/current-nit-bracketology/

Just end the friggin' game already.

 

[Towney007]

Kind of the epitome of the season.

Shallow bench. Good play erased by fatigue. Erratic to poor play by the bigs. Long streaks of nothing book ended by decent to excellent basketball that are too costly.

There's just a big gap between the top teams and UConn. I think they can knock any one of them off on a given night. I just don't think they can beat them in succession. Is what it is.

On what?

Didn't think the refs took over the game at all. We didn't compete in the second half, Houston made us look like we were playing in quicksand. I thought the refs were fine.

 

[Athlete94]

We're in the NIT

Um no

There is a NIT Bracketology? Lolz

 

[Jerry1714]

We're in the NIT

You can keep saying it but you are still 100% wrong.

Are you aware you cannot be under .500 to make the NIT?

 

[BlueDogs]

Ran out of gas tonight. Still holding out for miracles in the AAC conf. tournament

 

[noeynox]

4 years later, and Brimah still can't catch passes down low and score. He also doesnt box or rebound. Tough one tonight.

Don't forget he is always good for one stupid foul 20 feet from the basket, and one over the back foul where has no shot at the rebound.

 

[BUConn10]

Houston beat us without Adams twice.

lol at UCF being considered but UCONN not. If Uconn finishes 1-2 and gets a win in the AACT they ARE .500. (15-15)

Don't really think this team can knock off the top teams on any given night. Too little depth, too little IQ, just too many flaws. I do like the possibilities of next year, injuries and a poor senior class are too much to overcome this season.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

This sucked. Rebounding, outhustled, scoring draughts...we've seen this before. Every single game.

 

[BUConn10]

I'd rather not even play in the NIT, NCAA or bust. You guys are crazy.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

And that's why Jalen will be here next year

 

[ConnZag3]

Pathetic 2nd half, but these 3 day turnarounds of back to back road games 1,500 miles apart can't be helping either...

 

[Jerry1714]

lol at UCF being considered but UCONN not. If Uconn finishes 1-2 and gets a win in the AACT they ARE .500. (15-15)

And at .500 they won't get in. Do people realize this team has 1 top 100 win? UConn went 17-14 in the old big east and missed the NIT. Just because your name is UConn doesn't put you in if you miss the NCAA

dude... the conference has nothing to do with this.

Fair.

I do think this team's improved. I do think when things are firing they can pick someone off. I just... they didn't really beat good teams in this run. They're finally at the point of 'beating teams they should' but this 'HOLD OUT HOPE HERE WE GO' stuff is so over the top it's hard to grapple with.

 

[huskyrob1]

When you've won four national championships in 17 years why would u even care about playing in the NIT?
It's march madness or bust.

I don't think we have a prayer of getting into the dance now, those early season losses are looming large.
