Sure, but this UConn team is also probably better than that one

Point was drawing a mediocre team on the road is different than a good team on the road considering the other options (good team or mediocre teams on more neutral courts).

Antoine Anderson had 10 points in a game where UConn beat Oregon in Oregon. Just saying.

terry larrier spent some time at center (!!) in this game too, iirc

as a celtics fan, it's crazy to think that payton pritchard was on that oregon team. he was their top scorer, too!
 
As someone who will be going to this tournament, absolutely crucial for UConn to beat Oregon and get in the winner's bracket. It looks like the loser's bracket games for both brackets get shipped off to play on the campus of U Portland a few miles from downtown vs. playing downtown in the Coliseum or the Moda Center. Can't maximize the # of games I see overall if I have to commute to U Portland for 2 UConn men's games. :)

Team couldn't shoot (3-17 from 3), couldn't pass or set up an offense (4 assists total), and had no post presence (both centers fouled out in 14 minutes of play) -- how the hell did we win that game? I guess our defense was pretty good?
 
This has probably been covered but what is protocol if we eventually match up with Nova? Non conference game? Could we conceivably play them 4 times this season?

I think it was just a really ugly game for everyone. The only thing I remember from that tournament was losing to Arkansas by like a billion.
 
Good 1st game against a quality opponent on their "home court"
Nothing wrong with that
You know Altman will have his kids ready
UConn owes them for that MSG loss a few years back.

The may of been the weakest UConn team since 1986 . With the exception of JA
That lineup was held together by bubble gum. Babies , NFL replacement players and ,and walking rehab guys .
Injuries, Mutiny, Graduation, NCAA , and decommits destroyed that team.
How we beat Oregon and played MSU tough until Gilbert went down again is a mystery.

I'll probably be there too, if I can skip out on Thanksgiving dinner. UP is only 15 minutes from Moda if it helps.

Out of curiosity are these all Nike schools?

Yes, of course. That's a major point of the tournament. UNC is a Jordan Brand school but that's under Nike so I guess it counts.
