Protect the Mojo

[huskyharry]

Before Seton Hall game the majority of UConn fans were disrespectful and cocky about easily beating them.
In contrast, in the Women’s board the majority of posters were humble and stating how hard it would be to beat South Carolina.
The results speak for themselves.
Fight the hubris and protect the mojo

So how the fans acted affected the results of those games?

Doomed!

Absolutely. Year in and year out.

The coaches, the players, and the fans all need to work together in order to produce a fulfilling season. All are performing less capably than during the last two seasons.

We fans can only improve ourselves in supporting the coaches and the players. 800+ posts in the aftermath of yesterday's disheartening loss give ample indication that we're doing poorly.

I'm not expecting those who post in this forum to address this and step things up. People asked questions like yours up until the Big East Tournament, and then the Round of 64 against Iona in 2023.

Really? How can you even ask this? It's like you don't know us at all.

There is 1 man, and one man alone, who is responsible and that is the man who said when we were up three with like a minute left that the game was over.

@Kitaman I'm looking at you.

It's basic quantum mechanics. Wave–particle duality states that the properties and behavior of an object are dependent on the position(s) of the observers (see Young's interference experiments). If too many of us are not saying or doing what we should be saying or doing, or worse, if we are located in the wrong position or seated when we should be standing, it can hurt the team and change the outcome of the game.

THANKS
I thought that be the answer but wanted to see if anyone else here agreed.

I have been getting kind of depressed about the recent play of the team and then I woke up this morning and found this thread and my serotonin began to be restored.

Of course! It was the mojo all along!

But Hurley couldn't hear me or read what I said.

Oh I've got my hanging candidate.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

To be fair we’re comparing a sub 200 kenpom, 1 conference win team to a dynasty like South Carolina who won 71 in a row at home.

This season has been fairly successful at kicking casuals off the bandwagon.

The team should take the same advice as us. When the going gets tough, you gotta buckle down. Yea we have massive deficiencies but we need to play past them.

Anything can happen in March!

 

[ColchVEGAS]

I will admit their poor play is on me. I have not been drinking enough Miller Lites to help fuel the mojo which is showing on the court.

Yes numbnuts.

Yes numbnuts.

I believe this more and more. If anyone remembers what phillies fans did for Trea Turner 2 years ago during his slump. Fans matter and I'm still on the Karavan.

Billboards with a message from the Phillies' Trea Turner thanking fans for encouraging him popped up across Philadelphia on Sunday.

It should be Mojo-impossible to lose to Seton Hall.

Absolutely!!!!!

Their team may be bad, but their Mojo was powerful.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

It should be Mojo-impossible to lose to Seton Hall.

If history has taught us anything it has taught us that mojo-impossible does not exist.

 

[mussels]

It should be Mojo-impossible to lose to Seton Hall.

Since we’ve rejoined the Big East, we’re 5-5 against them. Kind of amazing considering the stae of their program, and that we’ve won two national championships in that span.

Ask Perdue about overlooking small schools from Jersey.

I think high volume can be a plus whether positive or negative comments. A disturbance either way will create a reaction in the force which may be necessary to correct that which is currently out of whack.

Funny story that will hopefully add some levity to these past three days:

I have a UConn basketball-specific group chat with some buddies from our class of '16, which basically serves as a live game chat plus a location to discuss all things UConn hoops/recruiting. There are about 8 of us in there. One of them (a casual we'll call Benedict Arnold) has admitted many times recently that he simply "can't keep up" with our discourse in the group so he just frequently ignores it, and knows he should be kicked out, though he can't bring himself to leave it on his own. (He's still in a million other group texts with us so this isn't, like, cruel conditional friendship.)

Fast forward to the Creighton game this past week. We're down 14. Everyone in the group is understandably pissed. We're firing off 100 texts per minute just venting, and he's not participating at all, as usual. He may not have even been watching the game. We decide that now is the time to boot Benny Arnold, so I remove him from the chat.

Like clockwork, Liam McNeeley is endowed with the prowess of Michael Jordan, and the rest is history in Omaha. Thus, I pose the following to the denizens of the Boneyard: Was this effectively a human sacrifice that pleased the basketball gods and allowed us to win at Creighton?
