Exactly.  I'd argue that this poster is out whining us about our whining.

Not mentioned so far is the value of playing in packed arenas.  Nor mentioning having a bulls eye on your back.  UConn is going to get everyone's best shot this year.  I expect that will happen with Providence as well because they probably will be ranked next week.

[USER=1329]@auror[/USER] summed up one aspect of the victory when he reviewed play by play of the game and stated Providence made some contested threes and UConn missed many open threes.  Although we didn't shoot lights out in the Creighton game in making threes Creighton was abysmal.

The best teams need to win every home court game and whoever does better in the away games will be the champions of the regular season.

Biggest factor for me in the Providence game was the foul trouble Andre was in all game.  In a tough environment defense is one aspect of the game that is most predictable and not having Andre available to cover Hopkins was clearly an advantage that was in Providence's favor.
