Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2752085, member: 5798"] Query........[B]when are these expectations formulated?[/B] During the summer?, in November, just before the season begins?, or sometime in late January? If you remember, during the summer after the BIG 3 left, expectations ranged from doom and gloom (losing as many as 3 games during the OOC portion of the schedule) by some posters, to winning the NC. No AA starters were returning, and there were 3 openings in the starting line up. Every year, perceptions change as the season progresses. I submit that expectations for this team will be much different in late January than they are today. There will be no "unknowns" or "what ifs" by then. UConn fans will know exactly what they have, and what they can realistically expect from that point going forward. The teams that are serious contenders to win the NC will have already positioned themselves in the top 7 spots nationally. [/QUOTE]
