Message: [QUOTE="jibsey, post: 5198220, member: 859"] 2011. We were losing games ( 9 regular season) and there was plenty of talk about whether we were making the tournament that year or not PLUS fans were so aggravated they was little enthusiasm to go to the BE tournament. That of course spawned Makers Muppet, the best post in UConn board history up to then and now and forever, and the magic ensued. We then went through a strong BE tourney field playing and winning 5 games, the highlight being Kemba’s step back breaker against hated Pitt. But we pulled a 3 seed by virtue of that BE performance beating AZ and KU on the way to Butler. But I think everyone here is right that we dont have the strong guard play and toughness to repeat that scenario. To repeat that we would have maybe 1 more game to lose and then run the BE and that probably doesn’t get but a 5 seed. [/QUOTE]
