Awful blown lead to USF and now the women not only lose but by DD, never happens. Can only hope the week ends on a high note vs UCF cause if not, worst week ever?

I remember when the men choking against mich st in 09 or the women against Nd in 11 costing us double dips was a bad week.
This is the freaking twilight zone.
Getting pummeled in the Fiesta Bowl and Randy leaving the next day was rough also. Even as a casual-at-best UConn football fan, I knew that was a bad series of events for our school. For Randy, too, as it turns out.Nothing will ever surpass Louisville to the ACC over UConn
I remember getting beat by Gerry McNamara in the Garden in 2006, then stumbling to beat Albany in the NCAA opening round, barely sneaking by Kentucky, needing Rashad to bail us out vs. Washington, and finally losing to George Mason.
That might have been the most stressful 2-3 weeks of my life. It’s like a bad girlfriend, you know they’re going to let you down you just don’t know when.
I hated getting squeezed like that. Almost as bad as when Marcus White squeezed the ball between the hoop and backboard vs. Texas in 03’.Nothing will ever surpass Louisville to the ACC over UConn
This women's team isn't very good, really not surprising they lost away to one of the best teams. NCAAW is way down as a whole.
No, there's more parity in the women's game. Men's hoops fans have been sneering for years at women's basketball because of the lack of parity and now that it's starting to emerge, fans are saying the UConn team isn't very good.This women's team isn't very good, really not surprising they lost away to one of the best teams.

Notre Dame is "vastly inferior"? Both losses in the Final Fours were by a total 4 points in overtime on shots that were last minute prayers.But it does make losing to 2 vastly inferior teams the past 2 years in the semi finals more costly.
Ah but there was an oblivious joyousness back then. The Field House would be packed and rocking even with under achieving Perno teams. To tell the truth, I miss though days, though obviously I wouldn't trade our natties for them.As somebody who watched UConn play under Dom Perno at the old Field House. These two days don't crack my top 100 worst. Not even close.
There has been a general decline in the major programs that is a bit worrying. Football, MBB and even now WBB (Baylor isn’t their first struggle this year and Gino has lost out on some top recruits). The AAC is a big drag on our programs and slowly killing us. NBE (with no football) is not the answer. Have to get to a P5 conference. Has to be the single top priority of the school, because it will start impacting interest and application demand and start degrading the schools selectivity rankings with small applicant pools. Insufficient appreciation has been given to the impact successful national sports programs have had on perceived desirability.
That league technically still exists. They just sold their name to an upstart conference.Nothing tops the day the Big East broke up or it was announced
