SI expert picked UConn as darkhorse final four team

[AfgHusky15]

First Jeff goodman ranks us #11 now getting some love as a under the radar final four team. Team has a ton of talent and more experts are acknowledging it as they sit in on practices and chat with other experts about upcoming season.

Save the whole "let's play a game first" crap. I know the season hasn't started but nothing wrong with sharing some of the love we are getting.

All this says to me is that we are NIT bound.

Come on man think positive! Final 2 NIT games.

 

[Bryan Lord]

We will be 0-1 in 25 hours

 

[intlzncster]

We are well and truly f---d.

Jeff Goodman picks our guys as some such? WTF? We know better than that. We know better than almost anyone that this team has a LOT of talent and a lot of inexperience. The nice passing in the last exhibition game will hopefully be more than just a tease for the rest of the year. The best moment of the last exhibition game was the point where Rodney gets the ball on a fast break and could and should have taken it in himself to score uncontested. Instead, he waited and gave the ball up for an awesome exclamation point assist and dunk. Oh, to have a great passing team again. Maybe this team could be it (or at least pretty damn good!).

We're nobody's dark horse, we're UConn.

So let's be honest, we know the mojo here carries over to the entire universe around us. Is it our fault Trump won? Who had the brilliant idea to have that Trump mojo train last year!?

The Cubs won and hell froze over flipping the entire world on its head, so this year's final four is going to be BC, St. Johns, George Mason and Chaminade

Well maybe the first 3 but Chaminade isn't eligible.

Washington Post gave us a 4 seed come March. Wide possible outcome due to reliance on freshmen or something to that effect. The journey is always better when the young lead, if by better you mean gut wrenching, disappointing, exhilarating, wonderful, and just plain fun all rolled up into an orange ball. Wide possible outcome, indeed.
And Wagner gets the 8 seed, ... hmmm.

That's a 16 for Wagner play in game, but nevertheless I'm always less concerned with seeding than our skills and potential against good talent. 2 things, we have to rebound and make outside shots. Rebounding is part of the running game but a running game alone will not do it if we are poor shooters.

The story: Kevin Ollie might have the most underrated club in college basketball entering the season, with several key players returning off last year’s AAC title team. In addition to guard Jalen Adams and center Amida Brimah, keep an eye out for freshmen Alterique Gilbert and Vance Jackson, both future stars.
