Message: [QUOTE="jbdphi, post: 2525644, member: 426"] This is why we can't have nice things. UConn this year is widely considered a rebuilding project that is still very much in progress - we recently got taken to OT by Columbia and Monmouth. We are getting gradually better as the season progresses. Villanova is the consensus #1 team in the country (polls and computers), averaging something like 88 points a game and shooting 40%+ from 3 point range which is UConn's biggest defensive weakness. Having an expectation that we could or should be competitive with or beat Villanova is why so many people end up so disappointed here. You are setting an unrealistic expectation for this particular team. I'm all for hoping but to expect anything for that game is setting the wrong bar. [/QUOTE]
