Just in general, not comparing to that Duke team. Also, they didn’t really have any lows in their season at all, we know what it felt like to be down in the dumps in a sense. Gonna be 100% focused.
Sometimes they get it wrong. Those teams play 10 times and they split, I happen to think UConn takes 6 or 7 out of 10 but I'm biased.
I understand the feeling, but SDSU wasn't ranked #1 in the country more than any other team this year.
Yeah, if tiny FAU can score 70+ on them, then we can too. FAU also missed a few FT at the end that would have iced it and gave up a billion OREB in the final few minutes. They choked that game away
The USA Today "experts" all picked UConn by 12 to 20 points. Doomed.
Keep in mind Villanova was -6.5 against Michigan in 2018. Hopefully that helps ease the nerves some.
What can you do but control the controllables?? Keep your money in your pocket.. Stay hydrated.. Take a power nap since there's a late tip off.. Stick with your normal routines.. Listen to some tunes in your noise- cancelling head set...
correct. I am not hanging on my confidence on the Vegas spread-that means nothing to me. UConn was favored against George Mason and lost. I remember going into that game I fully expected UConn to win and go to the 2006 Final Four without even giving a remote thought to the fact that George Mason could beat UConn even though UConn wasn't that great leading up to that game. I won't make that mistake again.
That's just it right there. If my aunt had balls she would be my uncle. There is no guaranteeing they go on a run at all. But having said that, you are correct if UConn can go on a scoring run or two I am not sure SDSU can match that. UConn has to show they have the better defense. Most of the talk is about SDSU's defense slowing down UConn and frustrating them and I get it as SDSU's defense and UConn's offense are both top 10 (unstoppable force vs immovable object). However, UConn has to avoid live ball turnovers and in doing that and playing stout UConn defense they can certainly strangle the life out of the San Diego State offense.
i'm feeling '11 vibes when butler couldnt score
SDSU erased a 14 point FAU lead. Maybe it didn't happen quickly, but that's certainly a "run."
that's true. With UConn, as we have seen, no big lead is safe. But I would love it if they get a big lead. I don't want this game to be close.
Anything can happen once we start the game, but this is not like the ‘99 Championship. It was absurd that Duke was such a big favorite in that game, because all year long we played basically just as well as they did. They just had more PR and won more convincingly in a tournament that was always going to come down to us versus them.
You want to split hairs between 4’s and 5’s have at it
Vegas isn’t in the PR business. They are in the money business
Difference is SDSU isn’t 99 UConn AT ALL
It’s your point lmao. Why bring it up then? You’re saying SDSU is to this UConn team what UConn was to that Duke team? If you are then you’re way off. This UConn team may be the most under seeded team of all time. Outside of 3 weeks they’ve been the best team in the country
