Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 5222700, member: 563"] IMO there are three sets of games here. Fluke games UConn should have won (SHU and Nova) where things happened that never should have happened. Just flukes you can’t really draw conclusions from at all. I’d argue Memphis and Colorado fall here also with the technicals/over the back calls. These are the games that you look at after the season and just kick yourself for losing. There is no line that ties these games together and all were winnable without complete choke jobs. Then you have injury games where Diarra and McNeeley were out, hurt or acclimating to being back. These also coincided with Karaban’s extreme funk. I’d say three games fall here X, SJU and Creighton. All in all you don’t put much thought into these games bc UConn was hobbled. Then you have the three games UConn was just beat SJU, Creighton and oddly Dayton. You can argue the Creighton game was bad calls but they lead almost all game. Two of those teams are arguably just better than UConn this year. One is a top five team and the other has Hurleys number. That’s just my opinion though. Sorry, transposed Dayton and Colorado [/QUOTE]
