We are one Jar Lton short of perfection
Seriously. I heard that Ed Nelson is so embarrassed by association, he's changing his last name to PurvisWhen this board relies on Nelson to be the voice of sanity — no more need be said.
13-7, same as I thought before tonightNelson, what do you think our BE record will be?
Hey at least we’re not North Carolina, lost by 30 to Kentucky.This board is literally unreadable right now. UConn lost a close game to a good team with one of UConn's starters out and another starter playing his first game since November 26. UConn is maybe a Top 20 team on its good days, and missing one starter and just getting another starter back means this was unlikely to be one of our good days. If you don't recognize that, then you are too stupid to post about UConn basketball. There is a difference between being critical and what is happening on the board right now. There are threads shredding backups that are up to 30+ posts. A lot of you really need to take a break from the Internet.
Overreacting to a win over a marginal mid-major like St. Bonaventure (that was missing its best player) was ridiculous. Overreacting to a loss over a good conference opponent is also ridiculous. Nothing that happened today was new, and the same posters losing their spit right now were trashing anyone who was even mildly critical of Hurley at the beginning of the season. Hurley has issues, but he is still a decent coach. Polley, Whaley, Gaffney and Cole are not perfect, but they are the team we have. If you want perfection, then you need another team to root for. Otherwise, chill.
That has been an issue for a decade.We scored 1 point over an 8 1/2 minute stretch in the first half. That's over 20% of the game we did absolutely nothing. I feel like that warrants some concern.
I think people are overreacting on our potential Big East record. We will sweep DePaul, Butler, and Georgetown. Also think there is a strong possibility we sweep St. John's. That's 8 wins right there. I think we bounce back with a win at Marquette and end up sweeping them as well. Probably split with Seton Hall, Xavier, and Creighton. Even if we get swept by Nova and Providence, we finish 13-7. We'll be fine.
Jeez winning by 30 is scraping by Grambling.They aren’t a good team. When we scrape by Grambling and UMES and other bottom of the barrel teams and people are content with that, we lose games to west va and PC. Teams we should beat and our issues never get fixed
I would not look down on St. John's. Going to be tough to beat in NYC.I think people are overreacting on our potential Big East record. We will sweep DePaul, Butler, and Georgetown.

It’s apparent that we need to be at full strength in these BE games. Anyone who thought different is kidding themselves with this competitive league.
