Time to Change The Narrative.. If You're a UConn Fan

Speaking of other teams: I see similarities between us and Indiana. Big time programs, started off the season with some hype, started hot, lost a few to some of the lower half of our conference, fell in the rankings ....and they just took down #1.

Have won the last 3 out of 4.. Marq did not blow away Butler on their own home court.. Certain UConn guys showing their stuff.. Let's take it to Marq/Creighton next week and get s..t taken care of..

I agree about taking it to Marquette and Creighton because UConn needs some quality league wins.
Winning 3 of 4 is great but we are talking Butler, DePaul and GTown
Those results don't change a narrative in my eyes except they won games they should and lost a game they desperately needed at home vs Xavier.
Win the next two and then the narrative becomes different.

Only one bad loss this year, and those do matter. These aren't wins to hang your hat on, I agree but a loss would have been unimaginably bad. SJU was bad enough.

That SHU game and X game may haunt this team a bit, both were winnable games with some small fixes. The narrative would be completely different if UConn could have pulled those out, even just one would have changed things a lot.

The St. John’s loss is the pebble in my shoe that I cannot get rid of. Especially after the way they got handled at Creighton no Xavier and at home vs Marquette

Indiana hasn’t won a championship in like almost 40 years. That’s not the bar for “big time” we should be using for comparison imo. But point taken…we had a big swing and are still capable of beating top teams.

The refs gave Providence that game…
All those refs should be fired after that game..

Providence was better than us in that game period. We had no one to contain Hopkins and Croswell won the interior battle.

This one needs to change at home next time!

It was true. I said at the time, there is no way this game is fixed, because to ref on the take would ever make it so obvious.

Marquette fans felt the same way and wanted revenge for the 2OT loss at the AMP in December and for the shafting they received last season.

They got theirs. Now we need to get ours.
 
Team has FF talent. No reason not to raise expectations. That was the entire point of hiring Hurley and rejoining the BE.
 
The narrative doesn’t change until they start beating teams with a pulse. Scraping by Georgetown isn’t going to get the heart racing.

Two wins this week and the narrative changes, two losses and this place will be on fire, 1-1 and it’s the same old

Let’s get the home game and go from there.

1-1 would’ve been reasonable looking at the schedule before league play started, we have kinda put ourselves in a spot with the January cataclysm that we need 2-0 though. I agree.

I like PAHuskys thought process here but also understand AWs. I mean home game against Marquette is one that could begin to change the narrative. Think they need this one mentally to potentially get back on a positive roll. Huge game at the XL, no duds are acceptable.
 
Winning 3 out of 4 is not the end of the "narrative".. After Seton Hall loss.. Went on record as saying I thought we would end up 24-7 prior to BET.. Still believe that. This week's games are critical to turning around the season..

What gets old is little or no recognition of the progress we have made recently --irrespective of the opponents--as we work towards finishing the season strong.. XL crowd will be the 6th man on Tuesday.

Psychologically we need to beat someone good, Marquette, Providence, Creighton and certainly St. John’s.

The only way that changes for sure is double Bigs.

Too few data points against bottom halves to make any conclusion we made progress. Georgetown played tough but clearly lacked the same of level of execution and finish as what we will face…. And we didn’t handle them with ease. But, the guard play looks better. Let’s see how they do against better guards.
