Tonight is another test...we are 1-1-1 so far

No matter how much you guys want it to be...tournament team, bubble team, 23 win team...it’s the same old Uconn that started 4 years ago. They have come out against Cincinnati like nothing has changed. Like I have said before, Uconn will not get back to being Uconn until the “losers” from the previous regime have graduated. All they know is losing and have never learned how to win. Another example is tonight. They knew they were done from the tip. They never believed...hence the 12-2 start. Good morning, good afternoon, and good night.

Our upperclassmen have yet to demonstrate they can win a big game. Ever. They’ve done nothing to convince me an at-large bid should be the expectation this season. They have time to prove that. But they haven’t. That’s reality

I mean....
 
Awful performance so far. What is wrong with AG? So he’s finally healthy and he’s worse than he was his first few games as a true freshman? He has NO CLUE what to do when he gets in the paint...either overpenetrates and gets blocked or air balls a floater. And he can’t shoot at all from the outside.

I understand Dan Hurley was trying to defend AG earlier in the season, but he’s simply not defensible right now. Playing putrid basketball.

Vital is playing solo so where is his help?
 
Can El Amin get in the game? He has one year of eligibility left he left school as a Junior.

Carlton- not athletic enough to be a legit high major starter

Gilbert- blind dribbler who can’t finish; general bad decision maker

until gaffney can start and someone takes carlton’s spot, this is what the team is.

Tournament? These players show zero pride in wearing that uniform and each season do their part to help destroy one of the great programs in college basketball. Until that rot is removed nothing else matters.
 
But you know since this was a must win we might as well pack our bag folks. Seasons over

I think this team can get an at large bid but not what I was referring to. Is our season over because we lost today?

Edit: ignore me, I think you were arguing the opposite

Have you read the thread? According to some of our fans this game was a “must win”

Yeah I just edited my post as you were typing that, my bad. Think I misread your first few posts
 
We’ve made progress, we’re definitely on our way. But we aren’t ready

Yes. Toast.
 
They sucked tonight. Full stop. Abominable.

no one who said this was a must win thinks the season is now "over" in the literal sense....there are still 18 regular season games to be played. you even acknowledged "must win" could refer to a realistic shot at an at-large bid, and from that perspective the season may very well be over. but no one defines "must win" as literally as you do

But I was told we couldn’t have a successful season without an at large bid. So if the season can no longer be successful isn’t it over?
 
first time seeing uconn this season. was surprised at how meh they were. maybe just a bad night.

though i dont think much of hurley. reminds me too much of micky. but he does recruit a lot better than mick. so idk.

even if the season is over from a tourney perspective that still doesnt mean we "pack our bags." there are still 18+ games to play

So we can still have a successful season is what you’re telling me?

youre just manufacturing a semantic dispute

No I’m not. I was told anything less than an at large bid would be an unsuccessful season. It’s ok to say you disagree with that sentiment lmaoo. It’s asinine

whether or not anything less than an at large bid constitutes a successful season is subjective. thats a debate worth having. but you were arguing about the definition of "must win" and what exactly losing a "must win" game means. thats semantics so lets just stop
