Uconn +1

[BFieldHusky]

For tonight.

 

[Hankster]

Even. Going into a hostile environment Texas will be up for it. Pups need to take care of business. Limit those threes.

 

[Penfield]

payback time

 

[Silk31]

It's been awhile for us to come away with a key road win...time to get a much needed OOC W tonight preferably of the buzzer beater variety to return the favor

 

[Ripper32]

I don't trust this team in it's present state against a P5 team, even with Ridley out.

 

[Leebo]

I don't trust this team in it's present state against a P5 team, even with Ridley out.

I hope we can join the P5 soon so that we can take part in the magical properties that get conferred upon the members.

I hope you would trust the team against a team like Rutgers or BC, magical powers or not.

Then we're screwed.

Next

At the time, vs Florida was pretty good last year.

I'ld prefer UConn just cruises to victory thru a beat-down, though.

P5 =/= good.

UConn should be good tonight.

No offense but Florida was 7-5 at the time we beat them...I wouldn't categorize that as a good road victory

 

[raf46]

For tonight.

I fear the pressure D by Texas will fluster Gibbs. Before Texas turns it into a turnover delight, Adams will be needed to play as a Soph, not as a freshman.

I love it. People just take gratuitous shots at Gibbs that have no basis in reality now. The fifth year kid is going to be flustered so the freshman has to play like a sophomore. Good grief.

If you want to grasp at straws, then why not suggest that Gibbs will be flustered by playing on his former home court again or something.

Need a whipping boy with AB out. But Gibbs will have a good game tonite

I love that people like you still defend him as if he was some absolute stud PG that led Seton Hall to multiple elite 8's or something.

I love that people hammer on the kid despite having proven everyone one of you wrong prior to coming to Storrs. Has he lived up to it yet, No. But he's already done it and will do it again. Just be sure to be around.

ahahhahahah I was thinking the same exact things.

The P5 logo on their jerseys (which, incidentally, doesn't exist) allows players to turn into superman for periods of time during games against none P5 opponents.

The only thing that matters is how that victory stacks up in March. I don't know why people can't just admit that.

He has also been better than most give him credit for. It's not like he's been a dumpster fire. He just hasn't lived up to expectations. Yet.

Obviously and that win (which wasn't even all that great at the time) turned into a complete non factor for our resume once March rolled around

Of course it was a factor, can you imagine what the seed would have been without that win? Our seed was a reflection of losing to all those garbage teams like Houston. We deserved it.

Come on, the Gators ended up 16-17 last year. That is the definition of a win that you can't hang your hat on. It's just another W vs a below .500 opponent.

Now we all know why we missed the tourney a year ago and those losses to the teams did us in. Avoid those kind of similar slip ups this time around and we should still be dancing regardless.

Whoops, I was talking about the year before that! I couldn't figure out why you were saying it wasn't a good win. hahaha

Yeah his horrible Big East conference record the last 2 years and that 3/2 A/TO ratio last year really inspires a ton of confidence. And he's really passed the eye test this year as a 5th year senior with his ability to distribute and get to the rim.
