UConn was in a lot of trouble if it lost this game. 7th place would have been a possibility, and even 8th would have been a possibility. Now, third is a possibility, 4th or 5th is the likely outcome. There are just not that many games left to make up a bad loss.
Onward and upward.
6 games left. 4 at home and 2 on the road.
Seton Hall - Home and payback game.
Xavier - Home and payback game.
Villanova - Home and payback game but toughest game left.
at Georgetown - God they better not lose that one.
at Creighton - Payback game.
DePaul - Feel comfortable they win this one at home.
So I think they have a good chance to finish 3rd.
