Normally I would chime in with a few notable stats about the game, but the article below does the job well enough.

 
I think at this point the media collectively is trolling the slow, painful death and demise of UConn with articles and headlines like these.
 
We haven't won back to back AAC games in over a year...need to handle business tonight at home as decent favorites.
 
We seem to need blow outs to win. We are very sketchy in close games.
 
Today's game, and the home game against ECU, are the only games left where UConn would today be the favorite. If form holds, UConn ends up 13-18 on the regular season. So the last thing of interest to a UConn fan is the morning line. This team simply has to be much better than it's been, or Hurley's first year is an on-court disaster. We can only hope.

That’s not true. Ken Pomeroy’s site currently has us favored against Wichita St. tonight, against ECU twice, home against USF, and home against Temple. Our current projected record is 17-14. I wouldn’t be happy with that, but it’s a lot better than 13-18.

“After a big win vs Tulane”? Comical. Can’t believe uconn is favored by 5.5. That’s insane. Game shud be a pick em. Wichita st must be beyond awful. If I wasn’t a Uconn fan , id mortgage my house on Wichita +5.5 tonight. Hope I’m wrong.

Well, yes, really. I'm speaking of a 13-18 regular season, which would mean nine straight losses going into the tournament -- and that's what lies ahead if UConn does not win as a morning-line underdog, which it has not done once this season. Not once -- really.

We won big against Tulane. By that definition it was a big win. Why is that comical?

I guess you could look at it that way. But I don't think I've ever used that characterization for a blow out win against an awful team. If we played a top 25 team and blew them out I might say it was a "big win". But that's because it was a combination of a wide margin over a good team. A "big win" to me has to be over a good team. To each his own, I guess.

You don’t know anything about Witchita St but would bet your mortgage on them if you weren’t a UConn fan. Solid betting strategy. :confused:

LOL! You are delusional and know nothing about college basketball for sure after the results.

You’ve literally never said “we won big against _____ “ ?

Ridiculous post. The team is 12-8 and has shown much improvement over last season. Hurley inherited a mess. He has done a very good job of turning things around.
