UConn -7.5

[BFieldHusky]

v.s. Creighton.

 

[businesslawyer]

Home game. Not concerned about margin until McNeeley is back. I just want to remain undefeated at home.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

-7.5 feels too high.

 

[RuffRuff]

-7.5 feels too high.

It does. I was guessing 6.5. I think we win and don’t cover.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Yeah, it was too high.

 

[IndyLives]

Makes the loss even more damaging. Worst loss of the year.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Yeah, it was too high.

It was free money, unfortunately.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Yep. I rank this as the worst loss of the year too. Maui doesn't count

16 of the top 25 lost this week.

Only our fan base expects to not lose. We’re kind of spoiled.

Those other team's losses are independent of our loss.

Most of us, myself included, were very happy with our Nova loss. We don't expect to win them all.

Late January, loss at home to an unranked Creighton team. do you have a more disappointing loss this year?

Is our fan base spoiled? Yes. Of course it is. You know why? Because over the last 35 years we have won more than anyone else. Sort of goes with the territory, no?

Colorado, Dayton, Villanova are all worse losses than this. Creighton is the best team of the 5 losses we have

I meant in terms of our teams progress, not Quads, or kenpom, which i don't really follow. I really hope liams return is the panacea.

I wasn't talking quads or anything, this loss was less painful than those other 3. Creighton is a really good team so yesterday's loss was almost expected for me

You have low expectations then. They were favored by 7.5. It's at home in Gampel. Creighton is O.K. but not great. I expected a tough game but no way should the Huskies lose that game.

Sure we should have won, but Creighton is a very good team. Since the McNeeley injury Creighton is 23rd on Bart Torvik, UConn is 61st. Yesterday's loss is nowhere near our worst of the season

You have unrealistic expectations. Without McNeeley this was one of the games I thought would be tough. It’s a CBB team . They lose games. Every loss is not a “bad loss”. Especially in conference to a probable tournament team. Without McNeeley UConn is ok but not great. Going into this game what gave you any confidence that UConn “should” win this game? Could? Sure. Should is a bit further than I’m willing to go with this group sans McNeeley against a program whose had our number.
