UConn and its bracket - the first two rounds at Gampel

I'm kind of happy that UCLA and Texas will play against each other if they make it to the FF.

Iowa State is rated 28th by Massey. How are they the probable 2nd round opponent again?

I just might take the over on this one. UTSA only averaged 60 points a game, averaged 40 rbds, 13.4 asts, 7.3 stls, 3.5 blks, 18.2 TO's, with a 39.4 FG%, 69.4 FT% and 29.3 3pt%.

I agree! And the spread will increase during the week for those reasons & because bettors love to wager on UCONN.

If we win, and they win.

As I posted in another thread, we saw UTSA play USF in January. We have season tickets to USF..USF won 70 - 53.

UTSA was middle of the pack in the American but they won the tournament.

We are bigger, faster and stronger. Our defense will tear them apart.

I know the record isn’t very good. But they are the AAC champions. You know… the league we used to be in? The league our good buddies south Florida are in.

I am surprised we aren’t getting a team from a weaker conference.

29th would be an 8.

To me UConn matches up far too well with them to even think about complaining.

 

[Stagnant]

UConn can run Audi and force those guards to make a million turnovers. I also think UConn matches up very well with Iowa State.

Iowa State was 16-4 when Addi Brown played, 6-5 when she didn't.

Really shouldn't be a 2nd round matchup for UConn.

Thank you, I was going to post. Arizona won the play in but lost the 1st round game, thus not facing Connecticut. It was Arizona's last NCAA appearance.

Connecticut's opponents for the first 2 rounds are certainly not an issue. The top seeds - except for the notable Stanford loss to Harvard - have never not advanced to the Sweet 16.

 

[HuskyNan]

Have you guys forgotten last year already? I’m pondering paying big bucks to fly up from Florida just to watch Audi chase Blanca for 20 minutes. In case the print is too small - it says UConn 101, Iowa State 68, and that was an early season game before the defense improved. Azzi didn’t play in that game, either

Add Stanford’s 2023 loss to Ole Miss in the round of 32.

These guys are in our bracket. Go Stags!

If the games hold up, we can finally get to see what all the fuss is about with this Audi Crooks.

Interesting. The eye test worked in UConn’s favor

Observable component = the eye test

Observable component = the eye test

Isn’t that what I implied?

Yes you did. I was providing further clarification for those BY’ers who might not otherwise be familiar with the reference.

We got to see that last season as Crooks put up a very respectable 22 points against the Huskies at the Mohegan Sun. Unfortunately for Iowa State, the Huskies shredded the Cyclones zone defense, winning the game by 33. I expect more of the same this year, particularly since Iowa State has really struggled at the end of the season. Of course before that matchup happens, Iowa State has to get by Syracuse.

 

[HuskyNan]

The Selection Committee saw these stats too

I like the path we have to the final four....it is up to UConn. to get to the big game and bring another Championship home.

This virtually assures we will now face Syracuse. 😁

Why should Iowa State fans be looking forward to round 2 vs. UConn? Pretty sure they are not.
