Message: [QUOTE="Inthepaint, post: 4080789, member: 11386"] i remember watching a UCONN-UCF game a couple of years ago. Huskies were leading by 20 and getting way the better of the Knights. However, they were also being pretty roughly handled under the baskets. At half-time Geno was asked about the physicality of the game. He replied, referring to UCF's strategy, "Hey, if you can't beat 'em, beat' em up" Although the Non-conference games will, no doubt, be more competitive and intriguing, let's not assume that the BE players and coaches have already conceded the games or conference championship/ tournament. I will not be surprised if some of these games might get quite ugly at garbage time, when the Huskies start pulling away. Frustration and resentment might lead to some acts of thuggery, especially if we are embarrassing somebody in their own building, in front of their own partisans. Here in the BY we might view the whole BE schedule as some sort of pre-NCAA Tournament appetizer, and UCONN will probably be a prohibitive odds-on favorite to clean up. But at places like St.John's, Xavier, Creighton, Georgetown,etc., the games against UCONN will be as close to a Final Four as they will get. Don't figure them to go down without trying to put a bit of hurt on the Storrs Gang. [I][B]"Rocky 1" Apollo Creed's trainer to his fighter in between rounds: "This fool don't know it's a show!!
