UConn number 25 in AP Poll!

One of their most impressive results is their loss at Creighton, held then to 57 and had a shot to win, then a rebound and another shot to win. These last few games have been without their starting PG.

They’re good - their starting 5 is balanced, multiple dogs.

They played a close game against Creighton and came up just short?

Now I understand why some are praising what they have done recently while contemplating jumping off the ledge due to what we have done recently.

We might get steamrolled at Creighton. We got steamrolled last season and that was our best team ever. Hurley has never won there...

I'm not looking forward to that game and I'm not looking forward to the two matchups with St. John's. They're a horrible matchup for us and they're a better team than us right now.

I’d be curious to who has the best home record in the BE since Creighton joined. I’d say it’s the toughest environment in the BE. The did lose one game there this year, early to Nebraska.

That leaves us with @Marquette. Need to figure out how to win at least one of the next 3, or…

What team with a pulse have they steamrolled recently?

Isn't it enough that they are beating the teams we are losing to?

Why did you describe it as "steamrolling teams"?

Why did you describe it as "steamrolling teams"?

Because they steamrolled some teams. Xavier by 10 and 8 , Nova by 12, Georgetown by 25. Seton Hall by 30. Why are you doing this?

Didn't they need overtime to beat Xavier at home?

What I'm doing is basically an attempt to reconcile how in our situation the sky appears to be falling while St John's evidently has become more formidable than the Celtics. They are doing well and over the past 30 days, clearly better than we have been doing. That said, the difference in performances does not warrant the differences in perception that the bulk of this board has for each program at the moment.

Just fully convincing myself this is January 2023 redux. Hard to bank on the same final result, but more about them finding their footing for the back end of the year whatever the end result.

Gosh, no, this is not the same thing as January 2023. This year we lost our best player to injury. We were rolling before that injury. And we have been in all but one game since he went down. This is not the same thing. Now, this is also not as good a team, obviously. But this is not a "January 2023 Redux".
