UConn officially on the Bubble

We need to win the AAC to get in. I think if we get to the championship, and depending on who we beat on the way, we will be on the bubble. Hitting stride at the right time for sure. It is a shame we are not full strength.

You far over-rate this conference and the committee's perception of it.

How some of us still squint to make this conference look like a potential 4-bid league, 7 years going, amazes me.

You missed the math or I missed the opportunity to explain this better. But to my point, only 2 but 3 max will get in to NCAA's dependingonmatch up. Only Houston or Wichita are close to locks.

Hearing two things that hurts us
-games in November count the same as March
-record on the road.
I think we come up a bit short on both of those
The win at Houston was great but we beat 20 something ranked team at home. Those upsets happen all the time.
Happy to be wrong but my objective take.

Those 2 games still piss me off to no end. Definitely should have won both. Huskies played like crap against Indiana and were still in it until the end. If those games were played today I have no doubt UConn wins both.

We are literally 2 3-pointers away from being 20-10 right now. Xavier’s prayer, and one other game, forgot which one, up 3, gave up a game tying 3 with 16 seconds left. Frustrating, but glad to see during the end of the year these guys closing out games

So let's say we win the whole thing, because I don't think just two more wins in this tournament will get us an at-large. Who, besides maybe Houston, gets an at-large bid?

Only Wichita State has 3 wins over P5 teams Oklahoma and South Carolina which are worth something. They have the win over Oklahoma State as well. Not sure if the win over VCU has any value since they've been awful after starting well.

We just have to keep playing defense and making ft and we will have Naty 5.
All we need are the pieces we have keep playing for each other the way they are now. Have to win every game. We control our own destiny. No brackets needed.

Really love this mindset. With a short-handed team, you honestly have seen this team say, “no excuses, we are gonna take it to everyone”.
 
Like Chief tells the kids out on The Grind, play the game in front of you.

That’s not how it works. We will need help.

Right. There's somewhere between 10-13 teams we'd need to jump. While the metrics are decent, the resume of Q1 wins (and bad losses) just isn't that good and pretty much only two wins over WSU/Houston/Cincy will make the kind of difference to move that needle up.

Well luckily for our bubble hopes, we'd play all 3 in the tournament right now. But one game at a time and gotta beat Tulane first

So who says we are officially on the bubble. A boneyarder? That makes it official? We won't be on the bubble unless we win 3 in the AAC tournament.

3 wins gets us on the bubble and in the NIT. 4 Wins gets us really on the bubble and probably in the NIT. Win the AAC, we're dancing.
