Message: [QUOTE="Willbball, post: 3719178, member: 10889"] PC fan here...Let's be clear, UConn has played in an inferior league for years now and you all were 19-12 last year and you expect to be in the top 3 pre-season coaches poll? based on what? Recruiting and projections on paper are great, but mean squat...It's what you do on the hardwood that matters, especially in the BE...every game is a rock fight, so partly your trying to win the game, but partly you hope your team doesn't sustain injuries! I've seen many young players coming in with high expectations get knocked to their knees in this league. I'm just saying I think without UConn having played in the BE in a long time, being pre-season #4 is actually pretty strong and given respect by the coaches of the BE...honestly, I see you all finishing in 5th your first season back as you are on the younger side and will take your bumps and bruises. I'm not hating, just being realistic...PC has a lot of depth and players with experience in the BE...And Yes Duke is that good on both sides of the ball, don't be fooled...Watson will be a monster this year and don't sleep on Bynum at point...Reeves and Gannt are ready to take monster leaps this year...and you all don't know 6'9" Horchler, yet...
