Woof

 

[HooperScooper]

How the mighty have fallen. Ugh.

 

[ccsuphanner]

They've never beaten us when we've had Mike Noyes on the roster.

 

[Penfield]

If we beat them it probably doesn't even move us onto the bubble

 

[Huskyforlife]

If we beat them it probably doesn't even move us onto the bubble

Why don’t we do it anyways?

 

[uconngb]

If we beat them it probably doesn't even move us onto the bubble

Bubble? Did you say bubble? Jim Mora and Allen Iverson would like to have a word with you.

 

[AdamaNation]

Where would that rank on kenpom upsets? Since we run them off court and Jalen FINALLY lands that one handed ally oop we better be prepared.

 

[LIuconn]

How the mighty have stayed. We've fallen

 

[tentoes4rings]

They just shot 17-33 from 3 en route to a 30 point blowout of Georgetown.

What was the KenPom rating of the 1980 soviet hockey team, Mr. Sabermetrics? How soon we forget that the game is not played on paper. Since you're such a stats guy, try this one: UConn hasn't lost to Villanova in Hartford since January 24th, 2001. That was approximately 6,200 days ago. Bet you weren't even born yet. Assuming the trend continues of them beating us every 6,200 days, that gives them a .02% to beat us and that's after I rounded up. So go on and continue to make merry to your stats, I'll rely on the good old fashioned eye test. Something going to be different about January 20th, 2018 as compared to the thousands of days before it? I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Migs]

I was at 2004 in Philly at the Center I believe. That was a war. Needed overtime, Okafor blocked Foye's shot at the end of regulation to send it to overtime and he blocked another at the buzzer in OT for the win. 2006 at Gampel was another battle. Denham's and one dunk gave us the momentum for the win. I have a feeling we see something to remember on Saturday.

You are going to get an eye test for sure. And it's not likely to be pretty.

You are being sarcastic, right?

Maybe we need that little kid in the sports jacket give Herb’s speech to our team before the game.

Do this many people truly enjoy wallowing in self pity?

I was there. My seats were between the basket and half court.I saw that perfectly. That place was filled to the brim and going nuts. I used to go when our pups were in. I miss those days terribly. Okafor just stood his ground and raised his arms. That was it.If he swatted the ball it would of drawn a whistle.

I was there too - terrific game indeed. Rashad with that 3 pointer at end of regulation was clutch too.

Looks like the makings of a decent long term rivalry. Both teams have had ups and downs but generally long term sustained success.

We should keep this going. If not in conference (I'd welcome UConn to the Big East), then a permanent OOC arrangement.

 

[The Viking]

157th this morning. Ouch.

What, we’re in the top half

 

[Rico444]

157th this morning. Ouch.

We dropped 4 spots on a day we didn't even play? Man, we suck

Villanova beat UConn in Hartford on February 16, 2013. Idiot.

Perhaps his pom poms were blocking his view of the facts?

How the mighty have stayed. We've fallen

No, we were the mighty.
