Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 4558976, member: 168"] A lot of the best UConn teams of the JC era had a January/early February swoon followed by a turnaround and a run in March. 2002 lost 3 of 4 to start the month and played some mediocre teams poorly before turning it on for a BET Championship and E8 run. 2003 when 4-5 with some bad losses and mediocre wins from 1/7-2/15, and ended up making a run to the BET Finals and the S16. 2004 lost 4 of the 6 games it lost all season from 1/17-1/15, a 5-4 stretch for a team that should have lost like 2 games all season at most. 2005 went 4-4 in January before turning it on and getting a 2-seed. That season ended poorly, with Rashad missing a lot of time from that staph infection, otherwise that could have been a good run. There are more, too, but the point is JC had the team peaking at the right time and working through mid-season struggles. This team looks to be following that model. Probably doesn't end in a title, but should at least not end before the second weekend. [/QUOTE]
