Message: [QUOTE="Yankees32123, post: 3906333, member: 5097"] Like most of you, I’ve been “hair on fire” since the game ended. I’ve now come down to earth, and I feel strongly that the program is heading in the right direction and that we are going to be fine. Great teams and great programs lose early in this tournament all the time. Since 1976, UConn has advanced to at least the 2nd round in 20 of its 23 NCAA tournament appearances. Our fanbase is just not used to these jarring, first-round exits. The program is trending decidedly upward. We have three great recruits coming in, and even though they played like poo tonight, a nucleus of returning players that we know are capable of playing at a high level (Cole, Martin, Sanogo, Jackson, Gaffney and Akok). The team played like garbage tonight, and Hurley, the staff and the players have to reflect and get better. But we’re a program that is undoubtedly trending in the right direction. We’re going to be fine. [/QUOTE]
