We are a bubble team.

[Hi-Low]

Not yet but we're trying hard to bubble it...let's talk in 2 weeks.

We’re 100% a bubble team.

We’ve lost five of six and got our doors blown off at home by St. John’s. No good wins on the road, double-digit losses stacking up….these are bad things.

Given that we can’t add a point guard or Jim Calhoun mid-season to fix some on court and off court deficiencies, we’re probably looking at something like a 9-11/10-10/11-9 conference record in a conference that isn’t that well-regarded this year.

Get real. We are #7 net ranking and #6 on Kenpom.
they do have to start playing better to get a better seed.

We went from # 2 in the country and in everybody’s talk of bring a strong NC contender to # 6 in the BE in a blink of an eye. We will be fortunate to end up top 5 in conference. That being said the computers still love us. We are not a bubble team - yet.

Fortunate to be BE top 5? A life premature. There are still a lot of games left to be played.

3-6 since Christmas, hopefully February will go better than January. We are not trending well.

 

[Dean Wormer]

No. No we're not. Not yet anyway.

We're a bubble team, LMFAO

How is the BE not well regarded this year???

Because the committee is not BE groupies. They are P5 groupies.

We are not a bubble team! But we are playing our way there.

 

[Huskydog45]

Totally agree…..a bubble team with still a top 10
Net ranking…..not acknowledging our quad 1 wins and not considering we likely have the most favorable schedule the rest of the way with our toughest 2 games remaining at home…..and having played the top team twice already. Just that we are number 6th in the Big East and we are a bubble team…..LMFAO too at another crazy negative post

See I don't think we are a bubble team for now. But if we're not watching the trend then I guess you can be confident they won't be. But if they don't win both DePaul and GTown, you better start getting concerned!

1. Fix the problems
2. Win games
3. Rankings and bubble problem solved
4.UConn fans less crabby

We’ll make the tourney but I think we lose in the first round to a lower seeded team. Team wilts under pressure too many times

 

[ARIDE]

We are now 4-5 in the Big East. I would not be shocked if this team finishes 9-11 in the league.

I now struggle to see us beating Providence, Marquette, or Xavier at home, and I think Creighton away is going to be tough. St. John's on the road will be an issue as they smoked us. Also wouldn't be shocked at this point if Seton Hall sweeps us or we drop one to DePaul.

We looked good in this game for about 10 minutes and then fell apart. I'm not sure what's happening, but Butler is a massive game on Sunday because it is followed by Xavier and then a week break. Need to get momentum going.

Find something better to so with yourself

We have two trending problems. I thought our lack of a point guard was a huge issue going into the season. With the recent play of Newton and Jackson at times we can get by there. Joe C has evaporated which has put pressure on everyone else. We had a microwave scorer up till Georgetown but that is gone. The biggest problem is not being strong enough at the 4. Karaban has been logging the most minutes on the team and makes a number of plays but we are not getting the production the top of the Big East is at that position. Coby Jones could not be stopped on Wednesday night. Ighodaro and Joplin on Marquette, Ndefo on Seton hall, Hopkins on Providence. We lack strong forwards that can get points inside the 3 point line. Hopefully Samson can get up to speed and help out here. Hurley brought in 4 guards and we are only getting scoring from Tristen. We needed another 3 or 4 but no dice and we are paying for it.

At this point in time, we're not a bubble, not even remotely a bubble team, we're a 4 to 6 seed.

If we win, we'll stay there. If we lose, yes our status will change
