We Have a Game Tonight

[Kitaman]

I'm watching of course. Yes I'm a UConn fan but also a fan of mysteries, and we've got a great mini-series going on right now.

Well.... in the Big East, they have Tuesday and Wednesday 8:30 PM and 9 PM games. All conferences have late games now including ACC and Big 10.

It's the day more than the time. For a long time Mon-Wed, Saturday were the big college hoops days. Big Monday, Super Tuesday, the ESPN Wed games (forget what dumb name they gave it), and then a Saturday full of Top 25 action. Especially as a big NBA fan, Thursdays have long been about the TNT doubleheader. Thursday games are such an afterthought in the college hoops world, and late ones are just a punch in the nuts.

Sounds like the makings of an upset.

With our limited and reduced roster, we can only expect so much against Houston. I predict a loss, but hope we can hang within 15. I also hope DH manages the substitutions more wisely than he did against Villanova.

9pm on Thursday night at the Frittata center? This is a cant miss

 

[AdamaNation]

41 point loss last year. Regardless of outcome, I just want to see how we respond

I remember the reference to hiring Hurley stating “no more 20 point blowouts”

That was last year, how many times have we gotten blown out this year? The progress is there and if you can't notice it you're blind.

9 PM tip-off, I'll be lucky if I stay awake past half time

What are u, 90? Tmrws Friday. Weeks almost over. Not like game is tipping off at 10:30 and ending at 1am. Do u go to bed when the sun sets and wake up when the rooster crows like u own a farm back in the 1800s? Cmon now. We only play like once a week as it is.lol I ’m just messing with you my
Man. This team gets me so aggravated I couldn’t fall sleep if I wanted to during the game. Lol

 

[FatHank]

Holy moly. I've been so busy and catching Sunday and Tulsa bits here that I thought our next game is Sunday. Now I have something to look forward to when I get home from work tonight. U-COONNNN!

 

[SwingDog]

We lost by 39 points to Houston to end the season last year. That has to factor in as extra incentive tonight. We are competitive (aside from a couple of lousy games to Cincinnati and USF, now long past), and most of us here believe the Huskies are capable of winning tonight. What I'm looking to see from the opening tip tonight is that THEY believe they can win. Go get 'em, Huskies!

they giving away pillowcases at this one?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I'll throw you a like for the mixed metaphor.

Pound that page,
Turn that door!

And there’s crickets on here. This year isn’t over yet. We can steal a W!

I was literally just thinking this. The crickets part.

 

[XLCenterFan]

I'm watching for sure but my swag is so low right now. Maybe Houston is feeling a bit too high right now and is ripe to be smacked back into reality.

 

[RayRay]

I have a strong feeling, especially after listening to the coaches show podcast, that we are going to see Charleston Bouk tonight. Hurley has been in his ear to be more aggressive, but smart aggressive. I think we will see him moving better without the ball to get open, looking for his 3 pt shot more, and that will give him confidence to make some strong assertive drives with a plan.

 

[Leebo]

We know this team is physically capable of leading late against better teams on the road, so it's hard to say a win would be shocking, but until they actually win one I'll find it hard to not be waiting for the momentum to flip when they have a lead.

One of those late week night games that you get juiced for... but not too juiced... because you know it’s likely another depressing and embarrassing AAC loss
