We Have A Top 10 Team

[jibsey]

We can go head to head at full strength, just gotta keep em on the court.

I forgot there was a game tonight (been taking care of my sick wife all day).

I’m hoping this is the game that sparks Hawkins. He’s been getting good looks and they just haven’t been falling. He needed a game like this to ge the confidence back up. Having him as a reliable outside threat would do wonders for this team down the stretch.

I hope your wife feels better…that’s all that matters

We are in almost exactly the same spot as we were in last year. We are even matching up similarly to similar teams. The only difference is we've been slightly less injury prone this year (knock on wood).

We pummeled gtown last year in a very similar way. Gtown sucks and they put forward a really lousy effort against us. Tonight means very little.

We have a much improved Adama Sanogo this year. If Martin, Polley, and Hawkins (and RJ) keep making outside shots we’ll be a very tough out.

This was a fun game to watch tonight but lets face it Gtown stinks and Ewing needs to go. That program should not be in the state it is in 5 years after he arrived. We play Depaul next which should be an easy win. Everything i need to know about this team ill find out in February. The schedule gets real. Lets hope there is no more covid crap messing with the schedule. Best thing that can happen to this team is for a month of uninterrupted basketball against quality competition. Itll only make us that much more dangerous in March.

 

[Bomber36]

Outside game could still improve, but we are back!

How dare you harsh my mellow…lol.

 

[Palatine]

We had 6 blocks tonight according to the ESPN box score.

Up to #16 KenPom with the win

We have not had post play like this in years. I almost forgot what good post players looked like. Adama is a game changer on both ends of the floor. The last time we had a big man that effects both ends of the floor was probably Thabeet.

And we are missing a solid ball handler in Bouknight. Maybe we are better, but it's close as of now.

He might work for Fox, but he bleeds blue.

Yep. Thank you!

There are still a few holes to fill, but the only opponent we can't beat is Covid.

We can beat that bastard as well..just have to be smart.

Pretty sure we already did

 

[Hi-Low]

I think Dan Hurley puts it best....every game no matter opponent we should either win or lose a close game. Does that make UConn top 10, we'll see.

To be a top 3 seed in Ncaa torney, which I assume is ultimate goal entering, need to beat BE teams tourney bound, so far just 1...plenty of those coming up though.

 

[HooperScooper]

Can only win the games you play…

Very true. But that doesn't mean you watch these wins and jump to the conclusion that the team is top 10.

I'm looking forward to seeing them play the upper teams in the Big East in February. I think those games will be more telling.

Auburn put in a pretty lackluster performance tonight against a sub-.500 Missouri squad (Kenpom 131). They were actually down with under 5 to play. Thankfully for us they pulled it off, but didn’t seem like the worldbeaters we are making them out to be.

Who cares, they won, on the road. They had a massive game Saturday, it was a natural let down spot. It is like you think unless you win by 20 a night you are average. Welcome to college basketball.

I’m withholding a comment until we play Villanova on the road.

They're the number 1 team in the country, and no one besides us has beaten them lmao

Road games can be unpredictable and super freshman Jabari had an off night 2-15. Ultimately UConn needs to take care of own business in February though

Hope she gets better quickly.

In situations like yours, only great husbands forget games. I feel ashamed knowing what I would have probably done.

If there are brownie points, I would be able to golf, fish, etc. anytime I wanted for at least 3 years if I did that. Of course she'd get sick of me constantly reminding her of my great sacrifice.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

i thought we were a top 10 team after the first 4 games too.
