We're .500!!!!!!!

[Palatine]

Not above sea level yet. But at least we are even.

You"re on the wrong board.

 

[Stainmaster]

But we still lost to Wagner, right?

If we had beat then we are above sea level. Bit, we didn't.

No, Uconn is not above .500 for D1 ball. Chaminade win does not count.

I say that because getting to .500 is super important to get to the NIT, at least, so according to that Uconn is viewed as 11-12 now. Need to beat Memphis. and .500 ball, as a Uconn fan is nothing to celebrate IMO.

We broke into the Kenpom top 100 with this win too

We were 96 before the win. Now in the 80s.

Ah, my bad.

This thread is epic

We have reached the point of tread water=p!ss.

Water always finds its level.

Wagner = cement galosh on left foot.
Northeastern = cement galosh on right foot.

Remember when we sat on Everest every week?

Annoying how we'd win both games by double figures now even without Gilbert and Larrier. 14-10 with an RPI 20 places higher would feel a lot different

Who the cares? You've brought this up in several threads where nobody but you seems to care. The team would consider themselves 12-12 after how this season started getting to this mark (.500) is an accomplishment in itself. Also we are not getting an at large bid even if we win out. Chaminade only doesn't count in the eyes of the selection committee so at this point why bring it up repeatedly when it doesn't matter. It's just annoying.

This is Ken Pomeroy.

He looks exactly like I feel about UCONN being .500 right now, except for the ton of creepy.

So if we lost to Chaminade it wouldn't count as a loss ,or would it.
So that truly is a no win situation .

Regardless, any at-large bids are off the table this year, even NIT.

All we need is enough wins down the stretch to get us a 1st round bye in the AAC tourney. Then 3 in a row at the XL punches our ticket. Team is gelling at the right time so anything's possible.

We'd really be 13-10 (Chaminade doesn't count), with an RPI at 84. Not great. If they won those two games, and then won out into the AAC, they'd be 19-10 with an RPI of 33.

With losses to SMU and Cincy, they'd be 17-12, RPI 58. Outside shot.

But alas, you can't take those two terrible losses back.

I'd like to beat SMU or Cincy at home first. This team hasn't actually beaten a good team all year. Let's do it once, then we can talk.

Under normal conditions it isn't reason to celebrate as UConn fans
BUT in January/December - not many here could see .500
Have to see the cup somewhat partially filled - try it, you might like it

Agreed - would love to see that - I think SMU is a possibility IF UConn hits their 3's

For the first time since the injuries in the fall, I look at the teams on the schedule and think there's a chance they can win each game.

I don't think they'll win all of them because Cincy and SMU, especially, are really good. We'll need to play well on both sides of the court. But the 2-4 remaining match-ups with those 2 teams are on our floor, so it gives us a chance.

 

[BFieldHusky]

I also like that UCONN has played better on their home floor since December. I'm still convinced we beat Auburn if Adams doesn't get hurt, and the Houston game to me doesn't count. But they get their biggest tests in the next 3 weeks with Memphis, SMU and Cincy coming to town. We'll know more after that.
