I think we were cautiously underrated.  And still are.  We were so abominable the last two years, especially last year, that people wonder if it can be turned around so quickly.  What many of us know or should know, is just how bad Kevin Ollie was, especially last season.  He was probably good for minus 5-6 wins between poor in game decisions, irrational and shifting lineups plus an entire culture and style of play that was horrible.

There are people here harping on the talent, and no, it is not "peak UConn" talent beyond the two lead guards.  But it's better than what the rest of this league has top to bottom, and it's better than a lot of other teams out there. I'd argue its better than what Hurley had at URI last year when they were top 25 much of the year.  The legitimate question was [U]how quickly Hurley could get them to play as a team and break the bad habits of the last two years[/U].  So far, I'd say...pretty quickly.  Vital is lagging slightly on the offensive side perhaps.  But these guys love playing this way, you can see it.
