Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 2462890, member: 7597"] [SIZE=5]I have been [U][B]very critical of ESPN[/B][/U] as some have likely seen lately. I do not think they should just totally ignore a once proud program. Usually when teams with strong histories struggle, they still cover them at least here and there. All I truly ask of ESPN is that they cover Uconn, from time to time, with the truth. They did cover Uconn in this recent article, with the truth. I have no gripes. I have no issue with what they say here. The point is they are not pretending like they do not exist, which was my biggest issue the past 18 months. Folks, discuss away! [B][URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/41/connecticut-huskies']UConn[/URL] will be irrelevant nationally for another season[/B][/SIZE] [B]What we thought:[/B] This Huskies team would be better now that [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/3138209/terry-larrier']Terry Larrier[/URL]and [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4066441/alterique-gilbert']Alterique Gilbert[/URL] are back after missing most of last season. Gilbert is hurt again, but Kevin Ollie's team struggled even with everyone at full strength, losing 102-67 to Arkansas in its final game of the PK80 in Portland and falling to Syracuse at Madison Square Garden. [B]What we know:[/B] This UConn team isn't really any different than last year's squad. Right now, without Gilbert, it's a two-man team for the most part: [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/3934622/jalen-adams']Jalen Adams[/URL] and Larrier. The front line is abysmal for a program of UConn's standards. [B]What happens next:[/B] UConn likely does what it has done the past few years and finishes somewhere around fifth in the American Athletic Conference. [/QUOTE]
