What is the ceiling?

[Greg]

I think second most talented CT squad ever. I would take the Rudy. Gay squad which was upset in the tournament as most talented ever. Hard to name four better this year, I have not seen a better club.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Ceiling? A championship.

That would be the ceiling for any top-eight team.

The ceiling is the roof

Passed all tests but too early to say what ceiling is. Success in NCAA often comes down to good luck, draw, many factors not just talent. Haven’t we seen great great teams bounced? We have the pieces to make a run if health prevails.

It was falling down for years but I think they fixed it.

2006 & 2009 were super talented. So was 2004.
Still got a ways to go, but this teams ceiling is definitely the roof.

Still think 2004 is the most talented team. I mean that team had like 5 lottery picks on it including the #2 and #3 pick in the draft.

At this point this team would not rank as a top 5 Uconn team imho. Im guessing you are young and werent around to see some of the 90s early 2000s teams.

Insulated white triangles at Gampel. Not sure about Hartford.

They have work to do. But, they are so talented and deep they can fall into a sense of not needing to work hard to get better.

[Kolumbo]

Too low for Jackson

It’s obscured by all the banners.

I dont think this team has that issue. I think the issue is they can light teams up and do so easily that once they get out to big leads they start doing a little too much one on one and forget to move the ball and it leads to poor play. I think of this team and can you imagine what Bazz/Boat would do to Newton/Hawkins? Both of those guys have shown they arent the best ball handlers and can make some poor passes and would get eaten alive like the Harrison twins did who were also bigger guards that got manhandled by our beloved backcourt duo.

I think we are saying the same thing. The weakness is ball handling but it doesn’t make a big difference and they can more than compensate. They also get undisciplined when they get up big and that’s when bad habits can form. If they come up against elite guards with great defensive quickness they may have more issues, but the truth is they are just really, really loaded so if you focus on denying the post, they can kill you outside, and if you defend the 3, they can kill you inside. You can try and pressure up the floor and shorten the clock and disrupt flow but that’s tough to sustain over a game.

Somewhere higher than the arc on Jackson's three point shot.

The ceiling would be good games from 7-8 guys, not 3-4.

I was actually thinking that exact thought as I gazed upward last night. They sure looked ugly there for a couple of years.

 

[Captbluefin]

We will know the ceiling for this team when they loose a game and how the react to it..

We'll also probably see the BY's basement at the same time.

Oh we see that almost daily.

We’re losing more than one game. Sorry I had to be the one to break this news.

Yes they will loose more than one.

How did you come up with the statement meaning they were going to only loose one? Or you just trying to be cool ?

Why don’t you read it again and comprehend.
The point was when they loose a game how they bounce back.

I hope so. No team has won the national championship with 1 or 0 losses since Indiana in 1976.
