Where Is Our Quality Win?

[jibsey]

FSU? Eh... 26 games so far. No luck huh? OK then how bout this, where is our quality loss? SU is our only remaining chance for a regular season high quality win. This Marquette loss was just brutal and It really got to me for the reasons we all know.

 

[champs99and04]

FSU, Notre Dame, West Virginia, and Harvard were all quality wins. Seton Hall was also in the top 50 RPI I believe. Not exactly MSU, Kentucky, Texas, and all the other teams we beat last year, but enough to get into the tournament if we can beat Syracuse.

Just looking for a high quality win or loss ( should have used that word high) I guess.

South Florida's not looking so bad

Cuse this Saturday

 

[Dann]

were 16-10 (6-8)
rpi-26
sos- 1 or 2 depending on where u look

-our full team has played what 3 games together? between boat sups's, jc's health, scoe out 1 or 2 lately for health, among others guys like olander/gif getting a game off for resting. i'm not making excuse for this teams night and day play, just saying.
-3-7 in our last 10
-1-4 vs rpi top 25
-5-6 vs rpi top 50 (thats about right were are 25-50 top team this year the way we play.
-3-2 vs rpi 50-100 and 8-2 vs rpi100+. at tenn/at ruty are our 2 worst L's. at tenn was the better half of the season for tenn with there stud frosh. at ruty was our "bad" game if u want to find one loss to fit that.
-8 of our 10 L's are vs top 80 teams.
-last 4 games are @nova, cuse, @prov, pitt. if we win 3 of 4 with a cuse loss i think a 1st game win in msg and were still in. if we win 3 of 4 with a cuse win then were in. 2-2 with a cuse win and were looking at a msg win to seal it. 2-2 without a cuse win and we need to win a couple games at msg. i think 19 wins(with a cuse win) gets us in no matter what or 20 wins(with a cuse loss) gets us in. bubble is weak and even though we seem a mess we have alot of good resume wise.

unless we have a complete diaster to end the season and a 1st game exit in msg, i think were going to be ok. winning with this team in the ncaat is another story. we may be looking at a toss up 1st round game or even beeing a underdog. not sure if we have the team to make a run in march but i think were invited unless a epic last 2 weeks smacks us in the mouth.

You were looking to bitch and moan.

Someone answered your question, so you had to change it.

We get it.

We don't have any quality wins and everyone on this board knows it. This team couldn't rally after Ray Allen drove his ass down to Storrs to give them a pep talk. What a disgrace.

I know the mods on this board will probably either delete the post or make some BS comment about how these are just kids blah blah blah. Give me a break, this team is a complete disgrace to everything Calhoun stands for.

if you dont think FSU on a neutral court and @ND are quality wins then i dont know what to tell you and we have the same amount of quality wins as about 340 schools. both those teams will be sitting right outside the top 15 on monday. we are the only team to win in south bend this year. they gave cuse their only loss the entire year and smacked marquette around in that building. florida state gave unc their worst loss in like 30 years and won in cameron.

 

[willie99]

RPI 26
SOS 1
5-6 vs Top 50 RPI

below expectations? yes
disappointing? yes
but this is just not the argument to make against the Huskies

3-1 finish, 19-11 & 9-9 and the team is a lock

FSU, @ ND, WVU, Harvard and even S Hall are quality wins to the NCAA selection committee

those teams are all at large selections

You win. Our players should just kill themselves.

, what do you think you're accomplishing? You are in no way furthering a discussion.

 

[baldinghusky]

No, but I'm sure it made him feel better, and that's what really counts.

It's a forum, I was voicing my drunken opinion... does not mean what I said isn't true though.

They have quality wins. Everyone pointed them out. They have 16 wins against the #1 SOS.

Also, they aren't disgraces. The end on that. Disappointing some entitled fans (and I include myself in being disappointed) doesn't make them disgraces.

I feel like when you play passionless basketball that could be considered a disgrace.

I feel like much of what looks like passionate ball is confusion on offense and teams taking advantage of defensive mistakes.

People said the same thing about the 2000-01 Huskies. I don't think they suddenly learned to try. Same with the 2006-07 team (save Dyson). The next year they were a 4 seed.

They got on the ground some against Marquette. They frequently do. But its easier, when a talented, but young and inexperienced team, loses, to blame effort rather admit that, at this point, they just aren't that good.

Very good point. I tend to forget these guys are only freshman and sophomores. The #4 pre season ranking hasn't really helped either.

 

[jibsey]

What's frustrating is the way we have lost so many games in a noncompetive way, and with the talent that we have. If you take these teams to the wire and maybe lose by 7 points with fouling it's one thing, but that has not happened. We need to beat SU but more importantly we need to show that we belong on the same floor.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

It is very simple really. If we can beat CUSE, we are in the NCAA tournament.

 

[mcs333]

We are 6-6 against top 50 RPI. Only 7 schools have more top 50 wins than Uconn. What we need is a top 15 win, Cuse or in BE tournament.

 

[HuskyBballFan]

It is very simple really. If we can beat CUSE, we are in the NCAA tournament.

And if we don't beat Cuse, we still get in if we win the other 3.
