Who do you fear?

[Magic32]

Lots of good teams out there but none I fear. Feel like it will take not only a good game from another team but we would have to be off our game because if we are on I don't see us being beat.

We would need everyone to not be able to shoot, but let’s not get overconfident. Let’s save the brash talk for after.

 

[nomar]

Fatigue and self-doubt. This team can beat anyone.

Injuries and bad luck—like when Creighton played like 5 Steph Currys.

 

[Ricker]

Kentucky's A+ game could beat us, when Shepard and the guards are hitting 3's and their bigs are defending the rim. They were scary good vs NC and a couple other teams, but then have other pedestrian games. I'd rather not take the chance that we catch them on an A+ night. Our 'A' game beats everybody else's best game.

 

[Orc]

Kentucky. I know they don't defend but they have scorers on their team.

 

[ColchVEGAS]

The only thing I fear is a team getting red hot, a la Creighton at home, and shooting 50+% from 3 and 60% from the field. You need to be that perfect to beat this team.

 

[GoConn]

we are the BEST team in the country. I fear no one.

 

[willie99]

Nobody

Everyone fears us (more)

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

The teams we have already played obviously have a better game plan and "adjustments" in mind than playing completely new teams. I'd prefer to avoid UNC or Kansas if possible for that reason.

 

[jibsey]

Getting ”out of the BE opponents” has got to be beneficial. Also hoping getting away from BE refs might not hurt.

Nobody

Everyone fears us (more)

As Walter White said, “I am the one who knocks”.

 

[Dove]

Admittedly I haven’t watched Houston, Tennessee, some others. Who might we have trouble with?

The only fear is of ourselves. Everyone else fears UConn.

Injuries

 

[UCFan1513]

I dont like games against the Power conferences in the early rounds. We could easily see UConn vs Duke in the Sweet 16 for example.

Good thing the ACC isn’t a power conference

[CONN78SEJ]

Those guys with the black and white stripes.

Those guys hate us. If things continue, Hurley’s gonna have more T’s than Geno. They allowed Marquette to get away with a lot yesterday. Grabbing, pulling, pushing, Shaka had a green light almost all game.

 

[ec33]

but why should zona get the 2 in the west?? that's a disadvantage to the 1 seed in the west and to whichever 2 seed gets stuck with us. tenn and ISU are both better and more deserving than zona and would prefer to be sent out west than matched with us (and so would I)

Zona is the weakest 2 and should be playing the top 1 seed.

Odds are UConn is going to get the strongest 2 for geographical reasons.

So it is a disadvantage for UConn to keep them out west.

[SwingDog]

Respect for all. Fear of none.

 

[UCLJ0211]

assuming we're 1 overall ISU shouldnt be paired w/ us as the weakest 2 seed. they just crushed houston by 30. zona is easily the weakest 2 (other than marqutte) and they should not get rewarded w/ being placed in the west with unc.

FWIW ESPN has Iowa State as the 2 seed in the East.

Men's Bracketology: The numbers show it, Kansas is the best program in modern college basketball

Twenty-one years of history says Kansas' preseason No. 1 ranking -- and top overall seed designation -- should be a net positive for the Jayhawks.

Poor foul shooting
Foolish fouls
+
An opponent who is hot from 3 AND has a big man who can play away from the basket

That's what would scare me

 

[uconngb]

Arizona in Phoenix.

Sign me up for that immediately

 

[alexd]

Aliens. And their medical experiments.

 

[BlueHen]

I think UConn is the best team and they can beat anyone they face. I don't anyone could beat UConn in a best of 7.

The only thing I 'fear' is a hot shooting team from 3-point range. Can't really worry about that though, UConn just has to play well.

Fear itself?
