I thought the Xavier loss was the worst loss of all of them. Kid hits a 35 ft 3 who's a bad, bad perimeter shooter. Wichita second because i think if we convert the first bucket at the start of the first ot we win the game. Two point blank looks and can't finish. We had all the momentum. St. Joe and IU, we should win those. Cincy at their place, not so much.

Calhoun broke out by landing back to back Connecticut Mr. Basketballs that happened to be NBA caliber talents, and then a 6'8 Israeli point forward showed up out of nowhere and catapulted UConn to the Top 10. Calhoun used that season to land the first nationally ranked class, and then proved to recruits that they should play for him by putting players in the League.
Hurley is going to have to grind it out. I like Bouk and Akok, but this 1 or 2 and done talk is ridiculous. Maybe, if everything breaks right, one of them leaves after their junior year.

1. Bouknight doesn’t do something stupid = a win St. Joes 10-6 -> 11-5
2. Xavier... lucky shot no good = a win and 11-5 -> 12-4.
Already a stronger resume, better record, quality neutral court win gets rid of a bad bad loss.
3. Wichita State, non AAC refs = a win and 12-4 -> 13-3.
Now our blemishes are the big road losses to Cinci and USF which were piss poor and you have to accept them. We caught Indiana on a bad night but we were also bad that night. A neutral court loss by 3 to a top 30 team isn’t a bad loss whatsoever.
I think everyone would be much happier with these 3 events occurring and we’d be looking like a a likely auto bid in our future despite two bad losses on the road.
Next season hopefully the minor flaws that will set us back are fixed because we went from not competing to competing but now we need to learn how to finish and win.
Can’t believe how close this team was to 13-3 / 14-2 they’ve competed so hard but they need a little more time.
