If we play our cards right, we will meet UCONN twice more after this game.

This game is the least important of the three.

In fact, I don't mind losing the first two, if we can win the third...

Of course winning the 3rd from now (or 4th matchup of the season) would likely mean National Championship ...... and not like the UCF one, but instead a real one.

Oh, I know, honestly, just replied so I could add the dig at UCF.

Anytime you want to insult the kannigits, you got my permission!

So we win two games this week and we drop 2 spots to #20. 

We need a decent showing tonight to see if we can get better than a 6 seed.  Key to staying close is to not get blown out in the first 5 minutes of the game.  That seems to have been the case against UCONN in recent years.  Unfortunately, we seem to get off to slow starts more often than not.

I would like to see us keep it competitive for most of the game.

That is just BS.

No delusions of winning the National Championship, but the further we get in the tournament is further growth for the program.

We ended up winning pretty handily in both games.  Kinda weird that we would drop two spots.

26 to 50 at halftime.

Handily against low-level opponents isn’t impressive.

Would you prefer losing or just squeaking out wins against weaker opponents.  .  When you are supposed to beat teams by wide margins and you do it is just fine.  By your logic nothing UCONN does is impressive then.

No one said we are a top ten team by any means, but we have been a solid top 20 team.  Only way to keep the program moving forward is go deeper into the tournament.
