UConn...

[dasher]

We are still talking about UConn? Do you guys realize that we play the best team from the state of Connecticut tomorrow?

Holy Cross is in Mass.

 

[Cuse House]

Hey guys, at least Hami is going there, right?:rolling:

When did Worcester move to CT?

I know someone was wondering this, so to answer your question, the last time SU went 0-2 to start the season was...




Wait for it...


















1968.

Impossible. According to UConn, basketball wasn't invented until 1985.

so on espnnews, the Yukon women almost losing to a ranked womens team is a bigger story than the Yukon men losing to Northeastern. LOL

 

[MattOB]

They'll probably end up with a losing record, go on a late conference tourney run to win that, and end up winning the whole thing as a 14 seed

 

[realorange]

Not sure they have many real fans left.

UMass Lowell beats Wagner 87-76

It may be a bigger story in Connecticut as well.

I like this one.
Season over?

Give me some more of that.

Boy, UConn looks hellbent on overtaking the joy I had watching Pitt lose 8 straight games in 2011-12.

 

[EastCoast2]

My question is: if they lost both games in front of a total of 17,096 fans (that's an average home attendance of 8,548), did it really happen?

As a point of reference, we got 23,844 against Colgate.

OK
Laughingstock Now, Irrelevant Later

Anyone want to get a condolences E-Card going? We can send it over to the boneyard and help them moarn the death of their program.

I'm in.with the picture of scotch tape on Ollie's face.

We lost to St. Johns last year and still made the final 4.

Yes but when you play in the ACC you can win games against Duke, ND, etc. and get those OOC wins against A&M to boost your resume. When you play in the AAC (who currently who has 1 ranked team, #24 Cincinnati), you don't have many chances to get resume building wins. Add that to the fact that IF they lose to Oklahoma State in Maui, it is very likely the only ranked teams they will play all year will be us and Cincinnati. When that's the case, you better win like 28 games (losing to Wagner and Northeastern doesn't help in this regard), or win your conference tourney. Now the AAC Tourney is in Hartford this year, but Ollie is certainly putting UConn in a tough spot.

TAKE IT BACK

 

[orangefog]

Wait are we playing Holy Cross High School, from Waterbury. Mark Konecky's old school?

Thought we were playing the college from Mass.

Oops, I always forget where those mid major schools are. If it wasn't in the name, I would forget where UConn is.

Temple loses to the University of New Hampshire

It doesn't matter this year. We're dancing this year.

Just Waiting for the Lame Excuses Thrown Out in the Postgame Presser

Best quote of the thread, when discussing Ollie's inability to address NE's zone:

"We may score 9 points total against Syracuse"

 

[NYCSUGrad]

They're down by 4 at the half. Is there anyone who has a whinier face than Kevin Ollie?

And gotta love SNY's 90's graphics.

You know the answer to your question.

Well, at least the answer that lazy college B-ball fans, including journalists, come up with all the time, as I alluded to earlier elsewhere.

Only because she seems to be guffawing and moving involuntarily to some really lousy Disney Channel 90s tween "comedy", All I can hear on the computer is the laugh track.

Or maybe the girl is quite sophisticated for her age and has something interesting tucked between her legs.

We lost to St. Johns last year and still made the final 4.

First year coach, barely coached at the college level and would never be hired if not for his name.

St Johns seems to have improved since the start of THIS season. Won their first game by 47 and the second by 16 tonight.
