UConn 2020 Discussion - The Thread By AAC Fan Sam Elliott...

[kayako]

I like that teams like Tulane, Temple, and SMU are being mentioned in a thread created to trash a program that has won 2 national titles this past 9 years.

Billyjack let me just say you aren't the hero we deserve but the the hero we need right now. Haven't seen a posterized dunk like the one you just did to stever since Vince Carter over that French dude at the Olympics. Can we just start a AAC thread and leave it there for Stever to talk to himself? I want billyjack to be able to spend his time researching stats and information on... hmmm Big East teams rather than a bunch of random a** teams no one has ever cared about yet still somehow keep showing up on this BIG EAST board. What a concept: Big East talk on a Big East board. #VivaBJack

Lol, wow... thx! Go Friars!

UConn played a barnburner with the Shockers today. Fun game to watch.

[gtmoBlue]

Too bad. You're stuck with us.

Aw Bogg? Feel the "lub" we've got for da Huskies, feel da lub, bro!

It’s not trashing UConn to say they aren’t the same team without Jim Calhoun picking the groceries.

The germane version of UConn is looking up in the standings to those teams you mentioned.

UCONN was picked to finish 6th in the AAC this year, which (in the AAC) means they're a fringe NIT team at best. Makes sense considering the majority of the roster is still Ollie leftovers.

So far they have played Cincy (picked 3rd), Wichita (picked 4th), USF (picked 5th), and Tulane (picked 12th). At 1-3, the results are exactly as projected thus far.

Tonight on ESPNU:

ESPN Gamecast: UConn Huskies 10-7 (1-3 Conf.) @ #25 Houston Cougars 14-4 (4-1 Conf.)

Game Preview: Houston takes No. 25 ranking into tilt with UConn

Houston's upset victory at then-No. 16 Wichita State, forcing the Shockers to miss 18 straight shots in one 13-minute stretch, has placed the Cougars (14-4, 4-1 American Athletic Conference) into the rankings for the first time since the final poll last season.

Houston has won 12 of its last 14 games and is tied with Tulsa for first in the AAC.

UConn visits Houston on Thursday after losing in a nonconference game at No. 9 Villanova on Saturday. UConn showed improvement in its 61-55 loss at Villanova after losing by 23 points to the Wildcats last year and by 20 the year before.

UConn just lost at home to Tulsa and sits last in the AAC. Woof. UConn is pretty terrible. The players morale has to be sub zero.

[Jet915]

Yeah, I watched that game waiting for Creighton. UCONN can't finish a game all year. Get close but don't have a closer. They have some nice recruits for next year but not sure it's enough to compete in the top half of the Big East IMO.
