How Are We Ever Going To Beat UConn...

[4everwarriors]

when they've dumped MSU, Kentucky, and wasted UT in Austin?

[mileskishnish72]

We're not.

We unlikely won't...but remember, the AP writers didn't have them ranked coming into the season so they really aren't that good cuz the AP rankings are where it's at biotch

[tower912]

Score more points, face guard Walker, hope we are hot from 3.....same old.

Uconn is going down. We are playing well and expect a good rebound here

[wojosdojo]

I know last years USF team is nothing like this years UConn but last year when DJones faced us he was one of this hottest players in the league, possibly nation. If DJO(?) can stop Kemba we have a shot. Lets just hope it doesn't come down to this final seconds.

[ATL MU Warrior]

oh my gosh we have no chance!  Might as well not even show up.

I am oh so glad none of the whiny crybabies on this board have anything to do with our team.

MSU is unimpressive, Kentucky is nowhere near as good as their hype, and the Huskies didn't "waste" Texas.

I've seen UConn nearly 15 times. They've unimpressed as much as they've impressed. Like nearly all the 330+ teams in the country.

Who's to say they won't bring their 'D' game on Tuesday?

[wojosdojo]

Btw, just think how good this UConn team is without Walker. Compared to previous years, very soft.

[brewcity77]

They also lost to Notre Dame, a team we beat. If we can defend for 40 minutes, hassle the hell out of Walker, and win the free throw battle, we can beat them. Buzz is a great motivator, I hope he conveys to the team how big this game is. Come March, this could be the difference between NCAA and NIT.

Our team is solid. Ul was a fluke and nd... We will make up for it

a fluke??? Yeah, that was it.

[willie warrior]

How about paying off the refs?

[77ncaachamps]

UCONN's ours.

Put in the hitman Frozena at the start and have him punch Kemba in the eyes. Should put him outta the game.

[jeffreyweee]

Unfortunately Kemba is extremely clutch and the entire MU team isn't. Loss in the last 1:30.

[Lennys Tap]

We unlikely won't...

So it's unlikely we won't win. Glad you're on board and predicting a victory but that's sure an odd way of putting it

Beer driven double negative.  Having too much fun today with my wife and son who are Packer fans.

So let me rephrase, "likely won't win"

I like our chances.  Love when the fans have low expectation.

[tower912]

Who you callin a fan?     Sorry, too easy.

I don't have low expectations, I just trust what my eyes see.

[MarquetteDano]

Let's remember sans the Wisconsin game, we have been very good at home.  And the Wisconsin game is really a partial home game given the crowd.

I actually like our chances.  Let Walker get 25-30 points but don't let Oriakhi (sp?) get a lot of offensive boards and don't let the other guards hit open threes.  Given how UConn likes to bat the ball around on the offensive boards, I would like to see Fulce get 15-20 minutes this game.  Also, UConn is prone to giving up transitions baskets so I think Blue should get decent minutes too.

I actually like our chances.  Of the tough stretch coming up, this is the game we have the best chance to win.

Bingo especially on Walker...he is going to get his points but you can wear him out.  With him it is 12 round match not a sprint.  Try to limit the others and most of all, tire him out.  End to end Walker.

Because this year's UConn team is not as good as the one that came to the BC as #2 when Novak dropped 41 and we blew them out in our Big East debut.

Because this year's UConn team is not as good as the one that came to the BC as #2 when DJ broke his foot and Acker put in 33 minutes with no TOs and no missed shots and we led with 7 minutes to go only to fall apart at the end.

Because this year's UConn team is not that much better than last year's team that we beat on a last second fadeaway by JFB in Hartford.

I think we have a huge opportunity here.

But that team had a really bad coach at the helm
