UCONN goes down again…

[TNnative]

Does a UConn loss deserve its own thread anymore? Not that unusual and more to come. IMO gives them more credit than they're currently due to make such a production of it. It will sure be interesting to see how they respond. They looked totally shellshocked today, from Geno right down to the managers.

Probably not. But some feel Geno going downhill is worth celebrating. He is a snarky jerk, and though I would prefer we spend our keystrokes building up the Lady Vols, rather than tearing down UConn? I do find it amusing for some reason.

NET Rankings Uconn's Next Ten Opponents:

100. Seton Hall

142. St. John's

1. South Carolina

166. Providence

34. Creighton

315. Butler

6. Tennessee

114. Villanova

44. DePaul

67. Marquette

The only one I am interested in is the seventh one. Make it happen, Kellie. Take it to em Ladies. I hope this turns out to be the most dominate showing the Lady Vols have ever made. Play like champions.

And watch them still beat Tennessee...

This abominable scenario could happen if Key is unable to play and Bueckers is able to play.

UConn roster - Starters #1 recruit Bueckers - out
#1 recruit Williams - out
Bench #1 recruit Fudd - out
2019 McD/WBCA AA Griffin - out

That's almost 50 points of production out with injuries/Covid. We will see how they do by the end of Feb.

But they found half of those missing points when bench warmer Ducharme was pressed into action.

How did you come up with numbers for Fudd?

Why even mention Griffin. She has not played the whole year and will not play this season.

Dirth trying to save his season.

Wow, the Hail Mary play already!!!

UConn will still be there in March if they get everyone back.

Props to Ducharme and ONO for stepping up the way they did. ONO especially is someone I've ragged on for being overrated so this was an important showing from her, shuts the haters up a bit.

With that said, it almost seems like these two players have taken it upon themselves to salvage this team, rather than the coach? Did Geno basically mentally check out when Paige got injured??

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I bet Kellie thanks the basketball gods that Ms. Westbrook took her talents up north.

Speaking of...how is she doing at Connecticut?
I’ve already forgot that she was even there.
GBO!!

Some people are acting like UCONN is playing walk-ons. Yes, the main top ranked recruits are out and that hurts, but the ones left are way higher ranked than most team's rosters. They will be back to make a run in March but it will be a harder road than they are used to having.

Last year, at least one article referred to the team having to get Auriemma out of his "despondency." What the hey?

Touching on your post in the other thread, young people needing to console an adult who is in a leadership and guidance position is toxic and pathetic, at least to my eye.

Another loss to a non ranked team smh Darth? What’s going on with yall

Ya'll gon make me act da fool
Up in heah, up in heah
Ya'll gon make me lose my cool
Up in heah, up in heah

Well, this latest CONN streak of Top 10 appearances didn't last long.

Surely y’all don’t think beating a weak husky team is worth anything…

Fudd played off the bench in 4 games. She averaged 7.5 ppg. She was UConn's only reliable outside shooter.

She’s serviceable

Reportedly, she makes a mean plate of pasta.

It also keeps them in the "limelight" of women's basketball. Although a dim light, it still keeps them on youngster's minds. Let the sleeping dog lie, maybe they will go away for a while.

Haaaaaaaaa

Now y’all admit to being weak when your afraid we’re going to stomp u ?

I most definitely do. Especially on their court. No one except the losing fans will care about the asterisks in the long run.

if it's on the schedule. What are we supposed to do? Lose?!! lol

A team with only one top ten recruit blitzing a bunch of high school AA's on their home floor? No, can't see that as being worth anything.

Ok Ucant fan when March comes we see u
