They were never going undefeated. A few losses, especially on the road vs a very good team and a very hungry program, not a bad thing

It's December

I'd be crying if this was March (but then it wouldn't have been a road game)

The top teams in the Big East are all unbeaten at home in league play

I'm sure it's the same in all the best conferences

The crowd, the lack of fear for a conference opponent, and the free throw disparities are hard to overcome

Huskies a little too aggressive at times , which isn't going to work on the road if the refs plan on blowing the whistle, which is exactly what happened last night.... Shooting is off the last couple of games.

Providence is 3-0 on the road in 5 BE games. That’s the reason they are at the top right now.
Losing Jackson to foul trouble early on killed UConn last night. They are a different team with him on the floor. Croswell did a great job on Sanogo too. I’m sure UConn will get their revenge at Storrs next month.

PC is a good team. But they haven't beaten a good conference team on the road. Because all the best conference teams are unbeaten at home in conference games

That's the point I was making

The best conference road win would be a 2 point win by Marquette over a recovering Nova team, and Nova is on 6th place. The top 5 are unbeaten

While I don't expect them to remain unbeaten, I do expect that trend to continue

On the flip side , when Uconn stinks it up in the conference, they've won championships recently.

They've undid all the optimism I had. So many issues right now. No toughness, poor rebounding, can be pressed and pushed around... fundamentally soft

Something has to change, significantly

I think Uconn is the best team in the country.
early eye test told me this could happen..

props are coming in left and right

laying only two pts to the Zags is a gift. Timme will have plenty of problems with UConn's big guys

Did you know?

UConn away from Big East officiating

14-0, all double digit wins, including

In Oregon
Iowa St
Alabama
@ Florida
Hosting Oklahoma St
Iona
St Mary's
Arkansas

The conference officiating let us get mauled as we lost the free throw disparity. Lose lose

They're looking good, tough game vs the Zags today

UCONN is not the best team in the country

Let me know if you want a buyout my friend. I'm here for, I have empathy. Especially for Cuse fans

You need a shoulder to cry on?
