Not in the Cards -- Bubble Starting to Burst


Huskies fall behind early and can't come all the way back against Louisville, a recurring theme for the 09-10' Huskies. Uconn's tourney resume looked to be on solid footing after knocking off then #1 Texas in Storrs 3 games ago. Losses to Providence, Marquette and Louisville have left the Huskies at 3-6 in the league with nine games to play.


Connecticut will have to at least 9-9 in the league and likely win one of their tougher road games to feel any sort of safety going into New York and then to Selection Sunday.

  • 2/06 DEPAUL 
  • 2/10 @ SYRACUSE 
  • 2/13 CINCINNATI 
  • 2/15 @ VILLANOVA 
  • 2/20 @ RUTGERS 
  • 2/22 WEST VIRGINIA 
  • 2/28 LOUISVILLE 
  • 3/03 @ NOTRE DAME 
  • 3/06 @ SOUTH FLORIDA 
MUSTS: DePaul, Cincinnati, @ Rutgers, @ South Florida
STEAL ONE OF THREE: @ Syracuse, @ Villanova, West Virginia
TAKE ONE OF TWO: Louisville, @ Notre Dame

Uconn's overall RPI and number # 1 SOS nationally will all help IF this team can turn it around. They team will also likely need to win a game in New York at the BET (I could see them playing in the #8 v #9 game in the 2nd round), losing to a number one seed in the quarters will not be a black eye. The season is not dead yet, but its heading in that direction. I would expect to see Jim Calhoun back on the sidelines a week from tomorrow at the Carrier Dome, if they can't get up for that, then they have some problems.
