At Houston was the toughest game left on our schedule. We aren't losing this game.

Dont under estimate the long trip. The next game is always the toughest. We have not played well lately

UCONN hasn't lost to a team other than SMU or Cincy in about 10 games-I think this is going to be our toughest win. Might as well prepare for a dog fight on the road

We won by 20 and Cincy won by 14.

Unless we lose a player to fouls or injury we win this game.

I'm glad we have a week to rest up for this one. I think it will be a good game- UConn is obviously uber talented and has been playing better as of late

UCONN is playing better, but I wouldn't say they are peaking. After losing to us thy beat ECU, USF and Tulane before losing to Cincy. Since the Cincy loss they have won against USF, UCF, Memphis and Temple. Lets see how they handle Houston this week before proclaiming them to be peaking.

UCONN also has a mid-week trip to play a pissed off UH team. KenPom predicts UH to win 68-59 (78% win probability). Line is 6.5

I won't be there, but they were very hostile during the the 2015 championship game.

Best moment was when the band and a few Mob members starting chanting "N-I-T! N-I-T!" Boy, the XL Center did NOT like that :lol:
