Hurley: UConn done with multi-team events after going winless in Maui
UConn head coach Dan Hurley says his team will never compete in a three-game multiple-team event (MTE) again after going 0-3 at the Maui Invitational and finishing in last place."I'm not doing another three-game MTE again," Hurley told the Hartford Courant's Joe Arruda. "Moving forward, we will...

More intense?
What do you guys think our "floor" is in conference play to make the tournament?
I feel a little bit uneasy saying this, but I think *the floor* is something like this:
Seton Hall: 2-0
Providence: 2-0
DePaul: 2-0
Georgetown: 2-0
Villanova: 1-1
Xavier 1-1
Butler: 1-1
Creighton: 1-1
UConn: 1-1
Marquette: 1-1
___
14-6

I feel pretty comfortable 9-2 and 13-7 gets us in. Don't see Big East getting less than 4 in.
I'm not sure. I think Marquette is a lock and UConn deserves benefit of the doubt to be seen as one also. STJ/X/Creighton can easily disappoint
I feel there is opportunity to achieve 14-6 and position us for a decent seed in Dance. Getting in is nice to some, but I really think this team affords us a chance to be Sweet 16 level. One can’t assume next year’s group will be better. Seize the opportunity, be rewarded and program could be on ever elusive track of sustainable success. If not, I will become part owner of a pickle ball franchise down here.
More likely we go 2-0 vs Nova than Providence.
Other than that, I think this is reasonable (though of course we will lose a game somewhere we should win and maybe win a game we should lose).
OTOH I am not ruling out "the wheels come off the cart completely" as a possibility. Not a probability, but not impossible.
The numbers may go up for some of these teams by accident this week, simply by playing the challange with the Big 12.

That's crazy, not at all deserved after going 0-3 in Maui. Let them make it up by winning against at least one half-decent team.
The “benefit of the doubt metric” is alive and well & should not mean squat.
