The decline of Uconn has been greatly exaggerated.

By some, not all. Still a tournament team, just not second weekend material.
MR, agree with you that UCONN is still a very good team that will only get better as the season goes on (like us). The one weak point I see is point guard, but they will vie with us and Marquette for Big East crown imho.
I just switched to the game at halftime of the Bills and Rams game (I didn’t realize it was even on). They were coming out of a timeout and had a close up of the Texas coach and I started thinking that guy looks like one of the guys from Breaking Bad in the Pop Chips commercial.

Agreed but they are still not winning a 3rd National Championship in a row. There are reasons why that hasn’t been done in over five decades.

And the first of those 2 National Championships saw them finish 5th in the BIG EAST. That they can accomplish again.
Tom,
Not sure why you feel obliged to keep bringing that up.The fact is UCONN won both those national championships in dominant fashion. Credit where credit is due is always a good thing.
We keep telling you they finished tied for fourth and had the tiebreaker.
They also were at top ten team going into the Tourny.

Tied for 5th sounds worse. I'm sticking with it. How's this? They finished with the same conference record as Providence?
UConn will be fine, just not in same league as last year’s team with three super guards getting paid to play now and Clingan. I notice the current team shares the ball well and has very good talent, I agree w NC J that they don’t have the dominant PG they are used to. Diarra played well today though.

How many BIG EAST teams were in that top ten?
I really wasnt enthused when UCONN beat Baylor after our tough loss to them. Happy they got this win at Texas. Not sure how good Texas is but they play in the SEC which should help their NET. Marquette and UCONN are teams we need to beat.
When you win the NCAA Tournament, it doesn’t mean a damn thing what place you finished in.
No truer words were ever written.
Thank you Ken.

It does to their fans,
I like Coleman as a rising sophomore.
Also let’s see what Middleton and Dual look like in a month.
Just knock on wood every time all you think we cake walk them in Newark. That game may be their Super Bowl with the Richmond situation and Newark is an absolute house of horrors for us.
