My feeling exactly.

Let's not forget after the Detroit game the common theme was that the sky was falling. Even after lackluster wins against Fordham and Texas PA most posters still thought we were a 4-5 win BE team at best!

UCONN has a legit frontcourt with Drummond and Oriahki, and our team has looked absolutely dreadful in the 2 games we've played outside NY. We're not "scaring" anyone just yet.

 I love what happened in Providence but it is just one game Will continue the positive vibes but need yo see more

 Yes, and we have not had this kind of offensive firepower in years (maybe since Barkley, Artest et al).

 

And we're only fielding half the average roster's worth of scholarship players, almost all of whom are freshmen. We're going to be scary in another year or so and beyond.

 

If the truth be known we're scary right now in more ways than one.

 

the scariest prospect to me right now is a whistle happy ref. It won't be long before better teams start attacking the basket hard to put us in serious foul trouble, which will be game, set, and match before halftime.
