Who can beat them?

[Bomber36]

So far Kansas and Seton Hall. They aren’t Demigods…just kids in Connecticut jerseys. That said, probably only themselves.

 

[Dove]

Ok I will try to do the anti mojo jinx. We’re not even good those teams will beat us by 25. DOOMED

 

[BGesus4]

Remember in December of last season when we could beat a g league team?

 

[prankster]

Seriously, how many teams in the country can beat this UConn team? Obviously anything can happen in the tournament. But they look like a lock for the BE title, BE tournament title and Final Four.

Here are the teams that can compete with uconn:
Purdue
Tennessee
Kansas.

Teams that make me nervous:
Marquette
Arizona.

Overrated:
Houston
Duke
Illinois.

I had a thread on our possible vulnerabilities in which I thought maybe it was Samson but geez he looked good today! Think about this: Today Spencer, Clingan and Newton didnt score a lot and we romped with other guys. Of course Newton had 9 assists.
So, if we’re healthy I’d rather be on us than anybody else in the country. Tougher part of schedule coming, but we’ll see soon.

It was GTOWN.

 

[brihman]

Rock fight with Houston if we can’t keep them off the glass would be tough.

 

[ScottCT]

Many teams on a great day when UConn is even a little bit off. ]

Many teams? This can't possibly be a serious statement.

 

[huskyharry]

Hardest part of regular season schedule is arriving soon. Both Marquette games, Creighton away, Providence away will all be very tough. We only beat Nova by 1 and Seton Hall beat us like a drum over the last 32 minutes of the game. No need for Hubris. We are doomed, DOOMED for sure!

 

[JesusAllen11]

Bad shooting nights and foul trouble can take down any team in basketball

 

[Iluvsuebird]

How do you beat us? What do you take away defensively ? How do you attack us? Aside from praying that one of our guys get hurt, how do you attack us?????

 

[jibsey]

Marquette still out there.

 

[shizzle787]

This calls for a hanging.

 

[msgordon]

Nobody is a lock for the final four

 

[Connhomer99]

New Mexico looking good with a few sons of former nba players on their roster. Might be the team we match up with in the championship game?? Another New Mexico team?? Fn doomed yo

 

[John]

In one game anything can happen

 

[Ripper32]

Kansas was the only team that actually dominated UCONN head to head for long periods, especially if Tristan didn't have an all world game. They are rangy and quick on getting ahead of screens & switching. The problem is that they are incredibly inconsistent and may not survive the first weekend.

As far as other teams that could give UCONN trouble, I'd say Iowa St (their defense is ridiculous and barely legal), St. Mary's (as we saw last year in the first half) , Arizona (they upgraded at guard and got stronger up front with Johnson), Purdue (Edey has a better supporting cast this year) and maybe even a wildcard offensive team like Nebraska.

 

[AntG168]

I took it as who can beat us on our A game. Obviously when can play a stinker and lose

 

[aceboon]

Should probably wait until they play the hardest part of the conf schedule to ring off a thread like this

 

[superjohn]

Marquette game next Saturday is gonna be huge. If we win that one I think we pretty much have the Big East regular season title locked up and the #1 seed in the East.

We are DOOMED we’re going to lose every game the rest of this season and you’re to blame

...And they lost at home tonight.

 

[AJR2626]

Kansas, Seton Hall, Marquette, Houston, Duke, Kentucky, Purdue, Arizona, Illinois, Iowa State. I don’t understand why not let it play out and enjoy the ride. Nobody thought we would lose to George Mason either. This over confidence is such a jinx.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Last time I saw this thread, we were coming out of last years unbeaten OOC and proceeded to drop 6 of 8.

 

[Travelman6]

There are 30 teams that, on any given night with their A game and Uconn C game or worse, beat this team. In fact for an additional 5 to 10 its probably closer to a coin flip. (Example: @Marquette)

The consensus it seems is that an opponent would have to do two or three things to beat us while the we would have to do one primary tactic to beat one of those top tier teams
