UCONN Tanks

[Section201]

Looks like UCONN is NIT bound after being in the final four last year.

Lost to St. Johns 73-51 today in round 1 of the Big East Tourney.

7-11 in conference and 17-15 overall with an rpi of 55.

I do wish we had that RPI though!

In any case

They lost by 22 to SJU?! Wow.

Yup. Reminds me of our Michigan encounter.

NEW YORK (AP)—For the fifth straight year, Connecticut left the Big East tournament without winning a game. And for the second time in the run, there won’t be an NCAA tournament bid to offset the hurt.

St. John’s ran away from the Huskies 73-51 on Tuesday, extending their Big East tournament losing streak to six games and beating them for the first time since February 2002, a stretch of nine games.

Connecticut’s fourth straight loss overall was a lifeless performance that turned into the Huskies’ worst beating of the season.

Pretty amazing that UCONN has lost six in a row in the BEast tourney.

Calhoun talking about potentially skipping the NIT if invited...

...Kemba Walker talking like he will come back next year.

Ah well.. we should feel sorry for St. John's - by winning, they have to face Marquette tomorrow.. 1pm CT on ESPN. Time to bounce back from the awful Notre Dame ending this past weekend..
