If we can’t beat UConn we don’t deserve anything. Their big freshman is out for the year. I get they are playing better but they still aren’t that good. I mean we aren’t either but you have to be able to beat UConn. Wichita would be a little trickier just because we’ve beat them 6 straight times. They have to win One eventually.

Those are your options, no “but we won’t be in the tourney if we don’t win it”. Have to pick one.

I’m so confused... the sweet 16 of the NIT?

I need more contested.

Are you asking if I’d rather UC be a Cinderella team ?

Yes, I’m referring to the nit. Nailed it. Not sure what’s confusing but I’m not surprised

There's a Beavis and Butthead reference in here somewhere.

It has zero context.

We could 0-30 and win the conference tourney and lose in round 1 of tourney. That would be terrible.

Or in the other scenario, we could go 31-1, with the only loss being in the conference tourney championship, have a 1 seed and lose in the sweet 16.

I’m just asking for some context.

I’m referring to this year. The question is would you rather win the conference tourney this year, then lose the first game of the tourney or lose in the conference tourney and make the sweet 16. I ask the question because some people just want to make the tourney. Don’t really care about winning the thing. Since it’s random. So is it just hearing our name called? Is that the exciting part? Or would you want to give up a conference championship in order to win a couple games in the big one. There is no right or wrong, just curious about what people like more.

I mean a sweet 16 is celebrating being a loser just like losing in the first round. If you don’t win it all you are a loser.

That said this year, I think it was a wash. I was a lot more frustrated watching this team than I was entertained. For the first time ever, I wanted the regular season to just end.

So a sweet 16 would salvage a season where uc was embarrassed more times than it’s been in the last 5 combined. It would send out Jarron and Tre the right way.
A conference tourney championship would mean absolutely nothing to me after the regular season performance.

Home games were far more frustrating than fun for the first time in years.

So either do something big or just bow out early and save us the misery

Thanks. Haven’t missed a game in years.

We all can’t be super fans like you.

I do my part in supporting the program. Hopefully you do too

I don’t do it by consistently downing on the program or wishing for the season to be over. In all those games you go to are you wearing the opposing teams shirts?
