This team is 7-1 but against a soft schedule, the only real good team they beat is Providence by 5 at home, they also lost by 2 at #6 Virginia. The rest of their wins are against cupcakes so they are kind of untested except for the two games.

Ok but what's your point usna90?? We played those teams the first two games of the year with basically brand new team.... no excuse to lose to them at all but would be much worse to lose to them 9-10 games into the season than games 1-2
He's not going to the league. He's been turnover prone and inefficient and his metrics show that. I still haven't seen him in a single mock.Tough turnovers...what worries me right now is Jalen looks like he's going to the league while at the same time he's not ready to win. I know a lot is being asked of him but its not outside his ability.
Solid game for the bigs, every game Kenton & Amida look better. D is ill. The ball movement goes from dominant to nonexistent.
I would like to vent a bit about this situation UConn is in now - being down to eight scholarship players before the calendar even turned to December. I was reading an article by Armando Salguero (the Dolphins beat writer), and he wrote about the fact that teams have to be careful when depending upon players with injury histories - because once the history is established, it tends to repeat itself. This year, UConn recruited Gilbert and Diarra, who were known to have issues. I'm not suggesting that UConn shouldn't take a chance on talented players with medical issues - just that they better have Plan B and Plan C in place if they intend to do so. Getting Vital was almost an afterthought this year. It's a good thing they did get him, because but it turns out that he might be the most valuable recruit they picked up. In most circles, forfeiting scholarships is considered a punishment; UConn leaves them unused on purpose. That certainly looks like a mistake at this point. My guess is that even after a year off, Gilbert's shoulder and Diarra's knees will still be an issue in the future, so UConn's staff needs to plan accordingly and make sure that they take advantage of all of their scholarships.
One more thing: Purvis' play still annoys the heck out of me. At this point I should just accept that this is the way it's going to be, but for some reason I'm still puzzled by the ridiculous mistakes he makes every time I see them.
