What? You should want to win every game.
This place is one of the worst forums I've on strawmanning and putting words in people's mouths with replies. I didn't say I don't want to win, I said if we love there's a silver lining, we get a chance to make UConn the bottom-feeder of the tourney. Chill the **** out.

You said you don't mind losing.

You said you didn’t mind losing…that’s just a wild take in general my man, no strawmanning when you’re stuffing that scarecrow yourself

This place is ******* stupid, I'm out.
Wow. this took a wild turn.

Imagine telling someone to "chill the **** out" when you yourself seem to be having a meltdown.

Lets take a vote-who had a bigger freak out, Dan Hurley yesterday, or ross just now?

The worst part about this this whole thing losing yesterday?

We have a quality loss to Auburn - cool i guess.
But was really hoping for UNC to lose so we could get another quality game (SoS and perception wise)

Now we get Dayton (and as long as we play anything like last night we "should" win), we then play Colorado.
so we get two mid teir games and you hope to God we don't lose any.

I think that is where the other person was trying to get to if we somehow lose tonight. Would suck, but at least we get a chance at a quality Win. I imagine UConn will be a top 4 seed at the end of the year. Colorado not so much, but who knows.

at least we know UCONN is the talk of the tournament (not in a good way)
something tells me Uconn came in a little bit too arrogant this week.

I don’t disagree with this but with those two losses how good would a UConn win be right now? Also while I think you could beat this UConn team losing also opens up the possibility of going 0-3 with a bad loss to Dayton.

I get the silver lining but it’s odd logic before the game has started

I'm not judging freak outs until Tyrese Hunter wins tourney MVP.

oh trust me I am not wanting to lose any games. Hope we win by a mile tonight, but it does kind of suck potentially leaving the island with zero quality wins.

I guess the alternative is leaving with zero wins also. so I will just hang up and listen....lol
