Thoughts after the Houston blowout

Last night's victory against Houston was payback.  A very focused UConn team perhaps played one of the best defensive games of the season in the 80-43 win.  The Huskies did this without DeAndre Daniels.  However, it would be great if they can continue to do this against their conference mates.

I really think Kevin Ollie needs to have a talk with Geno Auriemma.  Geno is very familiar with many lopsided games.  These types of scores will be common place going forward in the new American Athletic Conference.  These schools were brought in for football, not basketball.  The only competition facing the Huskies will face in conference play in the future is Cincinnati, Memphis, Temple or USF (maybe???), and SMU (until Larry Brown retires).  The rest of the conference is just bad - get use to it UConn fans.

Ollie: "They ruined my New Year, we ruined their Chinese New Year."

We live in a society that people can take offense to anything.  Well, Kevin Ollie has just learned that.

Chinese New Year quote was a Joke at the press conference after the game ..

The Sensitive Media

Funny, when I made this point on Twitter this afternoon, I was called negative by a UConn beat writer.  My problem with the Connecticut media is that they don't want to call an ace an ace or ask the tough questions.

      #UConn won 5 of its first 12 games by single digits. Its last five wins have come by an average of 21 pts. Closest was 83-73 vs. Memphis.

      @BackInStorrs Geez, point out something positive, get a cynical response. Be negative and get lambasted. Ah, Twitter.

      @EdDaigneault Its about time UConn is dominating teams. Its not negative, just facts. Look at the remaining schedule vs the RPI.
