What a weird, rollercoaster of a week.
It’s been a weird season as a whole, with many surprises, including untimely losses and player arcs that haven’t gone as hoped. Some of the wins have been surprising as well.
Being down 14 at one point in a game against DePaul was unexpected, almost as unexpected as the eventual UConn win after the way that contest started.
Liam McNeeley dropping 38 points to win at Creighton in his first start back from injury was an incredible surprise.
That they followed it up with one of the ugliest single-game collapses in program history speaks to the high variance that’s starting to define the 2024-2025 UConn men’s basketball experience.
In this episode, Aman and Patrick discuss the realities of adjusted expectations, roster deficiencies, and the outlook for the rest of this season. The only thing we know for sure heading into the last five regular-season games is that anything can happen.
We also covered the NBA Dunk Contest, Tyrese Martin’s new contract with the Nets, and future opportunities for Adama Sanogo.
Enjoy!
