What to make of UConn

Posted on by

Difficult to get a handle on UConn. The Huskies are 5-1, having beaten Duke, Maine, Pittsburgh, Temple and Akron while losing by one point to Virginia. Out of all those teams, only Virginia is respectable. Winning, however, instills confidence in teams, and UConn will be powered by high levels of adrenaline.

U of L will be coming off a good win over a tough opponent. Some improvement on defense should carry over into an improved focus during this week’s preparations. The stop on that last series of Cincinnati downs was a beginning. Build on it.

We believe Brian Brohm latched on to the leadership role in a new way in the win over Cincinnati. Now that the Heisman Trophy talk has died down, Brian should be able to do what he does best, keep those receivers moving the chains. Brock Bolen and Anthony Allen can help by chewing up yardage as well.

These comments by David Harding in the University of Cincinnati’s independent student newspaper are too good not to share:

Louisville fans don’t respect the Bearcats. But why should they? The UC Bearcats just can’t seem to beat their rival down Interstate 71 in anything. No matter if the sport is football, basketball, baseball, or volleyball, UC just can’t find wins against the Cardinals.

The basketball team has lost four out of their last five meetings with Rick Pitino’s Cardinals. Brian Cleary’s baseball team is just 3-6 in their last nine meetings against the team down south.

Even the women have had their trouble. The women’s basketball team has lost five out of their last six against Louisville.

The last time the volleyball team beat the Cardinals was 2003. Louisville has dominated the women’s soccer team, boasting a 3-0 record over the Bearcats in their last three meetings.

No Quit In Brohm

Stop complaining. Listen a minute.

Brian Brohm has never been known for making overly optimistic predictions. In fact, he rarely makes predictions. Brian avoids the cameras or microphones when possible, preferring to do his talking on the football field. When he does talk, people listen.

“The thing about our team is we do have the capability of beating everyone left on our schedule. We have the talent, we have the offensive firepower to go out and outscore teams. So if we’re coming to play, teams better be ready because I think we can beat anyone. We feel good going into Big East play that we can play with all these teams and pull out some big wins.”

That’s what he told Russ Brown in a Lexington Herald-Leader story, insisting that all is not lost and that the Cards can still salvage their season by bouncing back to win the Big East title.
