Why Can't GW Beat UConn?

I understand that this is a completely desperate plea, but what about UConn makes them powerful? They sucked last year and there is no reason to believe that they have greatly improved. I was really excited to see that we were going to play them this year after Calhoun said we weren't any good last year. I guess we both suck now; I just hope that they suck worse than us like they did last year.

Regardless of what happens tonight, I still hold out some hope for the Cats. A few years ago, UNC got blasted by Santa Clara in the first game of the year and they cruised to win it all. I'm not saying we can win it all, but I am saying that we will still be good. We have a good coach (I think), good players (well...I like Legion's potential), and a good fan base (unreasonable...but loyal). I think we'll end up being a six seed (in the NCAA tourney...sadly, it's completely necessary to clarify).

If you haven't had the opportunity to watch IU play, consider yourself lucky. They will scare the shit out of you. Not only do they have the best freshman in the country, they also have a Crawford! This one, Jordan, seems to play with a level of control that eludes Joe. Perhaps Jo-Jo can watch his brother, three years his junior, and learn something.

If you haven't seen the preseason All-American team, here it is:
C: Roy Hibbert, G-town
F: Tyler Hansbrough, UNC
G: Chris Lofton, UT
G: Darren Collison, UCLA
G: Drew MOTHER FUCKING Neitzel???????, MSU
Drew Neitzel is an All-American?!?!?!? First of all, there are at least five players, at his position, that are better than him. Second, what is his position? He is slow, a decent ball-handler, a serviceable shooter, and a defensive liability. What about him makes him an All-American? Is it because he's a senior? No Sean Singletary? No Eric Gordon? No Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, Brandon Rush, DJ Augustin, Patrick Beverly? Where are these guys? All of them are much better players than Neitzel, but are for some reason not gaining the same recognition. The media is so ridiculous when they make these picks. Here's mine...bitches:

C: Roy Hibbert-Who cares, there are no good centers in college basketball anymore. He's certainly tall enough.
F: Tyler Hansbrough-Somehow, Randolph Morris made him his bitch last year. I am in great fear of the day he returns to Rupp...
G: Sean Singletary-Best guard in the country on a bad team. Bad, bad team.
G: Eric Gordon-Best PLAYER in the country.
G: Chris Lofton-Best shooter since J.J.

I don't really have the stamina (knowledge) to elaborate any further on these guys, but if UVA is on, watch. Singletary is very good and he is able to single-handedly win games for his shitty team.

Watch Eric Gordon. He's unbelievable.
