My rage has led me to think about all the things this senior class of Gavin Edwards, Jerome Dyson and Stanley Robinson have and have not done.
IN THEIR FAVOR
-Made the Final Four in 2009, overcoming the injury of Jerome Dyson
-Got UConn's first ever win at home against a #1 ranked team (Texas, 2010)
Now, let's get to all the negatives. It's quite the list.
CHARGES AGAINST
-The first Jim Calhoun team to miss postseason play since 1986-87 (2006-07)
-The first Jim Calhoun team to lose a 1st Round NCAA game (San Diego 2008)
-The first Jim Calhoun team to lose a game at the Final Four (Michigan State, 2009)
-Have not won a single Big East Tournament game
-Have not won a Big East Regular Season Championship
-Lost to Syracuse in the Big East Tournament twice
-Lost the greatest game in Big East Tournament history (6 OT)
-They have the worst W-L of a 4-year Jim Calhoun class (not counting seniors in his first 3 seasons) since the 1994-95 seniors, and need 3 wins just to TIE that class (currently 89-41)
-Have a player who will likely never win an NCAA Tournament or postseason game, and has so far only played in one (Jerome Dyson, against San Diego)
-First UConn team to lose to Duke since 1992
-Drove Jim Calhoun to a medical leave of absence
-Performed so poorly in his return game against a mediocre team (to whom they lost twice) that Calhoun called it one of the most embarrassing losses in his career
-Lost back-to-back must-win-for-NCAA hopes in their senior year, including their final regular season game at Gampel Pavillion where they blew a 13-point lead
Anything else?
