SB Nation's Connecticut and Pittsburgh communities discuss tonight's Huskies-Panthers game and UConn's conference title chances:
UConn looked like it might be battling for the Big East basement and then, of course, went to Morgantown and handed the Mountaineers a 16-13 OT defeat. The Big East has been crazy this season and you can't really count anyone out for the conference title until maybe this weekend's games. Every Big East team, other than Pitt, has two conference losses and a third may be too much to overcome. Do you think UConn is still a true contender for the title or did the WVU game simply delay the team's elimination?
In an abstract sense, absolutely UConn is a contender for the title. The evidence through 10 weeks is saying that no one (except Pitt, maybe) is any good, and as a result it seems like every game is a coinflip. So yeah, I think UConn could beat or lose to any of the other seven teams.
But in the 2010 reality, UConn needs to win four straight games (or get some wacky combination of results) to win the Big East, and betting on a sequence of tails-tails-tails-tails - especially when this coin is so mediocre - doesn't strike me as a good investment.
