Lost one that they controlled all the way down the stretch & best player gets hurt on the final play & lose by 1 point off a desperation 3.

That hurt my feelings and UCONN's not even my team.

But on the bright side you guys are still the defending champs!04-cheers

Seriously though, UCONN looked good today and legitimately outplayed a top 10 team. Hate that Texas stole that one.

Keep us updated on Boatright UCONN. I hope he isn't seriously injured. Sorry to see the loss as well. I was pulling for you guys. That ending seriously stunk, but its only one game. Now go kill everyone else on the schedule except Houston. Go easy on us.

Saw the game too... Heck, I chose to watch the UConn game over the Texans... Man, can't believe I just said that.

On a serious note though... I was pulling for the Huskies here and really thought UConn was gonna pull this game... Would of being a great victory vs a #7 rank team.

Let this be a lesson to fans of the other conference schools..........KNOCK DOWN YOUR FREE THROWS!!!!!!!

That is the main reason we lost today, a missed free throw by Boatright. If he hits that last FT, we're going to OT. Not losing a heartbreaker.

I'm sure UConn could of done other things differently... The Horns had a wide open shot... Bottom line, UConn failed defensively.

That's why I didn't say it was the only reason. Just the main one.

As a Titans fan, you didn't miss anything. I suppose you're Texans fan, then you missed arsekicking.

UCONN shot 17-21 from the free throw line for 81%. Boatright made 7-8. No one makes them all. The problem was a wide open look for a three after Texas inbounded the ball with 4 seconds left. Just an inexcusable defensive breakdown.

I will always be a Houston Coog/USC Trojan FIRST... But ever since the Oilers left Houston, I have not completely gotten on board with the NFL in this case the Texans... Don't get me wrong, I occasionally catch myself pulling for the Texans, more so when facing the x-Houston team, The Oilers and in your case now the Titans.

UConn was missing a couple players. They'll be fine.

UConn usually treats November and December like the Patriots treat September. This is preparation for February and March.

Boat has an ankle sprain - he'll be back.

Tough loss indeed, but UConn couldn't hit a FG the last 7 minutes. Plenty of chances to ice the game.
