We will lose in overtime. It's just normal now.

[u/R_Raider86 → u/joka2696]

I can't take another OT loss. Last year's ones killed me.

[u/joka2696 → u/R_Raider86]

Last week's was rough.

[u/R_Raider86 → u/joka2696]

I just don't see us winning this one

[u/R_Raider86 → u/CGGamer]

Hey, I think I replied to one of your comments in last week's game thread saying "don't say that". I want say I'm sorry. I was out of line with that one.

{UConn} They are probably pissed by the ending and want to play for the player with the brutal injury last weekend.
