Welcome to the first Hot Takes Tuesday. Every week, I'll react to the UConn events of the past seven days, with fiery opinions about everything. So there's no confusion, after each bit I'll rate the heat of each, because nothing's worse than having a scalding sports take thought of as just a normal opinion.
The USF loss cost UConn a bowl game.
The loss to South Florida essentially seals this one. In order to be bowl-eligible, they'll need to win three out of their final five games, including trips to Cincinnati, Tulane, and Temple, and home games against East Carolina and Houston.
