Next year is next year, though. Why worry? Right now, there are games to be won. There’s a tournament to capture, a season to save. There’s a coach, fresh off another surgery, fresh off another medical leave, trying to rally a team with so much potential.

“One of the reasons I think we do well in tournaments is because we play with a little different attitude,” (Jim) Calhoun said. “We don’t have anything to lose.”

Here comes Jim Calhoun, going after that ref. Forget that back surgery. Here comes UConn, going after the improbable. Forget those “various things.”

“Is it magical?” Calhoun asked. “No, it’s just us.”
