The UConn Huskies are no lock to get into the NCAA tournament.

I know it sounds crazy and is certainly not what fans in Storrs want to hear, but it's reality.

Thus far, Jim Calhoun & Co. still lacks a résumé win following Wednesday night's last-second road loss to Cincinnati.

UConn's best win this far is a home victory against William & Mary.

My guess is that the selection committee won't exactly be blown away with that one come March – even though William & Mary has gotten out to an impressive start.

The good news is that UConn doesn't have a so-called bad loss yet. The Huskies have come up short against Kentucky and Duke – a pair of top 10 teams – in Madison Square Garden and fell to a talented Bearcats team that has been up-and-down this season.

Calhoun was banking on mid-season addition Ater Majok giving his thin bunch of Huskies a lift. However, the long and athletic 6-foot-10 freshman is having difficulty making the adjustment, averaging 2.0 points and 3.8 rebounds in his first four games.

UConn's top six players should be able to stack up with just about anyone in the Big East – Jerome Dyson, Kemba Walker, Stanley Robinson, Alex Oriakhi, Majok (he'll improve as the season goes along) and Gavin Edwards.

Calhoun doesn't trust freshman Jamaal Coombs-McDaniel just yet, and the bench simply isn't "UConn" good.

The Huskies have had success with under-the-radar guys in the past – guys like Hilton Armstrong and Josh Boone.

But right now UConn is struggling to get big-time recruits. In fact, since the commitment of Oriakhi and Coombs-McDaniel back in August of 2006, the Huskies have only reeled in two top 100 players: Walker and Majok.

The Huskies have three signees from the Class of 2010: talented wing Jeremy Lamb out of Georgia, 6-foot-10 big man Michael Bradley, who chose UConn over Drake and 6-foot-7 athletic forward Cleveland Melvin, who many consider a mid-major recruit.

Right now Calhoun is unable to get anything of note from freshmen guards Darius Smith or Jamaal Trice, veteran Donnell Beverly and big man Charles Okwandu and Jonathan Mandeldove.

Sure, UConn will still win its share of Big East games, but the Huskies have just one of the four "elite" teams in the league at home: West Virginia. UConn will face Villanova, Syracuse and Georgetown all on the road.
