Praise is praise.
Certainly there is a value for recruits and transfers to know the Herculean job Hurley has accomplished in his short tenure at UConn.
There's also a value for emphasizing we have a long history of being a top program and deemphasizing the negative period. It creates more...
I suggest everyone listen to this postgame interview. Hurley is the entire package. He emphasizes NW was without two important players which helped in our dominance and the comeback was the result of the culture Collins coaches at NW. Genuine respect for the opponent.
He calls out the...
So I listened to the postgame interview and from it have to add one more thing about "bulletproof". The statement was made initially to emphasize the coaching staff and their role in making UConn the team as great as it is. Dan is the consummate supporter of his players and coaches and his...
UConn now has eight straight double digit wins in the NCAA tournament. Seven in a row was the double digit record. 8>7 so even though I'm not a math nerd and specifically I'm not a Syracuse Alum I know we are doing good.
Two sides to every coin.
Opposition: Upside is we have not played our A game this tournament and opposing teams know it. When we play our best we’re unstoppable and opponents have seen that. So yes the statement will be used to motivate opponents but, depending on the character of...
We subset sets in ways different from one another.
Kobe is ok in my book because his derision is not meant to be taken seriously and he doesn’t take the shade thrown at him personally. Most of us love throwing shade and hurting others but struggle when it’s the reverse.
They'll look dumb to me. They'll do it anyways and no matter what you and I think
it won't impact them one iota. Most likely if they were reconsidering next year how to react if something similar was to happen and doing it differently that is less likely now.
Don't get me wrong. I get...
Too bad many of the posters are siding against you because they are emotionally siding with the BE against your BE attacks and completely overlooking your position which is you would love UConn to be in the same conference with Cincinnati. And they don't recognize your ability to take the...
I understand the same points you are making. The teams underperformed for valid reasons and I don't hold it against them. I'm arguing that the outcome will have some degree of negative impact on the conference because those individuals who came under pressure before the losses now can argue...
Recruiting has always been dirty. There have been people in the know who reported how coaches leveraged things about JC in getting players he's recruiting. Like everyone else I take what people post with a grain of salt. But over time when I observe a pattern of posters that prove themselves...
Anybody who reads this forum should realize that only math nerds attempt to objectively look at things.
The NCAA panel was attacked because of their treatment of the BE. They now have cover. The media will pull back their attacks because many casual fans (the vast majority of fans) will...
It certainly is possible that the retired Butler AD and the NCAA panel believe those losses validate their selection choices.
It certainly is possible a transfer or high school player might look at those results and think the BE in general and those losing schools in particular are weak and...
A couple of posters forgot who did the Mandalorian bit last year. Just making sure there is no confusion who the idiot was who ran with that bit all tournament long.
I was ctchamps well before we came to this forum but wasn’t able to create that name when we moved here. After last year’s...
Virginia market. It's the school that many Virginians follow. State with a large population. Not as fanatical statewide as residents of North Carolina are to UNC.
UNC will be SEC bound. Slam dunk for that conference. I hope NC State is forced to go with them. Less competition for UConn...
Taylor Swift = yuch Lifeboy cringy!
We could have had an undies theme! Or posting cringing faces theme! Or screaming wide mouth theme with fist pumping. Or bulls eyes where people missed the target.
What do we get. A star that appeals to fan girls with no relationship to UConn. That...
If teams try to play our perimeter tight we can put Donovan in Adama's role and have him play near the basket. Last year we could not put Adama in Donovan's role as a perimeter passer.
Last season we had two players in our starting lineup who were flawed in the offensive half court for their...
Sorry to hear this. Worse thing in the world is to love someone and not be able to help them. Hope they can find out the proper course of treatment and she gets better soon.
I wrote it’s very unlikely they get into the SEC. So don’t understand why I need to walk you through something unlikely to happen.
But in the off chance I’m wrong they’re likely to be in the 5-7 or 3-9 category in the SEC.
They’re fighting to get out of the ACC before slots are filled in...
North Carolina is all south culturally. The academic fit with the BIG is far less important than the southern regional fit of like mindedness. The SEC will be throwing bundles to bring them in. North Carolina is the eastern equivalent of Texas for the SEC.
Virginia will be the interesting...
Pictures are worth a thousand words.
Not difficult to imagine McClelland demonstrating this degree of enthusiasm in his role of creating the best brackets and choosing the deserving teams for the tournament. Eyes are 2/3 shut.
