    Congratulations to one of the best UConn teams of all time.

    This has been such an enjoyable and entertaining team to watch all season. And now there is just one more mountain to climb. Go Huskies!

    Devin Carter

    Have we played anyone better than him, this year? I don't think so. He put it all out there, but got almost no help from his team. He's a winner even when his squad loses.

    Portal Question

    Are players allowed to call schools to gauge interest before entering the portal?

    How many teams have 3 players who can take the last second shot?

    Many team have none; most have only one. We've got three! Karaban couldn't hit a shot for the entire game, but he nailed the big one that put Tristen into the record books. And he's hit many with time running out. Spencer is simply amazing. If the ball can leave his hands, it probably going in...

    Stewart, Ball, Johnson and the Swag

    Are we seeing a change in their demeanor? I think I'm seeing a confidence that is much greater than it was just a few weeks ago.

    ...and the Washington Generals losing streak continues

    Wow, what a dominant first half performance - like a precision Swiss watch, or the collegiate version of the Harlem Globetrotters. I cannot find the words to describe how beautiful that was to watch. After each championship, I can't believe UConn basketball could become more enjoyable to watch...

    Cliff Ellis Retiring - Played a memorable role in UConn History

    Cliff Ellis, the NCAA's oldest active coach, was the head coach of Clemson when Tate George hit The Shot. Ellis apparently waited 10 full years before he could stomach watching a replay. That's wield, I watch it before almost every big UConn game. And it's still great...

    Solo is impressive

    I love when a freshman shows that he belongs, and Solo has done that for me. He's going to grow into a star and also provide some muscle. Love this kid.

    More KK's Please

    KK really impressed me. She's the kind of modern, athletic, aggressive, confident player that we need more of, but don't seem to recruit. We have plenty of stand-around-the-perimeter-jump-shooters.

    Deon Sanders

    Wow, is there a better story in sports right now?

    OT: RIPEE-WEE

    Posted 11/29/20 after Sanogo's first games

    What's your projection for next year's team?

    Shame on me, but I wasn't paying close attention to recruiting this year. Please tell me about next year's team, and your realistic expectation for the lineup, overall team success and BE competition. Thanks.

    Recruiting Boost?

    I would think that this run has to boost our recruiting quite a bit. Coach Hurley has already leveled-up as far as recruting goes, but the team's style of play and success thus far in the NCAAT has to help even more. Love that Hurley has been promoting the BE as the best conference, but really...

    Where can I find a full game replay?

    Missed part the first half. Thanks.

    And this is why a Sanogo-Clingan tandem should be an option

    Marquette repeatedly drove the ball to the basket unimpeded when Sanogo was on the floor. Surprising? No, it's been happening all season, but last night it was a gameplan. Adama is really good at many things, but guarding the basket against the dribble is not one of them. The high hedge also...

    Why did Diarra start?

    FWIW, I thought he looked really good, and exceptionally quick. Was this strictly a strategic decision?

    Geno's stance against bad officiating

    I think it's a good thing what Geno is doing, even though I thought his timing in the SC game was poor. The teams, fans, and the sport itself, are hurt by poor and inconsistent officiating. It's damaging WCBB in the worst way, because it desecrates the principles of the game, and it weakens the...

    Time to step on the accelerator pedal, again.

    Many of the advantages we have as a team, including bench depth, twin bigs, Jordan's ability to stop and shoot in the blink of an eye, and Andre's chaos-producing athleticism, are maximized by playing at a faster sustained pace than other teams are capable of. This is how we played when we...

    Where's THAT Dorka?

    The Dorka we saw for about five minutes in the NCAA Tournament last year. The five minutes ended by her injury. The one who played with the fearless intensity that Nika plays with. I'm not bashing her, it's in her, we saw it, even if only for a brief few minutes. Standing around the perimeter...

    Has Clingan's successs caused Sanogo to press?

    We're so lucky to have a tandem as talented as these two, and like many here, I'd like to see them on the floor together, especially if Adama's future career is as a 4. However, I'm wondering if Sanogo is pressing a bit because of the terrific job, and accompanying accolades, that Clingan has...

    OT: Best College Fight Songs

    IMO, UConn has one of the best. I always liked USC's too. USC Fight Song- "Fight on" Please include a link if possible.

    Jackson was lucky he didn't get another Technical Foul

    I don't think it's been discussed since there has been a lot of other topics, but Andre needs to get himself under control. The woofing needs to end before it costs the team a game. Love the enthusiasm, but channel it in a better way. He was lucky yesterday.

    Nova is going to lose it's recruiting power

    Nova was the name brand in the NBE until now, but I have a feeling that's going to change and Nova will not be able to out recruit UConn. Nova's style is simply boring, regardless the results. It's a style that doesn't showcase its players and doesn't make them attractive to the NBA. If I was a...

    Joey hasn't really improved much since high school

    Just kidding, but look at this video from one of his HS games and it looks remarkably like his performance last night.

    Our recruiting video is going to be incredible.

    This team plays the most entertaining and high energy style of any team in memory. The highlights are already enough to fill a reel, and we're not even at the halfway point of the season.

    At some point do we see Sanogo and Clingan on the floor together?

    I could see Hurley showing this near the end of the season, if for no other reason than to give other teams something else to have to gameplan for. Of course, what could a game plan for that possibly be?

    Creighton forum talking UConn

    I visit the Creighton forum, Bluejay Underground, quite a bit. They've got enthusiastic and knowledgeable fans and they're very objective when commenting on other teams. They've been paying attention to the Huskies and have been quite impressed and very respectful...

    OT: WBB The better team won

    Not much to say other than that. There were more than 60 teams in this tournament, and all but one had to lose.

    Our Bigs came through big at the end

    It's frustrating when our Bigs waste so many of their precious five fouls, but when the game was on the line last night, it was free throw shooting by Olivia and Alliyah that helped make the difference. But it wasn't just that, they both played key roles on both ends of the floor. Perhaps the...

    If Paige is the engine, Nika is...

    In both NCAAT games, Nika has come in and halted the other team's momentum. I'm actually surprised that's she not been on the floor more often, and shocked that she wasn't on the floor helping protect a 3 point lead with about 6 seconds remaining. Sure, she makes some silly mistakes, but so does...

    The Bigs need to start blocking shots again

    Saw a lot of good things yesterday, inlcuding Paige and Azzie taking on more responsibility, interior offense, and aggressive on-ball defense. However, there is one area where we suddenly regressed, and that's our interior defense. During the last dozen games of the season our Bigs were...
