I know its only Tuesday, but it has been very quiet around news of returning players and next year's roster. I know coaches are working and players have much to consider. Any word on when we can expect any announcements?

Does anyone know what Illinois record is with Shannon in the lineup vs. when he sat out for a period of the season? He is their best offensive player and it would be interesting to compare their metrics in games he played vs. not played. I assume the metrics would look improved and likely a...

I don’t know who is scouting them because the talent level does not come through watching this game. Nothing special athletically or skills wise.

Talent level for either team is really safe. All big east bubble teams are better than either of these two.

I concur...if we can get to the final four, I believe we will win it all. The west bracket is weak and I fear no team in that bracket. Whoever we face in the championship game is going to have all the pressure, as the wagon of Connecticut will have arrived as the steamrolling defending...

It just never felt right that Pat would end up a Husky. Just a gut feeling post his multiple visits. Cooper on the other hand just felt like he fit. I was expecting to lose Pat, but just had a weird feeling that we would get Cooper. Not sure if Pat tipping his hat to Cooper that he was not...

If true, Hurley taking a page out of Geno's recruiting playbook. Geno is known to have done this for top recruits for several years now. It could make a difference to a recruit like Cooper.

It just feels like this one isn’t likely to happen. No information, just gut. Not sure if it’s him, us or lack of chemistry/vision for his role.

The price is wrong, bitch!

Hopefully the boneyard video team can add highlights from each game. It would be good to see the newcomers in action.

You never quite know how it will all play out but, if Castle performs at all conference type level as a freshman, we are going to be very tough to handle. I think everyone is expecting that Clingan and Karaban could have all conference type seasons, but if we can get another starter to be that...

It’s called Uber…use it…

Well, since you asked for my two cents, his name “Apostolos” translates to Paul in English. So, not that interesting, but you pronounce his name “Apo” “Stoli” in informal Greek. So, my suggestion for a fun nickname would be “Stoli”, which is pronounced like the vodka.

Great article...based on his background and story, it just feels like this kid just landed in his basketball heaven...our history, coaches, players, facilities, fanbase...he must be on cloud nine with how he went from an unrecruited high school player, overcoming injuries, to starting for the...

Very excited about this addition…his passing is really exciting to watch…shooting stats speak for themself…the fit is just so perfect on paper…let’s hope it translates as expected…

Looking forward to watching him help lead a new group of Husky pups…go and get it boys!

It sounds like an old assistant coach is now on the staff at UCLA and they are getting a visit. May hurt our chances. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/report-rutgers-transfer-cam-spencer-visiting-ucla-men-s-basketball/ar-AA1bUmiO?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=1ee64b4356a649bfa8fd3521e5f16313&ei=10

Kemba

Looking forward to some of the reports for those we have time to track. Thanks

Well they do have more playing time available than we did at his position assuming Newman returns...I know they are not apple for apple as Newman is more combo than SG, but a lot less competition to get on the court. Still a bit surprising given his home in Mass.

#1 in assists is where I expected this team to end up. Easily the overall best passing team in UCONN history...so fun to watch!

This could be a larger factor than most may think...no insider information...

This is exactly what I previously posted on a different Clingan thread. He is our best player and its crazy that he is not starting and playing 25-30 minutes every game unless in foul trouble.

I just posted in the other Clingan thread that he is our best player and the most consistent performer through the first 18 games of the season (some additional team dynamic implications as well). Thanks for posting stats that back up the eye test. He needs to start going forward and receive...

That is what Hurley gets paid $4MM to figure out...just saying, I would hope so...

I don't post very often, but in my opinion, Clingan is our best overall player and has been the most consistent performer of all our players through the first 18 games of the season, period! He needs to start and play the majority of minutes at the center position for every game going...

I think the bench won us this game…starters were not very good at start of 2nd half or after they came back in in at around the 8 minute mark

Just a thing of beauty…continuous movement of that ball creates poetry on the court…keep it moving and good things happen…

I agree 100% he is the key to the season all else being equal.

I travel to the Ionian Islands every year and they offer a great balance of history, beaches, culture and food. I have also been to several other areas of Greece (North (Thessaloniki), Peloponnese, East (Rhodes)), and they all have their own unique and special attractions and style. If you...

Men’s Hoops Dominates Providence in Bouknight’s Return - University of Connecticut Athletics (uconnhuskies.com) They basically used the quotes from coach as the backdrop to the game highlights...I must say...very nice...all should watch...

I like the comment at the end “we are not losing any more games in this building”. Also, the nostalgia of what could have been with this group and our home fans. Really want this season to end special for this group...

Yes, I 100% would attend a game with family and friends...

I have received information for local high school players/coaches that a protest is planned for Wednesday at 5PM at the Capital Building in Hartford to protest the cancelling of the season...I encourage as many as possible to support these student athletes and coaches...
