Obviously an off-season topic! I was skimming the box scores from our 2011 title run and noticed that Coombs McDaniel dominated the bench mins throughout the tournament but vs. Butler it was Giffey and Jamal Coombs-McDaniel basically didn’t play.
Anyone remember why?
I think you all know where I am going with this. It is safe to say UConn has underperformed every season after an NCAA championship. The hangover is real. I hope Hurley uses this as motivation next year.
1999-2000
Preseason Rank: AP #1
End of Season Result: 25-10, 5-seed, L 2nd Round...
I’ve been making a lot of trips to MSG recently and usually always leave with an L. Crunched the #s and yep we are 5-6 here under Hurley.
6-7 since 2014
9-8 since Calhoun retired
Here to celebrate the best start to a season we have seen since the Obama administration and the third best start to a season since Kemba's freshman year.

I don't recall this group of 5 ever being on the court together before..
Gaffney
Hawkins
Jackson
Polley
Whaley
I don't love the idea of having our three best players in Martin + Sanogo + Cole sitting at the same time. Luckily Hawkins hit a three and then we had the Jackson put back but I don't...
Not counting 2020-21 for obvious reasons this season is off to arguably our best start since Kemba's junior season.
2019-20: Jan 4th vs. South Florida
2018-19: Jan 2nd vs. South Florida
2017-18: Dec 23rd vs. Auburn
2016-17: Dec 10th vs. Ohio State

This seems like an unusually large spread for us considering we haven't won by more than 10 since the Grambling St. game in early December. I wonder if vegas knows something...
I love these three:
1) - Kevin Durant MVP odds are at +750
2) - Jalen Suggs ROY odds are at +600
3) - Jrue Holiday DPOY odds are at +1600
UConn related futures:
1) Mark Daigenault COY odds are at +7000 (Vegas has him in last) If for some reason Thunder make the playoffs he might actually win...

Lots to consider here with injuries and top players needing rest. Below is my 12 man roster prediction. We could be in big trouble. I go through the 57 finalists and I feel like everyone will opt out...
Looking at some of the bigger mock draft sites to see where Bouknight is predicted to land.
NBADraft.net (updated 4.15) - 17th to the Grizzlies
Love the team since I think he and Ja would be a dynamic duo but I would be disappointed if he fell out of the lottery. Unfortunately his Big East...
This has been a two year headache and I can't seem to pinpoint the issue. I have Optimum and when I watch TV my screen randomly gets blurry, almost as if the signal gets weak. Sometimes it will go a few days without an issue and other times it will be unwatchable.
I've called, chatted and...
Is there a more unlikeable player in the NBA than Kyrie? He's campaigning for players to not continue the season?
What ?!
To me this is coming off as “if I can’t play nobody can play” type of elementary school attitude. He’s had this same weak attitude since 2017. Wah wah I cant play with...
This podcast series is definitely not for everyone but I enjoy it. Rip shares some great Kobe memories, Khalid El Amin stories, and what it was like playing for and with MJ. Stephen Jackson had a story about getting high with KEA before the Rookie/Sophomore ASG. Rip and Stephen Jackson talk...
Why is UConn traveling from New Orleans to Storrs to Forth Worth in a two day stretch? This team has compiled more traveling miles than anyone else in the conference and now make this dumb decision.
New Orleans to Forth Worth = 540 Miles
New Orleans to Storrs (1,442 miles) and Storrs to Fort...
Almost March.
Looking like we are most likely a 6-seed or 7-seed. Don’t see us losing ground and falling to an 8 given our schedule down the stretch.
Regardless, I want to match up with Tulsa in rd 2 over Cincy.
