    Your Thoughts On Bracket Picks

    Like Manu of you I will be filling out more than one bracket this year. Could go as high as eight. But as I look at my picks I'm torn between diversifying my picks, except for a few, teams with no shot, and blackballing certain teams either because of injury or Izzo, or the committee etc.. How...

    What's The Deal With Tickets?

    So when are our games in Brooklyn and what is the best way to purchase tickets? NM scalpers have it locked up on Sunday. Would like to go but it's sky high.

    On Saturday Feb 3 at 10am the US Olympic Marathon Qualification races take place in Orlando. Expected temps 60-70° start to finish. UConn alum Emily Durgin will be in the field. New to the distance she is approx 18th for women's Marathons completed in the last 3 years. A top 10 finish would be a...

    UConn vs Arizona, ASU, Utah and Colorado

    So how do you think we'll do this year versus the four to schools chosen to enter the Big 12 ahead of us? I think maybe three but not Utah. Big transition for Colorado with some talent and some holes.

    ESPN Brackets

    For some reason I can't fathom we're not allowed to comment on our own ESPN bracket group announcement but has anyone looked at the overall ESPN leaderboards lately? Maybe I'm not reading it correctly but it appears there are multiple Connecticut groups in the top 10 overall groups including The...

    I Have A Crazy Question

    There are a lot of variables during March Madness that teams have to adjust to in terms of travel, unfamiliar venues, teams, officiating, and games in quick succession. But one thing I noticed (or thought I noticed) possibly in conjunction with some inconsistent play was the unpredictable ball...

    Women Big East Cross Country Championships Saturday 11am

    Meet starts at 11am and coverage is on FloSports Network which may start a bit earlier. Unfortunately UConn recently dropped Men's XC so we will not compete in that race. I'm sure that saved our budget tens of millions but the women will be there and are usually competitive but not favored to...

    Tulane Beats Houston

    This Isn't Working

    Turner has really struggled. Coaches apparently don't trust him to stretch the field vertically and he hasn't shown himself to be an explosive runner. Combine that with his lack of experience and turnovers and you have to consider giving someone else a look. It's not giving up it's just taking a...

    Which Of Our True Freshmen Could Have An Impact In 2022

    Just browsing to check on likely arrival times for our new guys (early/mid June) and came across this 247 piece on true Freshmen who could see time for teams this season. Based on what we know about our incoming class (not much of course) and depth at various positions, do we see opportunities...

    Most Overseeded or Underseeded Teams

    I didn't really investigate but Alabama looks way overseeded for their resume. What else is out there?

    Anybody Like The New Hawk?

    The young man seems to be playing with a real chip on his shoulder right now and I think it's helping him quite a bit. He must have felt humiliated after the early season mistakes and now he just seems to be determined to go over, around, or through anything in his path. I'm glad to see it.

    Where Credit Is Due...

    I have to give Coach Hurley credit for sticking with The Hawk. When I see him in the game, loose handle and all, and teammates are passing to him for the open look there has to be some degree of confidence or direction from the Coach. Maybe this starts to work out. Secondly (and maybe/probably)...

    #CTHSFB Week 4

    Some seriously good games tonight and tomorrow and many with streaming links. But why not bundle up and go see one live? Down in FFC Darien travels to NFA, Hand at Masuk, Ridgefield at Newtown to name a few. And tomorrow 2 of the best running backs in the State face off as Cheshire visits...

    We Take Turns Making Mistakes

    Great observation by one of the announcers. It's the mark of a young team that desperately needs good coaching.

    Maybe We Needed Another Year Off

    ... to get Bigger, Faster and Stronger. Forget the fact the o-line is young and in a shambles. Maybe go get a transfer or two? We cant' block, can't score and may not win a game if the offense doesn't solve that problem. And why play Zergiotis in the second half at all? It doesn't matter if...

    After We Play Middle Tennessee State - Progress

    After the MTSU game we have 2 weeks off before running a final 3 gauntlet of Clemson, UCF and Houston. What should we know about the team by then and what do you think the best and worse case scenario paths might look like?

    What You Would Like Each Player To Improve On

    Everybody has strengths and weaknesses and we've talked about them at length. Guys like Gaffney can improve on his handle, shooting, aggressiveness etc. Martin can improve on his finishing. But to some extent these might be marginal improvements. My personal interest for improving our results is...

    How Good Is The Big 12?

    Without a deep understanding of all the metrics just watching some of their games it looks like a bunch of tough teams. I'm not convinced the B1G has a clear advantage over their 1-7. Have a feeling at least 2 from that league go far in the Tourney.

    Who's Left At Practices?

    It has to be that much more of a grind and less productive without enough bodies at practice. I really admire our fight, but being so shorthanded you have to wonder how long we can sustain even these close losses.

    2019-2020 Bowl Game Thread

    XC Track Coach JJ Clark To Stanford

    Mixed opinions about his coaching style and I was somewhat disappointed when Amy Begley was bypassed to take over especially XC. JJ brought some athletes with him but there was never a big step forward. UConn's JJ Clark to Stanford

    Some Questions I Have For Coach

    I've been apoplectic all early season about feeding the bigs against weaker opposition in order to develop the tools and create more balance against the tougher competition. Why the heck did we wait until today to show how inept and unprepared we are to do it with any shred of competence...

    What We Need To Do Better

    Great win last night and we saw some pieces to the puzzle fitting in. We made shots! We rebounded! We hustled and we looked like a team! And it really looks like Alterique has taken a load of pressure off of Jalen's back. While we can't expect that kind of 3pt shooting heat to continue every...

    LAZ and Parking Flow - Ideas?

    A lot of you are upset with the flow and a few have offered some ideas on how to improve it. Maybe with some feedback we can inprove the situation. Would like to consolidate the ideas on 1 thread and maybe we can come to a consensus on how this would best work. When this gets moving I'll refer...

    Timeline For New Facilities?
