I kind of like watching swimming when the Olympics roll around but I've always detested pools and swimming. I hate swimming so much that I haven't been in a pool in well over 20 years. Anyone else hate swimming or any other sport/activity this much?

The interview the other day on the McAfee show was great Hurley is so comfortable in his own skin and he's an open book. I don't really watch any of these sports shows anymore and from what I've seen the other shows are annoying but that was a great watch and so is this. McAfee has the gift...

Deepster was the Mojo king of this board. Deepster put all the chicken little fans in their place and told them to watch. Fanta did the same and was the best journalist/media person at the final 4.

Call me crazy but they were good last night and good the whole tournament. Edey gets way too much love from the refs every single game he plays and we saw a little of that last night but there were just two in winning time with him that bothered me. There was a play in the opening seconds...

Hurley has taken over College hoops and taken UConn to unprecedented levels in the modern era. Someone else paved the way to even make it a possibility and we thought he might be at home in CT for this...

The Caitlin Clark phenomenon is absolutely insane, it's been two seasons of her crushing TV #'s and it just keeps amping up. The men's TV #'s are also really good. I really wish they were putting all the games on CBS and ABC/ESPN. It makes it much harder pulling great #'s on TBS and TruTV...

UConn was 3 for 17 last night and 6 for 39 for three against Northwestern and Illinois combined. It shows the dominance of Clingan and just how truly great this team is. What happens when we start knocking down threes?

He gets screwed out of blocks in the stats seemingly every game but that was about the most dominating performance I've seen from a UConn player ever, the Northwestern game is right there as well. He went up soft the first trip down the floor instead of dunking and missed the bunny and then it...

On ESPN late last night I heard someone say UConn's rebound total of 50 last night was the most rebounds in a NCAA tournament game since 2011 when UConn had 53 rebounds in the title game against Butler. 50 rebounds to their 29 last night, 21 offensive rebounds to their 10.

Castle and Clingan are both made for the NBA. Castle took on the challenge of guarding the best player on the other team since he stepped on the floor this season. It's really uncommon, everything about his low key demeanor off the court and on the court reeks pro. He clamps down on defense...

Connecticut high school prospect. I noticed this kid when I watched Abdou Toure's semifinal state playoff game, probably drained around 5 threes and had a couple big dunks. Only has an offer from Sacred Heart at this point but his athleticism is jawdropping. He looks like he needs to develop...

Sister Jean filled out her first public bracket ever and she's still sharp as a tack at 104 years old...

I used to like Val but she's invisible. It may be time for a new commish.

The talking heads have been at it all season long with how UConn hasn't accomplished things for so long in the Big East. The new one is how is it possible UConn hasn't won the Big East tournament since 2011? Everyone in media is singing our praises and have us as the best team in the country...

Who do we want? I don't really care in terms of matchups but what I really want is a full strength Marquette. I respect the hell out of them. I think Kolek is done for the season and Marquette has remained mum because of NCAA tournament seeding. It makes me sad if that's the case, that kid...

Sounds like it was a memorable game between the two ND's. NDWH sends it to OT on a buzzer beating three from Landon Krygier and wins 73-71 in double OT over NDFF. Toure with 37 points.

This team is special. I've been saying for a while I think it has the chance to be the best UConn team ever. No matter what happens from here on out this team will always be special. There's an opportunity to win 8 more games now to lay claim to that throne. I'm arguing/discussing with...

Not sure why recruiting threads keep getting locked so I'll start another one. Kimani at the game yesterday for Abdou Toure, it's clear UConn is going to make him a priority.

I'm all for it if it's done right and the fans don't charge the court when the players are still on the court. What just happened in the Wake storming really pisses me off. They all charged the Duke players. It looked way more like an attack on the Duke players than celebrating a big win...

Yes, I'm overlooking DePaul. I'll be there for $6, we're going to blow them out. Final 6 games- Marquette home, Creighton away, Nova home, Seton Hall home, Marquette away, Providence away. Arguably our toughest stretch of the season. 4-2 over the stretch would be fine and almost assuredly...

Cam is right there for a 50/40/90 season which is extremely rare. Has any UConn player ever accomplished this before? I can't think of anyone. Remarkably Karaban is right there as well but has a little more to do to achieve it. It's crazy how efficient these guys are.

Could Castle end up the #1 pick? Scouts must be drooling over him. Legit 6'6 with serious on court strength. He finishes though contact as well as you'll see. He has great vision. He's a lockdown defender who can guard 1-4. And he's now showing his shooting. He's a great player/prospect...

I love everything about this clip. I love what Hurley is saying and the pat on Samson's head from coach and the pat on Samson's back from Clingan are just awesome. These 15 seconds are Uconn basketball and showcase the culture this program has...

I don't see any way Neptune comes back next season. So who does Nova hire? It's a great job, who are the best candidates out there?

Embiid with 65 and 17 in 34 minutes and Towns has 44 points on 14-17 fg's at halftime. It always cracks me up when people say the big man in dead in the NBA.

Word is Bill Self has been helping him behind the scenes. https://www.wcia.com/sports/your-illini-nation/judge-rules-in-favor-of-shannon-jr-in-temporary-restraining-order-case/

Flagg's Montverde wins a close one over Dybantsa's Prolific Prep. So much talent on the floor with Flagg, Dybantsa, McNeeley, Queen, Stokes, Zoom Diallo... Flagg and Dybantsa are special. Flagg is the best all around player but Dybantsa has even more scoring ability than him. It would be a...

Cam is a special player. He's our best offensive player and makes all sorts of plays on defense despite having trouble keeping perimeter players in front of him. He was even stuck playing center at one point and got two deflections while denying Xavier a layup down low, he also saved the game...

Has anyone watched Notre Dame of West Haven yet this season? The sophomore duo of Abdou Toure and Landon Krygier dunk all over everyone. They had 29 and 28 points against Holy Cross in the Anthony Ireland invitational in Waterbury with the best teams in the state. I think they're #1 or #2 in...

I'm doing the cooking. Beef tenderloin. Cooking it in a garlic herb butter and making a horseradish cream sauce for it. Potatoes au gratin, Brussel sprouts with bacon and raisins, yorkshire puddings. Haven't decided on dessert. What are people making?

I'm in CT with my mom who is in serious pain and can't even really get around the house with a walker. So she isn't using her car every day or at all right now. She has a one year old Forester under lease and there is a design flaw with these cars where the car has to be started basically...

Really sad news. Any basketball fan my age and older remembers Eric Montross well. He was a big deal in high school and college. Way too young, RIP big man. https://goheels.com/news/2023/12/18/tar-heel-eric-montross-succumbs-to-cancer-at-age-52

Dylan Harper just announced to Rutgers so now they have the #2 and #3 ranked recruits for next season. Steve has made Rutgers respectable but he hasn't really had a breakthrough. Hopefully this will be it for him, I'll always root for Pikiell.
