People keep citing 1999 as the start date for when UConn became UConn. I'm sorry, but that negates a near decade of awesomeness. From 1990-1998 they had: 2 1-seeds 3 E8s 6 S16s 2 First Team AAs 5 Regular Season Conference Titles 3 BET Titles We were a Laettner buzzer-beater from a Final Four...

UConn's two locations were two of the worst locations for 3s relative to expectations.

There's another, more important list we can move up next Monday, but we still moved up this one. All Time Final Fours 1.UNC (21) 2.UCLA (19) 3. Duke (17) 3. Kentucky (17) 5. Kansas (16) 6. Ohio State (11) 7. Louisville (10) 7. Michigan State (10) 9. Indiana (8) 9. Michigan (8) 11. UConn (7) 11...

You bums were afraid of a spreadsheet.

1998 & 1999 Only second time in program history.

Just saying. Writing was on the wall.

Most All-Time #1 Seeds. Bolded are the teams that are all going to move up the list. UNC may add to their lead, but perhaps Iowa State will get their first. I guess there's an outside chance Arizona breaks their tie with Virginia, but that would be dumb. The NCAA website had an asterisk next to...

UConn has had 6 Consensus First Team All-Americans. Last year was the first time we won a title without one (Rip, Emeka, Kemba, Shabazz), but Newton has gotten one vote towards consensus as noted elsewhere. Usually you need 3/4 to make it. If he makes it, we begin to move up a very long list...

UConn is now alone at 12 for most weeks ever ranked #1, at 30 total weeks. We've broken a the 15 year tie we had with San Francisco. Suck it Bill Russell. Our last week at #1 tied us with San Francisco and Arizona. Since then, Arizona has built a lead on us and Gonzaga has passed us. But a...

UConn and Marquette (minus strange Wisconsin loss) look to fit the bit. Creighton will be good, though I don't like them being blown out by Colorado State (who is better than people thought, but not 20 points better). The rest is pretty mediocre to bad. We came into this year with some posters...

I think (especially now) it's fascinating to look at who the leaders in national championships back in 1985 when the tournament expanded. UCLA: 10 (1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975) Kentucky: 5 (1948, 1949, 1951, 1958, 1978) Indiana: 4 (1940, 1953, 1976, 1981) NC...

Rick Pitino, 70 years old (1996, 2013) Bill Self, 60 years old (2008, 2022) Tom Izzo, 68 years old (2000) Tony Bennett, 53 years old (2019) Scott Drew, 52 years old (2021) Dan Hurley, 50 years old (2023) That's the whole list at the moment. In the last three seasons we lost four coaches that...

UConn has tied Cincinnati, Oklahoma State, Syracuse, Arkansas, Houston with 6. As of right now, UConn has 4 titles, the others combined have 6. We broke our tie with Florida, Georgetown, Oklahoma, and Illinois. They have 3 combined, we have 4.

An interesting metric now that I'm safe.

Nugget: UConn peaked at No. 2 in the AP Poll this season. In four of the past five seasons in which they have peaked that high, they advanced to at least the Elite Eight (two titles). The one time in that stretch they missed the E8 was 1999-2000, in which KEA was injured and they lost to...

A win only gave us a Q2 victory because of the slide PC has been on. But all that's left is ranked Q1 games. Here's what would be best for our seeding: BET Creighton over Xavier ACC Duke over Miami (gross) Clemson over Virginia B12 Iowa State over Kansas TCU over Texas B10 Maryland over...

Teams we wanted to win yesterday went 3-1 (with Seton Hall blowing a game). Today they'll probably do worse much worse for a variety of reasons. Obviously we want to win our own game, and that's the most important. After that, these are the results we want: BET St. John's over Marquette DePaul...

Now that Gonzaga has locked down a 3-seed, here are the results we should be hoping for today—by as large a margin as possible: BET St. John's over Butler Seton Hall over DePaul Villanova over Georgetown OOC Oklahoma State over Oklahoma

Defense jumped from 22 to 12 in one game.

Let's take a look at some of the teams' best wins using KenPom. Purdue Quad 1 N 10. Gonzaga N 13. Duke N 25. West Virginia Quad 2 H 38. Marquette A 79. Nebraska UConn Quad 1 N 9. Alabama N 43. Oregon N 50. Iowa State A 53. Florida Quad 2 H 34. Oklahoma State Texas Quad 1 N 10. Gonzaga...

Next Monday, when the AP poll comes out, UConn will minimally be #5 given the losses of Creighton, Arizona, and Baylor. The last time UConn was ranked in the Top 5 during the regular season was 11/21/2011. The last time UConn was ranked in the Top 5 after December (but not counting the final...

League is duck*ing boss. Come at me bro.

Because of this, regardless of the eventual outcome.

Just....just wow. That's our score in 5 halves against FBS opponents.

Awesome game. Awesome ending.

You colossal *****ng idiot. Seriously. You *****ng idiot. This is on you. I tried to save us, but no.

EDIT: Someone bought a cameo and made him say this for money.

A road win by 10+ points (won't count anything above 10 in margin of victory) maximizes everything you can get out of this game, NET-wise. Beating a bubble team desperate for a W on the road by double figures is just a great way to be closing out the season. Now for the Georgetown season sweep...

In the last 4 weeks I've finished Thackery's Vanity Fair, Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, Hardy's Jude the Obscure, Trollope's The Warden, and Dickens' Our Mutual Friend. I'm not necessarily tied to reading a work of "classic" literature, but I like something that has an audiobook I could take out or...

Well, the season is underway. That first half was rough, we can all agree, but as Tennyson's Ulysses says, Danny made sure the boys continued "strong in will / To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield" and they ultimately came out on top. I wonder if that's because Dre wasn't in the house...
