    Passing and taking care of the ball... this season's 1.88 A:TO rate

    On the year, we had 630 assists and 335 turnovers, for an incredible 1.88 A:TO rate. That's 18.5 assists and 9.9 turnovers per game. We bested last year's record of 570 assists (averaging 17.3 assists and 12.9 turnovers per game for a 1.34 A:TO rate). Tristen had 6.2apg and 2.5 to (2.5 a:to...

    Hurley's Cam shove

    I posted this in the other thread, but it was eerily reminiscent of Shabazz's shove of Boat in the 2014 championship game: Pretty wild he did that right in front of the official but thankfully it had zero impact on the game.

    Last minute championship game tips

    Hey - strongly considering a last minute solo trip to Phoenix for the Championship game. A couple questions... How strict are the ushers? Can I buy a cheap nosebleed ticket and then work my way down? Where are the UConn sections? I assume I should wait to purchase tickets until just before...

    Are we tiring teams out due to superior conditioning?

    It's a pretty simple observation but our offense is designed with a ton of false movement, cuts, off-ball screens, and passing. It requires a ton of energy and concentration to guard our guys on the defensive end. There are very few chances to collect yourself and get a breather, especially...

    Kemba and Jeremy Lamb game-in-progress interview

    https://bleacherreport.com/videos/420037-full-kemba-walker-jeremy-lamb-interview Hadn't seen this posted before. Kemba and Jeremy were interviewed midway through the first half. (Weird timing for an interview.) Kemba mentions that Rudy Gay is his favorite Husky and then lists his all-time...

    Andre's composure early in the 2nd half

    I was more than a little concerned when Andre picked up those quick two fouls and headed to the bench -- thought it could have been a reprisal of the Marquette game when he only logged 15 minutes. That said, I was very impressed when, at the 15 minute mark in the second half, he allowed Miami...

    The Athletic: UConn’s roller-coaster season is barreling down the tracks to the Elite 8

    https://theathletic.com/4342179/2023/03/24/uconn-arkansas-sweet-16-elite-8/?source=emp_shared_article Some great writing in here... "The Huskies were so good that it was hard to overly criticize the Razorbacks for a meek showing. You don’t blame trees for falling in a storm."

    Doron visits the team

    Hope we get more material out of this visit, like a video of him signing the wall and some quotes. One of my favorite Huskies and master of the pass ahead.

    OT: New Mexico State basketball shooting

    This is a pretty wild story. Essentially one of the NM State basketball players, forward Mike Peake, was set up by a 17 year old girl in retaliation for a fight at the UNM vs. NMSU football game in October. Mike Peake played 9 minutes against us in the tournament, hitting one three...

    The Wrench gets an exhibit 10 contract with the Hornets

    Essentially just an invite to their training camp as the team can cut him without penalty but it's a great opportunity to impress people. Hopefully it nets out in a 2 way for him. Pulling for Isaiah.

    Hurley's neck bandage

    Does anyone know what happened with coach's neck? I know he had a dual level cervical disc replacement a couple years ago before the season. Was surprised to see the bandage today... I assumed those surgeries were good for decades. Hope everything is ok.

    Donny Marshall as a color commentator

    I'm watching the 14 Illinois vs. 21 Ohio State game on Fox (OSU up 15 at the half). Donny's calling the game and he's doing a really nice job IMO. Good voice, cadence and knowledge. He was complaining in the first half about fouling three-point shooters and the play-by-play guy asked him what...
