    What is the best individual, single-game performance in UConn history?

    Clingan just put up a triple double (unfortunately uncredited) in the Elite 8 against the B1G champion. Gotta be him

    Ballo to Indiana

    It's always been theater

    Solo looks to be working already

    I'm impressed they're even back in the gym. If I had just won a title 8 days ago, I'd still be partying

    Koby Brea entered the portal. Please please Coach Hurley

    Diarra/Nowell Ball/Brea/Ross Stewart/McNeeley Karaban/Roumoglou/Abraham Johnson/Reed/Singare That would be the deepest team in the country and a bonafide contender. Sign me up.

    Sanogo Gets His First NBA Double Double

    Two-way deals are always one year maximum I think? He should be a free agent

    Who is going to be the #2 brand in the Big East for the rest of the decade?

    Probably St John's? Nova not firing Neptune will be a disaster. Cooley has his work cut out for him at Georgetown. Marquette, Xavier, Seton Hall, Butler, Providence, and Creighton will continue to be differing levels of good/great under their coaches but are programs very unlikely to develop...

    Sanogo Gets His First NBA Double Double

    Sanogo going from 22-20 to a DNP is hilarious. Bulls are a deeply unserious franchise

    2024 Recruiting: Tarris Reed Jr.

    Samson did some really impressive things this tournament. Played to his strength but showed more on help D and more composure down low than he did for much of the year. This clip stuck out. Great block -> nearly full sprint -> catch, stop, pivot -> composed layup. If he can add these sorts of...

    Courant article about 24/25 roster

    https://www.courant.com/2024/04/13/dan-hurley-commits-to-uconns-future-starts-construction-of-2024-25-roster-as-he-hunts-three-peat/ Couple great articles in the Courant today but this quote stood out to me: “What (Diarra) envisions for himself next year in terms of role has got to be aligned...

    Clingan declares for the NBA

    Tough day for "he's not ready" guys. Top 10 pick incoming. Probable 9 figure contract to follow about 4 years from now

    Big East - Big 12 Challenge Going Away After This Upcoming Season

    Gampel if it is during the semester, XL if it is after.

    The transfer portal opens today

    If Smith can bring back Carlyle too they just might be pretty good

    Big East expansion odds

    Though it wouldn’t be my first choice, a gutted ACC starts to look more appealing if we bring some of the Big East with us. Assuming BC, Cuse, Duke, Wake, SMU are left behind. Add Memphis, USF, and us for all sports. Army and Navy for football. And then most importantly Nova, St John’s...

    Big East - Big 12 Challenge Going Away After This Upcoming Season

    First choice is obviously Kansas. Next for me would be a men's/women's doubleheader vs Baylor. Then Houston, Zona, and Iowa State. After that it gets unappealing quickly. Wouldn't put it past the conferences/networks to put us against ASU and try to play up the Hurley v Hurley stuff

    Big East expansion odds

    I don’t want to expand. Double round robin rocks. But if we had to, Gonzaga, VCU, and Dayton make the most sense to me despite their significant shortcomings. If all were to provide the same monetary value (unlikely) my preferred order would be VCU > Zags > Dayton

    Upcoming Gampel Enchantments

    I would think there’s room for serious concourse expansion on the side paralleling Jim Calhoun way. Move the athletic department offices into the renovated Guyer/field house or downstairs in Gampel. Not sure what you could do on the other side with the Natatorium over there. Wonder if the Golf...

    Predictions for 24-25 season

    I think we will bring in multiple talented players via the portal. Really like McNeely but not holding my breath. Think Solo and Stewart make big jumps. I think Karaban returns and continues to be stellar. Should be a great team again. Hoping to win between 1 and 5 more trophies next year!

    Predictions for 24-25 season

    If DeAndre Daniels came back for 2015, I think we would have at least been a Sweet 16 team. Heck there’s a world where KO is still coaching here if DD came back imo

    I am sorry Arkansas fans

    I think it's a very good hire for Arkansas. Don't know that they'll win a title, but they'll be a top 25 program consistently with a lot of attention on them

    Championship Rally at Gampel (Tuesday Night @ 8:30p) > 2024 UConn Victory Parade in Hartford on Saturday @11a

    Buses struggled mightily to turn off Trinity St last year. Plenty of exposure to the team. Good spot to post up then head to XL when they pass.

    How did you become a UConn fan?

    Born in 94. Dad would watch the games on TV growing up. Took me to my first game at Gampel in 03/04. Really fell in love in high school with Jerome Dyson and then Kemba. UConn was just about the best school I could get into, so when I got in it was an easy decision to attend. Worked for the...

    UConn and the Transfer Portal

    Ultimately I think Karaban will come back. Rather than be a possible NBA minimum/two-way/G League guy, he would would be the big dog on campus, collect a nice chunk of NIL money, I would imagine he could finish his degree (even though he'll only have been here 7 semesters), and we should be...

    How does SJ compare to other bench Centers?

    Diarra (at least since the start of the ACC tournament) is everything I wished Samson could be

    30-0 run against the 2nd best offense in the country in the Elite 8. I love this team so much

    OT: A Reason to Dislike Siena

    We should be happy because this keeps Siena from trying to hire Kimani Young or Luke Murray

    I've watched this kid. He's like Bonzie Colson. Undersized but tremendous feel and game. Athleticism sneaks up on you.

    Northwestern Post Game Thread

    Clingan very literally had 10 blocks. Why the official scorer decided to remove his name from an incredibly small list of triple doubles in the NCAA tournament, we may never know

    Who would be your dream transfer portal pick up for next year.

    Raynaud is the #1 player in the portal currently at a position we need to improve if we want to be a contender. If we could attract him, that would be a huge win

    Who would be your dream transfer portal pick up for next year.

    I think FAU is going to have an exodus but I bet a good chunk of those guys will follow to Michigan

    OT. City Steam Closing

    Very sad to hear City Steam is closing as I thought it was a good bar and decent restaurant. Would love to see the whole building properly renovated. The hotel next door is so dated and drab. Would love to see someone with some imagination come in and make something special.
