I am pretty sure when he watched the replay that he couldnt believe he did it.

My intro was in 1988. I was 13 and the first year i followed the ncaa tornament closely. I would read the stories in the New Haven Register every day and i kept seeing these stories about UConn in another tournament. I became enthralled for some reason. By that Fall, i was hooked watching...

I know we are biased, but it was so clear entering the tournament that UConn would have to implode to lose. These guys pick different teams in case it happens since no notoriety was going to come from picking UConn. And if they really thought Purdue was better, they didnt watch these teams play...

We will be fortunate to get 5 teams unless the big east tournament turns into a final that has something like the 5 and 6 seed in it. If the big east tournament has all favorites winning, we are absolutely maxed out at 5 but could see only 4 as well depending on how other bubble teams and bid...

It also says their preferred region. So they could prefer the East Region. They wont but they could.

I am not one to exagerate but this was the greatest regular season performance ever. And for those that say all big games should be at Gampel, i got to Hartford at 12:30 for a 3 pm game and the bars were over flowing. I loved it all.

A year ago around this time they came to Hartford and we blew their doors off and that was the point that i knew we were all the way back from the January swoon. This year's game is to remind them we are the defending national champs and there is nothing they can do to stop this locomotive.

The one thing the 24 team has that the 23 team didnt is experience winning a title. The entire coaching staff that coaches the 24 team has a title. Several players have a title. All that experience is fed to the rest of the team. This team wont have a skid like last year's team because of...

Did this guy watch us dismantle North Carolina?

This is the issue. We build a 14 point lead and then decide that we should stop doing everything we did to build that lead. All coaches do this and it is so infuriating.

Powder blue was our opponent tonight. They are not as good as they are ranked. We have bigger aspirations than beating these guys.

My favorite part of his game are his runners in the lane. The threes are great, obviously, but those runners are game changers.

I would like this twice if i could. Syracuse fans used to say that, but now their conference stinks too.

Who wrote the word "entitled"? It would be nice to get the info we get in professionsl sports. They give details on expected timelines and the exact injury. Perhaps HIPAA issues limit the details of the injury but timelines would be nice. No entitlement. Just a little considerstion to...

I remember seeing this back then and thinkung that if i were a fan of that team that my coach should find a way to do both.

I look forward to laughing at that quote every year

When we ask whether this team is better than last year, i need to know if we are comparing it to last January's team or last March's team. Yes to the first and no to the second. The best thing is that this team doesnt have to play last year's team, just the other teams on our schedule.

Do you enjoy being a friggin ? If you are so smart, go look it up yourself instead of asking for help and then criticizing those that helped you. If you speak this way to people in person, you might want to consider preparing yourself for a punch in the mouth.

Think of this like your career and how you can increase your salary. If someone offfered basketball only for more than Big East dollars, you take it. But you keep looking for a better deal. Maybe that includes football but with a partial payout. You take that as your next step. And then so...

Sure there are. All you have to do is do a home and home. So give up a home game the next year. No one does road games only without a payout.

The problem with a losing program with no direction is that people with limited financial resources and limited free time are not going to invest in something that makes them miserable. Ollie did that. Hurley's willingness to run through a brick wall for a victory invigorates me even when his...

30 years ago the basketball team had, off the top of my head, 4 future nba players on it in Donyell Marshall, Donny Marshall, Ray Allen, and Travis Kinght.

Great. You can be the old boomer teacher. We will be the team with 5 men's titles in the last 25 years. So 20% of all titles in a quarter century.

Why fo you spend so much time on the Boneyard? I have no ill will toward Providence, but you fight with a bunch of UConn fans on this site when Providence has zero success compared to UConn. Support your team with all your energy, but give up comparing them to UConn on the Boneyard. It is...

If we were in a mode of building for a tournament run in a couple years, spencer would not be a good choice over the freshman. He is here to guarantee a strong shooter this year because we are positioned to make another big run this year. And if he isnt performing, those kids will get their...

1996. Big east was unbelievable that year but the team went 16-2 in conference and won the big east tournament. Ricky moore was a freshman shutting down Iverson in the second half of the big east championship game. His injury in the ncaa tournament took away their shut down defender and led...

This is the key. CT tickets say this. They dont want you fighting it. If you show to court and lose, then points kick on.

Last year's team played best when Newton was more involved and that team has 3 guys that might be drafted this year. So Hurley's biggest mistake would be forgetting what he learned last year about Newton.

To me, this question is whether the Big East is actually viable as a long term solution to stay competitive. If it is, no way i want to leave. I just dont know that it is.

No. If he does well at the Camp, it could lead to an invite to the combine.

Nothing has happened this offseason yet that we didnt think would happen when the championship game ended. Some people just got overly optimistic.

At the start of last season, we thought we had one year of Newton and Alleyne. We also hoped that Jackson, Hawkins, and Sanogo had such good years that they could go pro. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. This result gets us better recruits going forward. Let's go!!!

Next title i am stopping by your house and flipping your car and breaking down the door to your house. If you dont like that then tell me what the difference here is.

I am just thrilled that the list is 11 games long. I remember losing to Duke in the Final 8 in 1990 thinking that was our one shot to make a Final Four. Never been so happy to be so wrong.

As much as i root for the Big East in the tournament, i agree that i have no interest in playing Creighton again this year.
