We already know Jay Wright is not walking through that door....but who else? I'll start. Kyle Lowry is not walking through that door

He did everything you should do against uconn. 1. Left Whaley, Jackson, and Sanogo wide open on the perimeter and packed defense in. 2. Doubled Sanogo in different ways..sometimes delayed..sometimes from the top…sometimes from weak side. 3. Tried very hard to get Sanogo in foul trouble. 4...

Drummond has made a lot of money so no need to feel bad for him. He will also be on a good team, the Sixers. But his days as a key part of an nba team are over and Embid has completed his career long dominance of Drummond. I expect Drummond to have a few more one year deals in the upcoming...

Ok, this is not why we lost but this has been something very noticeable the entire season. Tyrese Martin is a really bad leaper unless he has a wide open dunk. He gets his shot blocked so much mostly because he can’t elevate on his second jump. Also on his drives to the hoop he can barely get...

I was able to attend the game today by a lucky connection that came through. here are some thoughts from the game and sitting with cardboard cutouts: There was a thread earlier this week asking who is the leader of the team. It’s Bouknight clearly. I had a great time watching and listening to...

I’m worried about Akok. His injury was so devastating. I got so excited the two times he has shown some flashes but a year later he still doesn’t look the same and Hurley definitely doesn’t trust him on the court. I’m also worried about him mentally with the huge expectations he set for himself...

This is our 4th season watching Polley. He has shown he can be a very good, sometimes great shooter while trailing a play, spotting up on a fast break or spotting up in the halfcourt when the defense falls asleep. When he’s on fire he can shoot off the dribble a little bit, but not often...

He just played a couple minutes in his first 2 games back. I understand and agree with limiting his minutes but nobody is going to be able to get in a rhythm or have time to do almost anything positive by playing 2-3 minutes. Also, he's been fully participating in these extreme 2+ hour practices...

This has to be the starting lineup going forward right? Surrounding Bouk with the best 3 point shooters we have plus Whaley is our most dangerous group possible with the best spacing on offense...and Martin is such a good rebounder that it isn't necessary to start another traditional big next...

What's up BYF? I took some heat on the last update for not addressing "The Big Texan 72 Oz Steak Challenge live stream thread". Indeed, it is a very important thread. in 2 weeks it already has 36k views, 2k responses and is 82 pages long...all impressive metrics. The BYF (Boneyard Family) is...

I'm going to give an update of life on the Boneyard and the people who reside here. This may become a weekly thing if you all show interest or it could die out quickly if the haterz have their way. Here we go: Dream Jobbed 2.0 strongly advocates for the downtown Manchester food and beer scene...

NCAA and conferences cancel all games but say teams can have a season only against teams in their own state with limited capacity of fans (season ticket holders for uconn can attend): UConn Yale Central Connecticut Sacred Heart University of Hartford Fairfield play each team twice. Top 4 seeds...

The cousin to the crab dribble..legal by rule. Do we go undefeated and win the National championship by 30?

I was bored so a took a look at nba frontcourt players who have torn their Achilles and how they came back from it. It’s so hard to find a comparison because most of them had the injury in their late 20’s or 30’s. Some players came back at a high level but there is always a drop off although for...

Sniper out, btches!!!!!!!

The officiating in the league is horrendous. Games are unwatchable (unless you are an addict like us) and it’s not fair to the players being victimized by the refs wanting to be the star of the show. hurley needs to stop worrying about being a good sport and air it out at the press conference...

Hurley has had the team take a photo of the AAC trophy everywhere they go this season, road trips, msg, team outings, etc. yeah it’s a corny team thing that happens in sports but it also states a goal he and the team felt/feel is realistic. Basically, he expected uconn to be good this season...

There has been a lot of talk on here about Carlton's regression and it is hard to argue with. For all of Carlton's limitations athletically, he is long and has shown in the past to have some nice moves and nice touch near the basket. For the most part, we haven't seen that this year. His touch...

Akok is a very unique player for us. We have never had a shotblocking, 3 point shooting big. The only one that comes close in comparison is Charlie V but that was a different era and Charlie only average one 3point attempt per game. Akok should probably triple that. So what do you expect? Here's...

With Adams and Gilbert out we have no ball handlers that can create consistently. Smith is better at dribbling around and surveying than actually creating, B Adams is obviously not ready yet, and Vital is just not a very good ball handler. When Cobb gets touches or catches in the paint or foul...

If anyone has been following the Bucks, who are having a great season, they have built the team completely around Giannis, who is not a shooter, by giving him space to operate and spreading the floor with 3 point shooters. It has worked very well. But the crazy thing is the complete role...

Christian Vital aka CV aka The Sniper passed 900 career points at UConn last night. He will reach 1000 soon which is pretty damn good for someone who was seen as strictly a reserve guard when he arrived at UConn. Sniper has gotten this far by a great self-belief, hard work, jacking 3's and...

A couple weeks ago I mentioned that James Bouknight, our 2019 shooting guard commit has a very advanced euro step, probably better than any incoming freshman we have had. Others developed a good one at UConn like Shabazz but never came into college with it mastered already. Today I noticed an...

Maybe this doesn't deserve its own thread but Drummond went 0 for 3 last night on 3 pointers. I love the way the game has changed and how skilled shooters are prevalent at every position....but some guys should just never shoot 3's. Besides that he played great and looked to be in amazing shape.

I mean, normally I would say that would be unbecoming of a uconn fan since we have 4 national championships since 1999 and have produced nba all stars and a soon to be hall of famer. But with our struggles the last couple years, having to take on last minute recruits to field a team, losing one...

I’m all in on Crazy Christian: Starting scuffles Using all of his strength to try to dunk instead of laying it up Elaborate handshakes Screaming at the crowd Punching his own chest as hard as possible Heat check 3s even when he’s not hot Talking trash Exploding into passing lanes. He’s crazy...

lets play a game. Write things that could happen through the remaining of the 2018 season into the off season based on percentages of if they could actually happen in increments of 10. 0% chance that uconn wins the national championship 10% chance that UConn beats Villanova on Jan 20th 20%...

Adams is really close to 1000. Should get it Wednesday against UCF. Would’ve gotten it today if not for the scooter incident. Has scored most of his points with crafty right handed layups and floaters. Interesting way to score that much in today’s game. Congrats to him! 4hunnid 4 1thousand!

VCU's Terry Larrier OFFICIAL Ballislife Mixtape! Athletic Wing Is Full of Potential! I'm not a fan of Larrier's game as I have expressed plenty of times before. But man, it sucks that his injury and time off have destroyed his athleticism and apparently his confidence in his legs. Check out...

I wasn't on the BY back then so I don't know what the discussions were like. But obviously this was bullcrap. Kemba lost out to Ben freaking Hansbrough and Jimmer freaking Fredette. Excuse me as I reach deep into my pocket and pull out the RACE CARD. Those awards going to white kids that were...

So on Instagram, KW posted a video of himself coming within centimeters of touching the top of the vertical leap measuring stick. I took a screenshot of it, and I couldn't get him at his peak. My pic shows him on his way down and not as close to the top. But you can check his ig to see the...

I came across this new video of shabazz off-season training. It's quite awesome.

Strengths: 1. Absolutely ripped and looked like he lost weight for basketball. If he lifted for size he would be even more of a beast...not to mention if hes all oiled up. 2. Not a bad looking guy. Tall enough for wwe 3. Reasonably well spoken 4. He has the whole red Ferrari gimmick that can...

It is going to be a tough year. Hopefully, the team improves and makes some noise in conference play. But for now, lets enjoy the lone bright spot of the season.
